The setting
The setting in the album was created a long time ago for a series of Swedish role playing game (RPG) adventures and novels written by Erik Granström. Christian played the RPG as a kid and picked up the name Svavelvinter, which is the title of the first RPG adventure as well as the first novel in the series. The renaissance fantasy land Trachoria invades the polar island Marjura to gain control of it's sulphur marshes, setting in motion all kinds of bad things.

All the songs on Mörkrets tid are set on Marjura, picturing scenes, creatures and moods from the novels, while the next Svavelvinter album probably will move to Trachoria proper.
