Runes are a collection of early letters commonly used among a number of Germanic languages before being largely replaced by the Latin alphabet.
History[]
Runes were the favored writing system among the Vikings, and they used them to record things as well as for decoration. Inscribing a rune upon a weapon was believed to enhance its abilities.[1] Sometimes Vikings also tattooed runes upon themselves, as was the case with Valdis.[1]
