The Faces of Beardsgaard • Asgard

Beardsgaard may be a barbershop in Batavia here in the mortal plane, but it is also a fantasy world. In that world is an apothecary, River Peak Apothecary, that makes magic potions scented by the seasons, their scents evoking the places you will find all over the Realm. Here in Batavia, the people behind both brands are one and the same.

Every Apothecary product is a location on our map of the Realm. The Faces of Beardsgaard series takes you inside the stories of this fantasy Realm we lay over the real world.

From our summertime line of candles, we bring you Asgard, from the land of the Gods.

Read all about the lore of the kingdom of Asgard on the Beardsgaard World Anvil, and scroll on to see these sun-soaked magic lands, and the first king of Asgard, Balandir Godsheartcome to life.

Blademaiden and Nick have known each other since middle school, and when she was planning a photo shoot of the first king of the party animal Asgardian gods, even 30 years later, there was no one else in the world she could imagine in the role. As expected, Nick brought the fun on an epic scale.

Sail into the magic of Asgard with us.

Explore the magic potions that summon this place and its scents at will. Of course, if you wish to join us on adventures through the Realm of Beardsgaard, tune into our in-Realm D&D games on the Beardsgaard YouTube channel.
