Vaesen: The Lost Mountain Saga includes:
Chapter 1: DUTY AND DESPAIR
Mysterious accidents plague the Swedish mining town of Falun, and a pious man takes it upon himself to get to the bottom of the problem - which he is convinced is the result of moral depravity and witchcraft. But something far more wicked is luring in the dark caverns.
Chapter 2: THE BEGINNING OF THE FALL
The University of Upsala is hosting an exclusive ball rumored to reveal something that will shake the scientific community to its core. But in the midst of all the excitement, there are alarming reports that the Asylum is getting overcrowded due to an unexplained uptick in admitted patients.
Chapter 3: WHERE THE SUN DIES
An island off the coast of northern Norway is in distress, and all previous rescue attempts have failed. As winter approaches, the authorities hire a team of experts to discover the truth. What follows is one of the most dangerous missions the Society has ever embarked upon.
Chapter 4: THE PRINCE & THE WITCH
The ancient spring celebration of Valborg is close, eager to enchant those who participate. But within the rich history of the surrounding forests of the celebration, secrets are waiting to be uncovered.
Chapter 5: THE LOST MOUNTAIN SAGA
An ancient stone has been discovered in the dark caves of the Abisko region in the north of Sweden. Protected for thousands of years by creatures no longer walking this earth, these sacred stones were never meant to be found. However, as is the nature of human curiosity and greed, exploitation soon begins with little regard for potential risks or consequences.
The hardcover is available for pre-order now on Free League’s website for 398.00kr (US$36.26, £29.73) and includes immediate access to the pre-order.
Free League also opened pre-orders for the Dragonbane Bestiary for the newest edition of the classic Swedish fantasy RPG. From the press release:
Oh, will no good deed go unpunished? I suppose time will tell, but right now things are looking bleak indeed. I have wandered, ridden, climbed, crawled, and swum all over this earth; I have spoken with all manners of creatures, observed, analyzed, and recorded almost everything worth knowing about the people and beings of the world. And yet here I am, unthanked and crouched in a godforsaken crevice, hunted by several of the creatures that I’ve graciously included in my catalog. How astoundingly rude!
– Theodora Sneezewort, one of a kind
From cat people to chimeras, fairies to frog people, hippogriffs to hydras, and many more – creatures both wondrous and horrifying are coming! We are happy to announce the upcoming Bestiary for our recently released fantasy RPG Dragonbane.
