ᛈ ᛞ
Forn Saga
The Skald's trial demands a rune described as a "seed of a story"—a symbol teeming with untapped narrative possibilities.
Perthro (ᛈ) - The Rune of Mystery
Meaning: Enigma, fate, chance, the unknown—a secret waiting to be revealed.
What could be a more fitting foundation for storytelling than the essence of mystery itself? Perthro embodies the well of fate—a hidden truth yearning to be discovered. This rune dares the Skald not to retell a known tale but to unearth a saga concealed within the landscape. Through four photographs, the Skald can weave a narrative of discovery and exploration, unveiling the land's deepest and most elusive secrets.
Dagaz (ᛞ) - The Rune of Transformation
Meaning: Dawn, breakthrough, balance, new beginnings—a shift from darkness to light.
Dagaz serves as a beacon for storytellers, symbolizing the transformation that lies at the heart of every compelling tale. This rune challenges the Skald to capture a moment of change, where opposites collide and something new emerges. Through their narrative, the Skald can weave a tapestry of renewal, illustrating the journey from uncertainty to clarity, or chaos to harmony. It is a reminder that every story, just like every dawn, carries the promise of a new horizon.
"I speak of the journey, the self, and the sun's bright art.
Place my three stones in order to reveal the wisdom of the heart."

The path of the soul is not a line, but a spiral.
With every turn, we do not return to the same place,
but to a higher understanding of where we began.
