About V. C. Wahlström

Victoria Carina Wahlström was born on February 4th, 1994, in Sweden. V. C. Wahlström have been writing since 2009, with The Eferian Day being first created in 2015.

The primary foundations of V. C. Wahlström’s writing style lays in the bases of each word being its own unique sound when put together gives the sentences a music-like note once read. Energetic and playful rhythmic structures give each sentence a fun-to-read feel throughout the entire text. Taking inspirations of poetry writing techniques, the text’s focus lays in the sounds of the words and sentences themselves.

The will to create concise explanations for magic systems and the nature of made-up worlds has always been a lingering thought within the enjoyment of them. The very first iteration of such works for V. C. Wahlström was the idea of understanding the anatomy and nature of mythical creatures. The book was to have detailed descriptions of how mythical creatures within a grounded fictional world would live amongst each other as well as feature evolutionary trees connecting every creature with each other whilst also having anatomy drawings of said creatures. This book never came to fruition. But became the spark for written works of explainable Fantasy elements which later formed into the Haan magic system.

With a total of four years of education, V. C. Wahlström’s primary education comes from Bäckedals Folkhögskola in Härjedalen, Jämtlands county, Sweden.

The first year was in blacksmithing with a focus on the methods used in the Viking Age and the European Medieval period. The course included elements such as charcoal making both modern and traditional, smelting and casting bronze and brass items, pattern welding, tar making, silversmithing and woodworking using nails and hinges made by oneself. On top of it also included the making of a variety of different tools like hammers, axes, chisels, knives, and files. The yearlong course was done to gain a greater understanding of the most important craftmanship throughout human history. The inclusion of this course gave an overarching view into what the daily lives was like for those who created the tools used in every other craftsman’s workshop. As well as the items which constructed the farms and settlements who built the world into what we now know it today.

The seconded year consisted of practical archaeology with a course called ‘’Human, Nature, and Technology’’. The course centred around the Stone Age and the Neolithic Age with the primary focus on attempting to understand the difficulties of conjoining in larger groups of people. And the struggles of settling differences to build safer and better living conditions in a dangerous world. Elements included tanning hides, curing meats, butchering, working with flintstone tools, pottery, wool spinning, building skis, leatherwork and a variety of outdoor life and forest labour. This course helped shape a better understanding of our history before life of farming and settlement. To gain a greater view into how the nomads and tribes of our ancestries populated the lands outside of our roots in Africa. This course was a great help to understand the lives of those who founded the civilizations of the old world.

The third year was a continuation within the ‘’Human, Nature, and Technology’’ course. In it, V. C. Wahlström specialised in the making of birchbark canoes and technologies surrounding farm- and forest labour. The year consisted of the making of a birchbark canoe model based of historical findings throughout the northern Sweden, Finland, and Eastern Siberia going down to Mongolia and the northern parts of China. Alongside this was also the testing of varies processes in forming and softening birchbark grown in Russia and Scandinavia due to the bark from birch trees in Canada and the USA are of different kinds. Apart from this was also the making of specialised tools for farm life. This included wooden planes both standard and specialized such as croze planes and sun planes, rigs for filing small and larger timber saws going up to three feet in length, making barrels from a singular tree piece, making wooden screws for workbenches as well as the learning the methodology of constructing wagon wheels.
