Folkungaträdet

A mist‑shrouded coastline on Sweden’s eastern shore sets the stage, where an ancient burial mound rises from the cliffs, its stones etched with forgotten runes. Legends speak of the Folkung line, a family that once held the realm’s highest honor before vanishing into myth, and of dwarves who guarded a horned relic called Månegarm. The air hums with the stories of kings, gold crowns, and the fragile threads that bind human fate to the earth beneath their feet.

When the first spring thaw arrives, a fleet of Viking ships breaks the winter’s silence, their crews hauling timber, tools, and market stalls to the deserted shore. At the mound, a lone dwarf named Jorgrimme, clad in fox‑skin and bearing a drum of troll‑song, raises a warning that echoes across the gathering. Listeners are drawn into a world where the clash of steel, the roar of the sea, and the whisper of ancient gods signal the beginning of a saga that will trace the rise and fall of a once‑great house.
