Längtan showcases the evolution of Lamashtu, enhancing their symphonic foundation with progressive elements. It continues the haunting saga of Joar and Eli, which begins in ancient Mesopotamia. As Eli encounters strange creatures, she embarks on a transformative journey alongside demons and Joar. This narrative aligns with Lamashtu’s dark themes, centered on the demon goddess Lamashtu—patroness of the malformed and the wicked. The story of Eli, connecting both Tro and Längtan, has been further developed in a Swedish fantasy novel, Eli, available in over 50 libraries across Sweden and the first of a planned trilogy. |
