ESCAPE THE UNDERWORLD

(To be announced autumb 2022)

Halloween, or All Saints Day, is a day when the undead (called Draugr in Norse Mythology), are thought to walk among the living. To stay safe we must “ward” off these dangerous entities. In old Danish the word ‘vard’ is very similar to ward, and it means 'spirit'. When Viking seers began their ritual they needed the help of a ‘vardlokker’ - someone who could lure spirits by singing. This would help them achieve a state of trance, during which they could cross over and contact the undead.

In our fantasy the undead are stuck in the Shadow Valleys. In the world of Norse Theme Parks, Ragnarok was not the end of all things – it was the beginning. Level by level, our Yggdrasil Chronicles will chart the progress of two heroes, Kenna The Voelva (a Seer) and her trusty companion Eddar The Bard (our Poet!). Their mission is to defeat the Chaos Forces and revive the Tree of Life and the realms it supported - all of which fell in the devastation following Ragnarok.

Our magic-weilding, shape shifting, vision-conjuring heroes may be fictional, but they are inspired by good old-fashioned Norse Mythology and the Danes folklore.

This event will endeed be a challenge to the fainthearted.
