Berserk
Enchantment
Duration: 1 battle.
Target: 1 weapon
Materials: The weapon to be enchanted.
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Specifications: The users name and instance of battle must be carved with the rune.
A weapon enchanted with the berserk rune grants its wielder damage reduction of 2 per the runecasters level/-, and +1 to attack and damage rolls.

Odins Eye
Divination
Duration: 1 hour.
Target: 1 person.
Materials: A piece old growth Oak.
Saving Throw: None.
Spell Resistance: No.
When this Rune is activate the recipient gains True Sight for One Hour, usable once a day.
You confer on the subject the ability to see all things as they actually are. The subject sees through normal and magical darkness, notices secret doors hidden by magic, sees the exact locations of creatures or objects under blur or displacement effects, sees invisible creatures or objects normally, sees through illusions, and sees the true form of polymorphed, changed, or transmuted things. Further, the subject can focus its vision to see into the Ethereal Plane (but not into extradimensional spaces). The range of true seeing conferred is 120 feet.
True seeing, however, does not penetrate solid objects. It in no way confers X-ray vision or its equivalent. It does not negate concealment, including that caused by fog and the like. True seeing does not help the viewer see through mundane disguises, spot creatures who are simply hiding, or notice secret doors hidden by mundane means. In addition, the spell effects cannot be further enhanced with known magic, so one cannot use true seeing through a crystal ball or in conjunction with clairaudience/clairvoyance.

Ar
Good Harvest. One rune is good for several acres and will double the harvest for one season.

Sea
Enchantment
Duration: By part of ship. Oars: until lost or broken (though lost and broken oars can be replaced). Prow or Rudder: until broken (impossible to repair).
Target: 1 ship.
Materials: The oars, prow, and rudder of the ship.
Saving Throw: None.
Spell Resistance: No.
Sea runes do not stack with themselves.

Magic Spear 'EljJurns'
This Spear is one of the walking staves of the preists of Odin. It is also the Preists weapon for battle. Rota has also discovered it is a Bane Weapon for Frost Giants.

Magic Spear Gungnir
Gorn Greymane's Spear is magical, and his Holy Symbol of Odin. Odin is here represented with his symbolic animals, the wolves Geri and Freki and the ravens Hugin and Munin.
His spear Gungnir, symbol of his magical will, points skyward from the seat of his mind and his beard frames the ring Draupnir. The runic inscription reads "asau wija." This spear is a Holy Weapon it is normally only +1, but in the hands of a devote follower of Odin it is +2. When facnig the enemies of Valhalla, the Giants and others if they are enemies of Valhalla, it does double damage. Normal damage is 1d10, but it is not a long spear. The spear can also act as an extension of preistly power for some.


Agimundr *Fearsome Protector
-Glow when within range of threatening archers.
-The Sword is a +2 weapon, +4 against Giants.
-The Weilder may go Berserk: damage reduction 12/-, +1 to attack, and +1 damage.

Description:
Rota has a thick cascade of fine, straight, blond hair framing an angelic face. She has large, innocent, dreamy looking gray blue eyes and snowy white skin. She is tall and slender and graceful. She seems to move most of the time as though she were living in a dream too - slowly, fluidly, and gracefully.

Background: Rota comes from a large farm at the border of a small village just a few days North of ____(wherever we started from). Shes the oldest of nine daughters and since there were no sons in the family the daughters shouldered their share of farmwork just as soon as they came of an acceptable age about 7 years. Rota, as the oldest, worked on the farm from dusk until sundown, helped in the household chores and in the cooking, feeding, sewing, and raising of her eight younger sisters in the evening. She took her responsibility as the oldest daughter very seriously and tried to set a good example of a dutiful woman of the house for her sisters and work as hard for her father as if she were a son.

Most of her farm duties were tending to the horses and dogs they bred - seeing to their feeding, watering, brushing, excercising, and training.

Shes one of those girls that are a little too much into horses. In fact, she'd be perfectly happy moving herself into the stables and dedicating all her time to the horses if this were acceptable behavior. Shes got lots of riding experience, and shes been in a few skirmishes in defense of her animals with wolves and other predators. But shes been having dreams and hallucinations that feature an unnaturally white cloth with a silhouette of a black raven. Sometimes the black raven has been dripping blood, other times its wings are spread as if soaring.

Her parents are religious fanatics and so have sent her off with their blessings after giving her as many supplies for a quest as they could spare.

She has heeded her vision and has arrived just in time to hear the announcement. She's tied up her horse outside the longhouse...leaving all her wordly possesions sitting out in the open for any thief to take. You certainly wouldn't call her street smart. In fact, with almost any dealings in the 'real world' she hasn't got a clue.


Recitation (+2/+3 attacks/saves, enemies -2)

*This armor is exquisitly created and is of exceptional beauty. Treat this armor as +5 Masterwork +5 Mythril Full Plate (Armor Bonus: +13, Max Dex Bonus: +3, Armor Check Penalty: -3, Spell Failure: 0%, Speed: No speed penalty, Weight 25lb). The armor also grants the Valkyrie one extra 1st through 4th level spell and prevents critical hits (As if having fortification). This armor is created specifically for the Valkyrie and cannot be resized for any other charcters. If another character can wear the divine armor, it is treated as normal full plate.

Positive Meaning: Flow, water, sea, a fertility source, the healing power of renewal. Life energy and organic growth. Imagination and psychic matters. Dreams, fantasies, mysteries, the unknown, the hidden, the deep, the underworld. Success in travel or acquisition, but with the possibility of loss.
Negative Meaning: An indication of a period of confusion in your life. You may be making wrong decisions and poor judgments. Lack of creativity and feelings of being in a rut. Fear, circular motion, avoidance, withering. Madness, obsession, despair, perversity, sickness, suicide.
Magical Effects
Beneficial: A character under the beneficial effects of this rune gains a runic bonus of 2d8 + caster’s Wisdom bonus in temporary Hit Points. All of these temporary Hit Points are lost before the target begins losing any of his own.
Baneful: Vital energy leaves the target at an extraordinary rate. He takes double damage from every blow that lands while under the influence of this rune.

Magical Effects
Beneficial: This rune provides added security to those targeted by its beneficial effects. It creates a shield that extends in all directions for a radius of up to one foot per Caster level. This shield will absorb 1d4 hit points of damage per Caster level before it is destroyed. All damage dealt to the character prior to the shields collapse is absorbed by the shield instead. Once it falls, any damage in excess of the amount required to knock it down is inflicted on the caster. While inside the shield, the character may fight back, but opponents outside must be attacked with ranged weapons. Those inside the range of the shield may ignore it, but they cannot enter within its walls once it has been erected until it is knocked down. The caster may include other characters within the range of the shield, but they suffer from the same restrictions, and if they leave the safety of it, they cannot return until it is dispelled. The caster cannot leave the radius of the shield because it
is centered upon him. The shield remains centered on the caster until destroyed or willed away.
Baneful: A target creature is treated as though under the effects of extreme cold or extreme heat (caster’s choice). He suffers the full effects as though actually assaulted by the condition in question.

Magical Effects

Baneful: A character targeted for negative effects suffers a runic penalty to his AC equal to 1 + the Constitution Bonus of the caster.
Save: Will negates
Duration: 1 round/Caster level

Baneful: This rune can be used to negatively impact the relationship of others. Characters targeted by it suffer a -4 runic penalty to Charisma and must make a Charisma check to convince friends and family to do much of anything. The character has a difficult time making others listen to him.

Baneful: Characters suffering the baneful effects of this rune have difficulty making decisions. Every round, the character must make a Will save to act. If he fails, the character will stand confused about what he should do next. The character will defend himself if attacked, gaining all armor and Dexterity bonuses, but he will not counter attack without making a successful Will save. When this rune is first cast, the character saves to resist. If he succeeds, the rune has no effect. If the character fails, he must save every round as described above. Making the saving throw in one round does not prevent him from having to do so again. The rune affects the character for the entire duration if the initial saving throw is not made. Further, if that initial Will save is not made, the character is automatically confused that round.
Save: Special, see description
Duration: 5 rounds + 1 round/Caster level.

Negative Meaning: Addiction, stagnation, loneliness, malaise.
Magical Effects
Beneficial: The caster may use this rune to gain specific information about what the right thing to do is or to gain a general vision. With the former, the caster may ask the GM one specific question. The GM is bound to answer truthfully, but unless the question is yes/no, he may be as vague as he likes. Alternatively, the caster can ask for a vision. Like all visions, it is filled with metaphors that must be deciphered for it to make sense.
Baneful: Targets of this effect become addicted to the pleasures of life. The character becomes overly interested in money, food, drink and women. Whenever he becomes confronted with these temptations, he must make a Will save, DC 10 + Wisdom bonus of caster + Caster level. If it is failed, he overindulges until sated (has as much money as he can carry, is absolutely stuffed, etc.). The character will do this at the expense of whatever he should be working on at the moment and to the exclusion of his friends. The target will defend himself if attacked but will not otherwise participate in activities that interfere with his pleasure. The only way to remove the effects of this rune is through a Remove Curse spell.
Save: Will negates
Duration: Beneficial – Instantaneous; Baneful – Permanent
