Visions of Drytvaarte

Do you like Dungeon Synth and Fantasy Literature? Does your mind wander to far away worlds on daily basis? Do you ever think what kind of loot people around you would drop?

Phantom Lure is excited to add our first literary title to the store. As we aim to add more books to the store, it is an honour to add Joel A.T. Roos' first book to the store.

Joel A.T. Roos (www.jatroos.com) is a UK based fantasy writer who takes his inspiration from Finnish and Karelian myths and legends with elements of existentialism, forest and sauna mysticism, without forgetting the classical elements of epic adventure, battles and archaic lore.

This is a great read to be enjoyed with your favourite Dungeon Synth artists or even as a setting for your tabletop roleplaying campaign.

Visions of Drytvaarte is a compilation of tales that build an intricate web about the world’s past. A world builder’s dream book, this fictional history book indulges lore connoisseurs with a stupendous amount of names and places. Throughout the book are atmospheric illustrations to bring the Finnish and Karelian myths inspired world further to life by the author’s father and Joona ‘Tulikoura’ Kujanen.

Reading about Drytvaarte is like…

Watching snowfall in solitude. Flying in your sleep over spruce forests.
Staring at a ceiling at night. Feeling alone regardless of how social you are.
Looking at sunlight through an old cottage window.
Gazing at the ever-shining stars.
Having those silent moments for yourself.
Wishing to disappear to one’s dreams.
Being hidden from the world.

Roos’ second book Mythic Dream of Drytvaarte is going to be released early next year.
