A timeless saga, spanning over three ages, set in the Dark Forest where mythical beings - Väsen - such as trolls, gnomes, faeries and sirens are real.

Trollheim is a magical realm of mythical beings sharing mystery, hope, and magic across generations.

Trollheim is an original fantasy world (IP) rooted in Nordic folk belief and mythic nature, coming to life across art and entertainment (transmedia).

Trollheim is a place to escape, either by yourself or with your friends, where you can live amongst the beings of the Dark Forest and engage in your imagination.

Trollheim is a storytelling world sharing the universal stories of humanity through the lives, cultures, and adventures of Väsen. Trollheim stories portray differing perspectives; from the bravest gnome to the smallest giant. With nuanced characters and heartfelt journeys, the core of our storytelling is not spectacle, but connection--to ourselves, each other, and most of all, nature.

“Väsen” is the Swedish word for “mythical beings.” In Nordic folk belief, trolls, gnomes, faeries, giants, sirens, etc were called “väsen”.

Long ago, Väsen roamed the nine realms of Nordic mythology, often living their lives in forests, and sometimes as close to humans as directly under the floorboards of an old farmhouse. Unfortunately, Oden’s wrath forced the Väsen to flee Midgård, where the Dark Forest found them. Over the course of the second age of Trollheim - Age of Väsen - as the memories and friendships of these magical creatures faded from the hearts of humans, they instead became known as mythical beings. However, we know to this day that in the Dark Forest realm of Trollheim, trolls, gnomes, faeries, and sirens — are real.
