Old Norse Character is a term used to describe characters from Norse mythology, which is an ancient set of stories and beliefs originating from Northern Europe. The term can also refer to characters from the Viking Age, which was a period of Scandinavian expansion and exploration that lasted from the 8th to 11th centuries. One example of an Old Norse character is RUNE, a four-letter word which refers to a type of letter or symbol used in writing during the Viking Age. Runes were believed to have magical properties, and were often used in divination and spellcasting.
