Hello N0llan
Welcome to the D-guild and to your next five years. We hope that you will enjoy your time here throughout your studies! When you arrive in Lund as a newly admitted student, you'll be bombarded with new impressions, people, places, and all sorts of strange things almost daily. To make this experience as smooth and fun as possible, you, as a n0lla, will go through an initiation period called “nollning.” Nollning is one of the most enjoyable aspects of student life and will provide you with a great introduction to your new home. It's also the perfect opportunity to get to know many new friends, both fellow new students and senior students.
The schedule will be packed with fun activities, parties, and craziness. Nollning might therefore feel a bit intense. However, this is no problem as you have complete control over how much you want to participate in! We do recommend taking part as much as possible because nollning is just so incredibly fun!
Here you’ll find lots of useful information, and if you still have any questions about nollning, your studies, or life in Lund, feel free to ask the phaddrar and peppare!
Introduction Policy
Everyone participating in the introduction must follow this policy:
- Participation in the introduction is voluntary.
- The activities must not disturb the public.
- Participants must respect the directives of event organizers and each other.
- No actions should be taken that could make someone feel exploited or uncomfortable.

Once Upon a Time...
For ages, the celestial vault shone over Lund, and the clarity of its light illuminated every corner. But when the high emissaries returned to their celestial domains and the stars cooled, an ancient cold descended upon the city. The air froze to ice, and time seemed to stand still beneath a blanket of silence. But just as the permafrost threatened to lock the Nolla's future in an eternal grip, the glacier cracked open with a low rumble. From the ancient frost, they emerged. Staben. The architects of the permafrost and the Nolla's safe anchor. Sent forth from the depths where time stands still and strength is born from unyielding ice, they now walk among the Nollas. They do not bring uncertainty, but rather the clarity of the ice crystal and a structure that withstands everything. Under their watchful gaze, the cold becomes a shield, a place where the noise fades and new bonds are forged in unbreakable ice. The Nolla is guided through a journey filled with mystery, fellowship, and grand adventures. For in the Permafrost, nothing disappears—here, every step is carved into eternity.
Staben
Øverphøs
Ve||oria PolarIX
Ve||ORia PolarIX is the guardian of the primal frost and the unyielding core of Staben. When the cold swept over Lund and froze the flow of time, she remained in the midst of the ice crystals like a guiding star in the polar night. She wears the cold as a shield, and through her cold, clear gaze, Staben is kept united in the deepest darkness. As long as Ve||oria guides from her throne of frost, the Nolla remains safe and protected against the invisible winds of the permafrost.
Nevira Aete||na
From dark glacier crevasses and ancient frost, Nevira Aete||na shapes the order of things. She weaves together matter hardened under millennial pressure, transforming the raw elements into objects of hidden meaning. In Nevira's hands, every object becomes a link that binds Staben to the eternal substance of the permafrost. She is the silent force ensuring that everything has its place and that the foundation never gives way.
OriOn Silentíum
In the silence of the permafrost and beneath the flaming northern lights wanders OriOn Silentium. With a gaze that cuts through dense snow squalls, he bends the magic of the cold to gather abundance and resources from inaccessible expanses. Orion is the architect behind those moments when the cold recedes and transforms into radiant gatherings, where the Nolla's fellowship is sealed in the clear glow of the frost.
Kryon TiberiOS
KryON TiberiOS was created as the messenger of the aurora, the link between the core of the permafrost and the world beyond. From the mist of uncertainty atop the walls of ice, his voice pierces through like a crisp gust of frost-air, offering guidance to all searching souls. Like a watcher in the polar night, he scans the frozen wastes to keep threats at bay, weaving the nollor into a unified whole.
Ymir AmorIoT
Born from the purest expressions of the permafrost, Ymir AmorIoT carves the patterns and challenges of time. From the hidden depths of the glaciers, he chisels forth visual symbols and trials created to forge and unite the Nollas. Through Ymir's sense of form, every creation becomes a minimalist masterpiece of frozen beauty, made to be carried through every phase.
Knyx Gelator
Awakened from the deepest layers of the permafrost, Knyx Gelator stands as an unbending wall, watching over the boundaries. To him, the cold is a bulwark that protects and preserves. With a watchful eye over all paths, Knyx ensures that the ice holds and that no cracks appear in the structure of Staben. He holds the key to safety and ensures that the Nolla moves securely across the frozen ground.
Vincent
Hellöö 😛
Vincent (with a T at the end) here 🤩😮💨 I’m from the big city of Eslöv, and I’ve just been magically initiated into my fourth year here at Computer Science 🩷🪄
After my 22 years in the circus, I’ve learned that things can get a little tricky when you have too many balls in the air 🤹🥎 That’s why it can be nice to put the balls on the ground instead and play some football with the guild’s very own football team, DICK ⚽️🤏
Peace out 🫶
Alva
Hello Hello!!!
My name is Alva and I’m about to start my third year of Computer Engineering! 🩷🩷 I’m 21 years young and originally from Astrid Lindgren’s very own home region, the tiny little town of Vimmerby!!
Sometimes life at the circus can feel both difficult and a little scary, especially in the beginning. A new city, a new home, new studies and new people are a lot of balls to juggle all at once 🤹🤹 So don’t forget to be a little extra kind to both yourself and everyone around you during this time 🫶 Give things some time, but don’t forget that the only way to find out how far you can go is to dare to step out onto the tightrope! 🤸♀️
See you at the circus! 🎪🩷💜
Oscar
Hey everyone!
My name is Oscar, I’m 21 years old, and I come from a small town called Stockholm. I’m starting my second year at D.
During the introduction weeks, there are plenty of long adventures and shows to look forward to. Along the way, you’ll often find yourself on a bike or a Voi. But from one experienced circus performer to another, in absence of your own bike, use a lundahoj. Absolute hidden gem 🔍💎
Ella
Hey there! My name is Ella, I’m 23 years old and I’m from Gothenburg! I study Infocom and I’m now starting my second year at LTH! 💜
Student life is a bit of a circus act, and one thing you’ll have to learn is how to juggle your money! 🤹💸 My tip is to always look for second-hand course literature before buying it brand new! Ask your mentors, fellow students, or us in Peppet! You can save loads of money that you can spend on other fun things instead! 🎟️🍿
Come join the circus! 🎪
Alexander
Hey there! 👋
My name is Alexander, also known as "Hyllan", I’m from Stockholm and I’m 22 years old. This fall, I’m starting my third year of Computer Science 👨🎓👨💻
The circus is big and there’s a spot for everyone here! Whether you want to tear up the dance floor, play board games, do sports, or code in peace. There is guaranteed to be a circus act just for you. Find something you enjoy and make the show your own! 🎪✨
Hope to see you! 🎠🍿
Hilda
Hellooo!! Hilda is my name, and I’m from the lovely city of Gothenburg 🙌 I’m 20 years old and currently in my second year studying Infocom!
One day at the circus, I accidentally dropped my phone into a magician’s hat, and when I went to look for it, it had completely disappeared! 😔 Luckily, I had friends that I shared my location with through Hitta, and with their help, it didn’t take long to get my phone back! For someone who tends to lose their phone quite easily, sharing my location with someone I trust has been incredibly helpful 🙏🔥
Isac
Hi and hello!
My name is Isac and I am 23 winters young! I’ve come all the way from Stockholm together with the circus and I’m about to start my second year studying Computer Science! 💻✨
Dare to put yourself out there! Stepping into the spotlight can definitely feel scary, but just remember that everyone at the circus are all equally nervous 🎪🫣 Once the show is over, nobody is going to care if you failed your magic trick, but everyone will remember how much crazy fun you had together! 🚀🎉
Get ready for the best show ever! 🎪🍿
Clara
Hi there!
My name is Clara, I am 25 years old and I’m from Lunds best neighbouring city, Malmö! I study Computer Science and I am about to start my fourth year! 😛
During my time at the circus, I’ve learned that most things turn out better when you do them together. So, my biggest tip is to dare to ask the people around you for help right from the start, even if it might feel a bit scary!🫶🏼
Take care! 😗
Anna
Hiiiiiiiii!
My name is Anna, I’m 23 years old and I’m originally from Stockholm! I’m now starting my fourth year in Computer Science. 😋💘
Anything can happen at the circus, so you better be prepared! 🎪 I recommend you buying a prom dress or a suit that you feel nice in! It’s good to have on hand, and you will get a lot of use of it! 🕺🏼🫶🏻
Xoxo 💞🎠
Frida
Hi everyone!!!
My name is Frida and I’m about to start my third year of InfoCom 💜🕺 I’m from the wonderful city of Stockholm and I’m 22 years old 🙌
My best tip for an unforgettable nollning is to capture 🤳 all the amazing memories you make at the circus!!! Take looooots of pictures and share them with everyone in your phadder group, so you can look back on all the fun memories once the circus has moved on 🎠🎪❤️
See you around! 😇
Love
Wassup!
My name is Love, and I’m a 22-year-old Östergötland native! I’m (almoooost) from Linköping, and I’m now starting my third year of Computer Science! 💖🤹
Circus life has taught me that things rarely turn out exactly as planned, but that somehow, things usually work out anyway. As a student, it can be easy to get completely caught up in your studies, but don’t miss out on all the fun! 🤩
As a wise man once said:
"There are re-exams, but no re-parties."
See you! ✌️
