  • It aims to foster community among enthusiasts of books, role-playing, and board games.

Fantasy authors Sophia Larsson and Beatrice Lindéh will host a fantasy-inspired convention in Örebro. The event aims to reach young people and promote reading, as the authors noticed a lack of young readers at a previous literary event. According to Larsson, fantasy has gained popularity among youth partly due to trends like "BookTok" on social media.

The convention will focus not only on books and reading but also on community, providing a space for people interested in role-playing games, board games, or reading to connect.
