The Faces of Beardsgaard • Spiritbrook

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.

From our sensitive skin beard line, we bring you Spiritbrook, set like an island jewel in the Gilded Sea of Asgard, where the Gods and cultish rodents dwell.

Read all about the lore of Spiritbrook Stream on the Beardsgaard World Anvil, and scroll on to see our mortal realm take on the idyllic southern exile island of the rebellion-fomenting and power mad rodent god Kevin the Rainbow Flying Gerbil, come to life.

But how were we going to represent this magical gerbil with a bearded human man (this is for a beard line, after all)? With Andy, a long time client who is full of sass and covered in a rainbow of nerd tattoos, running around the woods Calvin and Hobbes style seemed the best real world representation.

Spring into the magic of Spiritbrook 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.
