The White Horse of Vallebajo (Spanish)

A folk horror setting, written and illustrated by Tania Herrero, that tells the story of Vallebajo and its people. The White Beast, the Forest, and its creatures seek revenge.

Vallebajo lies where roads no longer matter, at the edge of the land where everything has been named by humankind. Bouquets of white flowers adorn several doorways, while the townspeople wear black in mourning. The Forest is a shadow in their eyes. The White Beast seeks revenge. It will not rest until it drags you all to the bottom of the lake.

The White Horse of Vallebajo is a system-independent folk horror setting, so you can play it with your favorite game, although it will shine with those that have a dark fantasy or folk horror theme, especially those in the OSR style.

It is ideal for Game Masters who enjoy the weight of player decisions without needing to guide or direct them, who prefer open-ended adventures where the gaming group can improvise and integrate the consequences of their characters' actions during the game.

Each page will be a source of inspiration for you, the reader. The illustrations are deeply evocative, and the descriptions aim to create an atmosphere that will help you shape this Forest and its inhabitants as you play, though nothing prevents you from preparing the story's hooks beforehand.

The first half introduces you to the history of Lower Valley and its people, as well as the mysteries surrounding this place. The middle pages explain everything related to the White Beast. Finally, in the second half, you'll find the most OSR-focused content, divided into fixed areas, random areas, and encounters. The different locations, characters, creatures, and events that adventurers will encounter once they venture into the Forest are explained in detail.

The Forest holds a secret; names have power, amulets, and silence; the tangled red thread keeps growing.

This is a series of publications that delve into Ryhope Forest. They will have a narrative and system-neutral approach so that each GM can easily adapt it. These will be original works, where the artist's personality takes center stage. Open its pages, think of Ryhope as a living, organic, and ever-changing entity, teeming with legends, creatures, and other characters.

Tania Herrero was awarded a Silver Ennie in 2025 for Crown of Salt, a setting compatible with Mörk Borg.
