Discover why the Allvaldughers decided to create humanity, and what they hoped to achieve.

Every Kutla is unique.

Carved from a single piece of wood, hollowed from beneath and strung according to the song it is meant to play, no two instruments can ever sound quite the same.

In this short story from Väruld, a Kutla maker shares his love for the craft — and his belief that when the strings begin to sing, it is the soul of the tree finally finding its voice.
