Geiranger, Norway is a very small village with a population that rarely surpasses 500. The little town is nestled between mountains, in the valley at the head of the Geirangerfjord, a branch of the Storfjorden. Being a village of its size, a majority of its population are of the Viking and Scandinavian descent, aside from the small few immigrants or tourists that travel to Geiranger for its beauty.
A wonder of nature, Geiranger and the Geirangerfjord lie in the middle of the mountain Åkerneset. Though beautiful, the mountain is a constant threat to the citizens of Geiranger. It has the potential to erode and collapse into the fjord, causing a tsunami that could destroy the village. This far to the south in Norway, the summers are warm with swimming off the beaches around the fjord, while the mountains are high enough to allow for hiking, skiing and other winter activities.
Aside from the stunning fjord and green mountains, Geiranger also has its iconic Seven Sisters Waterfall, named for its seven separate streams. It Is located near some of the oldest farms in the small village, Knivsflå and Skageflå, some of the historic mountain farms that rest along the steep mountainsides along the fjord. And nestled in the heart of the village is the Geiranger Church. It is one of the oldest buildings in the village, housing Christianity in the town along with being the headquarters and the rumored location of the Vægher Beacon.
In present Geiranger the knowledge of the hunters and witches is all but myth and legends. Although a majority of the small village is made up of either, the knowledge of their existence is swept under the rug like a secret. The entirety of law enforcement and the church is under the control of hunters, using their societal standings to their advantage. While the witches practice in secret in underground covens, commonly in the woods that cover the mountains.
A quaint, peaceful town, Geiranger has stayed out of the world’s eye. Its small population and secluded location leaves it and its citizens in their own bubble, like a time capsule. It is a beautiful town that is being thrust into the modern era trying to hold strong to its Viking roots, while an underground war threatens to change everything for the village.
