Greetings, wayward wanderers of the world!
I’m currently weaving a Dungeons & Dragons adventure set in a world that smells faintly of pine, peat smoke, and something… vaguely unsettling. Think 1970s–1980s rural Scandinavia, with a twist of folklore and a generous helping of mischief! The forests are thick, the nights are long, and the hills are positively crawling with fae—boggarts, trolls, changelings, and all manner of strange, stinky little men with moss in their beards and secrets in their pockets.
I’m on the hunt for creatures of myth and mischief from your corner of the world—especially the ones your grandmother warned you about when you were little. You know the stories: “Never follow the lights in the woods,” or “Don’t whistle after dark, or the will-o’-the-wisps will come for you!”
If your culture has a spooky bedtime tale, a household spirit with too many teeth, or a mysterious woodland dweller who steals soup or braids horse manes into knots—please share! I’d love to fill this world with as many eerie, enchanting beings and locations as I can find.
Thank you, and may your lantern never go out in the fog <3
