In celebration of the upcoming winter solstice here is The Yule Goat by John Bauer. In later Scandinavian traditions the yule goat became a giver of presents. Does anyone know if this still happens?

The Nisse from Scandinavian folklore is associated with the winter solstice and Christmas. They live on farms and will punish farmers who are lazy or disrespectful. In more recent times they deliver gifts. They're very fond of porridge with butter! 😋

Modern Elves are actually based on stories of nisser, a type of helpful household gnome, popular in Scandinavian folklore. 🧙‍♂️🎄

La semana pasada jugué mi primera partida a Vaesen. Me gusta la ambientación del juego, el siglo XIX no-británico no se suele explorar y da mucho de sí, al igual que la mitología escandinava. El concepto de hacer un hogar de un castillo ruinoso también me ha hecho gracia.

I don't get why elves are always connected to Scandinavian culture when there's a culture that fits them just perfectly...

For a short while, we were considering drawing inspiration from Cornish history as well as Scandinavian, and I came up with this idea of an undead knight prowling the mountains. We scrapped it for scope and thematic reasons, but boy, this idea slaps. love it

Looks like I have to start drawing my speculative Troll idea, where stories of troll originate from large monkeys that once roam Scandinavia. It’s not a real theory but it’s fun for the fiction.

Scandinavian trolls were described as stupid and slow, and were rumored to keep bears as pets. Their simple lifestyle was one of peace unless they felt threatened, in which case they would respond with savage violence.
