Varjumaailm

Varjumaailm is a fictional realm within the Finnish role-playing game "Shadowlands." It is depicted as a parallel dimension closely intertwined with the mortal world, often described as a place where shadows hold sway and the veil between realities is thin. The nature of Varjumaailm is often shrouded in mystery, with its inhabitants and landscapes varying depending on the specific lore or campaign setting.

In Shadowlands lore, Varjumaailm is typically associated with the supernatural, including ghosts, spirits, and other ethereal entities. It can be a place of both danger and wonder, where the laws of physics may not apply and the influence of powerful beings can be felt. Access to Varjumaailm is often gained through rituals, magical portals, or by those who are particularly sensitive to its presence.

The concept of Varjumaailm allows game masters to introduce elements of the paranormal and the otherworldly into their campaigns. It provides a canvas for exploring themes of life and death, the unknown, and the hidden forces that may influence the mortal world. The specific characteristics of Varjumaailm are often defined by the individual game group, offering flexibility in storytelling and world-building within the broader framework of Shadowlands.
