Norse Grimoireis a 5th Edition supplement, designed to integrateGaldrastafir(Icelandic magical staves) and theElder Futhark(the alphabet of the Runes of Knowledge) in your game sessions and campaigns.

This Grimoire is the follow-up to our work and research that started almost 20 years ago, which has given life to theJourney To Ragnarokproject, our first Kickstarter campaign. WithNorse Grimoireyou can improve yourJourney To Ragnaroksessions and setting, but you can also power up characters or worlds from any setting you like.

Our goal is to enhance both the Adventurers and the Players' experience, adding game options and trying to transmit an ancient culture that we love.

To better understand Icelandic staves and the Runes, we decided to focus our research on ancient sources. Poetic and Prose Edda, along with Runic Poems, led our way on the path shaped by Odhinn in his journey through the Nine Worlds. For Icelandic symbols, we browsed through the pages ofauthentic grimoiresfilled with cryptic runes and staves, whose Norse echoes, sometimes bounded to continental magic, Middle Age esoteric or alchemical doctrine, unveiling a meaningful world permeated by magic.
