Nightbringer | The Arthurian Online Encyclopedia

About Nightbringer

Welcome to Nightbringer – a gateway to the shadows and splendor of myth.

What began in the 1990s as a humble tribute to the legends of King Arthur has grown into a living archive of myth, magic, and medieval mystery. Nightbringer is a labor of love – crafted, expanded, and carefully curated over decades to become a rich resource for enthusiasts, scholars, and curious souls alike.

At its heart lies the Arthurian world: tales of noble knights and tragic queens, enchanted swords and the sacred grail, betrayals, quests, and the haunting beauty of a fading golden age.

The site is organized into four main sections:

Characters
Meet the legendary figures who shaped the Arthurian mythos – from Arthur himself to Guenevere, Lancelot, Merlin, and their many companions and adversaries.

Items
Discover the magical and symbolic artifacts that appear in the tales, from the Holy Grail to Excalibur and beyond – their origins, meanings, and transformations.

Locations
Step into the timeless places of the legend: Camelot, Avalon, and other mysterious or historic settings, each steeped in story and symbolism.

Events
Trace the arc of the legends through their key battles, quests, tournaments, tragedies, and turning points.

But Nightbringer does not end with Arthur. The world of myth is vast – and growing. A new realm is emerging under the banner Myths and Legends, where creatures and forces from across folklore will soon take form: dragons and fair folk, witches and werewolves, spirits, demons, and more.

Nightbringer continues to evolve. It is not a static archive, but a living, breathing chronicle – shaped by research, reflection, and the many messages I recieve from readers around the world. Whether you’re a longtime devotee of the Grail or newly enchanted by a passing mention of Morgan le Fay, this place is for you.

Welcome – and beware the shadows.

Hello, I’m Veronica.

I live just outside Gothenburg on Sweden’s beautiful west coast. I share my home with my husband and our three adorable cats.

Professionally, I serve as a CFO and handle marketing for my own business, which I proudly co-own with two colleagues. This dual role keeps me on my toes and continually challenges me to grow.

When I’m not immersed in the world of finance and marketing, I indulge in my various hobbies. Traveling is a passion of mine – I relish exploring new places and experiencing different cultures. I also enjoy photography and web design, which gives me a creative outlet to build and innovate.

In my downtime, you can often find me with a good book in hand. I’m an avid reader with a particular interest in history, biographies, fantasy, and folklore.

I especially enjoy exploring the characters and the worlds of King Arthur and the legends surrounding him and his knights. My home office/library is filled with many books on these subjects, offering endless hours of discovery and enjoyment.
