The village at the forest’s edge

The forest begins beyond the last houses. This is Eldmyr: a browser-based storytelling RPG in a world built by people and rooted in Nordic folklore. You say what you want to do in your own words. The game master answers, and the story follows the path you choose.

There is a village, a lake, a mine and people with troubles of their own. What you do there may matter when you return.

What happens when you play?

A Game Master Who Listens

Write that you want to ask the blacksmith for directions, turn back, or follow the light between the trees. The game master improvises within Eldmyr’s world and tries to carry forward what you have already done.

Pictures in the Spirit of Bauer

Scene images borrow their mood from John Bauer and Arthur Rackham: mist, roots, and creatures that may have spotted you first. Images are generated with AI from the story; sometimes a scene is left to the words.

Voice Narration

You can listen to narration and music, or let the text speak for itself.

What’s Next?
