Stories from Väruld
Stories from the world of Väruld.
Whispers of poems, fragments of lore, and echoes of distant journeys. Some tales unfold in moments, others across many paths. Voices shaped by AI bring the realm to life — diverse, timeless, and just beyond the veil of reality. Updated weekly.
Väruld is a fantasy world I have created, which also includes books with detailed descriptions and novels.
All stories (unless otherwise stated) are written by me, Désirée Nordlund.

Avug's saga, chapter 3
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
A quiet question, finally spoken: Avug asks what she has long suspected — and receives an answer that changes how she sees herself, her family, and the world she lives in.
In a silent room above the household, truth is offered gently, almost kindly. Avug learns why she eats when others do not, why she thinks differently, and why some are allowed to choose while others are shaped to serve.
Chapter three of four, where inheritance is revealed, secrecy is required, and a child glimpses the machinery behind obedience — and recoils.
