The Faces of Beardsgaard • Svartalfheim

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 autumntime line of candles, we bring you Svartalfheim, from the land of the Night Elves.

Read all about the lore of the kingdom of Svartalfheim on the Beardsgaard World Anvil, and scroll on to see these dark magic mountain lands, and Archfae ravenfolk conservationist/gossipmonger Crebain Oydfeather come to life.

We were really racing the sky orb on this one, on a day where we were supposed to be depicting fall, but an early snowfall made this a far chillier expedition than expected. And don't let Jerry's serious face fool you, rarely have we guffawed harder through an entire shoot than this day.

Fall into the magic of Svartalfheim 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.
