The Faces of Beardsgaard • Niflheim

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 wintertime line of candles, we bring you Niflheim, from the land of the Water Elementals.

Read all about the lore of the kingdom of Niflheim on the  Beardsgaard World Anvil, and scroll on to see these waterfall-laced glacial lands and the journey of impetuous Mist Spirit Elegil Fogfyre come to life.

We got up well before dawn this day to take one of the former barbers of Beardsgaard to an adorable little waterfall in a local forest preserve and create one of our most difficult fantasy settings for our freshest smelling candle.

Dive into the magic of Niflheim 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.
