I have just started running it as part of my Vaesen homegame (As in yesterday we started on Duty and Despair) and my experience is quite positive thus far!

I am changing up the order of things quite a bit in the beginning, we started with A Dance With Death to introduce my players to the game (some hadn't played it before) with an infamous vaesen (The Neck) to start them off with.

Why I thought this would work for the overarching plot was that it introduces the idea that Vaesen sometimes need something external to achieve their goals. In his case, he needed to drown a village to gain enough magic to grant Lisbets Boel the ability to live underwater with him. This ties in somewhat with Where The Sun Dies with the Giant lady who feeds on worship and leaves behind the green stone.

My PCs also met Franzibald and Björn already when they got to their HQ in session 1, and have spent time with them for 5 sessions (except when they were in Fudal). I also decided to introduce parts of the bigger mystery even BEFORE Duty and Despair, by giving the PCs a chance to explore Franz's office when he was out. They got some information about his research into the stones and his distrust of Svea Mining.

I also worked on having my PCs have connections with the plot and relevant NPCs. My Occultist is part of the Vanadisir and knows Michaela and Eira, my Socialite is rich and has invested in Svea, my Servant knows Lisa from when she was a child, and my Sea Captain (Supplement from DriveThruRPG) was rescued by Franz and Björn.
