The lost Norse runes are one of the foundations of magecraft. Mages have partially reproduced them, but they pale in comparison to the original ones from the Age of Gods.
|

[k]
|

|

＠Da Vinci

[charaFace B 25]

They can be chanted very quickly, which makes[sr]them very useful in a lot of situations.
|

|
||
|

For example, we used a whole bunch of them[sr]for [%1]'s Mystic Codes, like Gandr.

According to Norse myth, Odin made most of the world out of Ymir, with the exception of the runes.
|

[k]
|

|

＠Da Vinci
|
||
No, the runes were a different matter: Odin discovered them after offering up his own life. Their shapes contain the depths of the world itself.
|

I guess you could call them the pathways[sr]to truth that Odin discovered.

An excellent question. As you'll recall, Sigurd didn't come here to kill us; he came to steal the Paper Moon.
|

|

|

Why would he do that if he belonged to this Lostbelt?[sr]Simply put, he wouldn't. Never in a million years.
|
||
[k]
|

|

The only ones who would consider the Paper Moon a threat are the Crypters, especially now that they've lost Russia.
|

In which case, it makes sense to assume[sr]that he is one of the Crypters' Servants.

Correct. Once the Crypter realizes the Tree of Emptiness is in danger, we can be certain they will have some sort of response.

And when they do, that will be the perfect chance for us to take the Paper Moon back. Maybe I'm being a little overly optimistic here, but I'd say this plan is absolutely foolproof!

|

First things first: [bgm BGM_EVENT_71 0.1 0.7]the Norse mythology[sr]we know from Proper Human History.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Da Vinci
|
||
Scandinavia used to be home to all sorts of gods, giants, and other Mystics, just like the Age of Gods in other areas.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Da Vinci
|
||
But then in 1000 B.C., about three thousand years ago,[sr]Mt. Katla erupted...and Ragnarök began.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Da Vinci
|
||
It brought an end to that entire reality[line 2]essentially Scandinavia's own Age of Gods.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Da Vinci
|
||
The gods, the giants, even the Phantasmals in the region, along with all their myths and legends, were completely wiped out.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Goredolf
|
||
At least, that's the conventional[sr]wisdom in the mage community.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Mash
|
||
Ragnarök... The Twilight of the Gods... That was the conflict that brought an end to the gods in Norse mythology, right?
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Goredolf
|
||
That's right. Loki's mischief eventually begat all sorts of disasters, culminating with Muspel fire giants invading from Muspelheim, the land of flame.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Goredolf
|
||
In fact, what most believe to have been an enormous eruption from Mount Katla was actually the fire giants' invasion.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Goredolf
|
||
It's said that during Ragnarök, Odin was eaten by Fenrir, the great wolf of ruin, and that many gods died in a fearsome clash with the giants...
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Goredolf
|
||
...before Surtr, the Fiery King of Giants and ruler of Muspelheim, laid waste to all the land with his flaming sword.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Da Vinci
|
||
Yup. And once the gods and giants had[sr]vanished from Scandinavia, that was when[line 2]
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Mash
|
||
The Age of Humanity began... That was when most of the Mystic was lost, and civilization rapidly advanced...
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Fou
|
||
Fou fo.[sr]Fou fo, fo fou.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Da Vinci
|
||
Basically, yup.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Da Vinci
|
||
The idea that the reality texture covering the world disappeared along with Scandinavia's Age of Gods was more of a presumption, courtesy of mages from Proper Human History.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Da Vinci
|
||
That does differ a bit from regular historical records, though. The oldest known record we have of Mt. Katla erupting goes back to A.D. 930.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Da Vinci
|
||
There just aren't any records of what[sr]happened all the way back in 1000 B.C.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Goredolf
|
||
That tracks, if the entire texture was wiped out.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Goredolf
|
||
Again, conventional wisdom says that we only have bits and pieces left over now because of this entire texture disappearing.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Meunière
|
||
You really do love your conventional wisdom,[sr]don't you, Director?
|
||
[k]
|
||
|

＠Goredolf

Wh-what's wrong with that!? Many notable authorities support that theory! I'm told it's all but common knowledge in the Clock Tower's Archaeology Department...in the Meluastea faction, to be precise!

When you get right down to it,[sr]there's still a lot we don't know.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|

＠Da Vinci
|
||
In Proper Human History, we never did get the full picture of the Scandinavian Age of Gods, so all we have are a lot of vague guesses patched together from whatever small remnants we could find.

？！

[charaFace B 14]

One of the big questions we need to answer is, when did this Lostbelt diverge from Proper Human History!
|

[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Da Vinci
|
||
The other is, given the giants we've run into, we can be certain that it is still before the A.D. era, and that Age of Gods-level Mystics still exist, but we don't yet know why that is.
|
||
[k]
|

|

[charaFace B 24]

I bet it's because of all the magical energy intertwined with the ice and snow at a molecular level. I'm afraid it's also going to interfere with our long-range comms.

Alternatively, the ice and snow's magical energy could be completely controlling both this Lostbelt's mana and history.

Hahaha! Good, good! Very well then, as the expedition team, you will leave first thing tomorrow morning, at zero nine hundred!

While we're on the subject,[sr]let's talk about your current destination, too.

Though we don't know where Sigurd went after stealing the Paper Moon, we did detect a group of life-forms approximately one hundred and fifty kilometers northwest from the Border's current location.
|
||

|
||
|
||
＠Da Vinci
|
||
I'm hoping it's a village, even though[sr]there wasn't one there on the 2019 map...
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Da Vinci
|
||
Aaanyway, I think that'd be a good place to start asking around. I'll make sure to prepare some translation talismans before you leave, of course.

I wish I could do more to help you two. Under normal circumstances, I'd be right there with you in the Border...

But this is the best we can do right now.[sr]I'm sorry.

The Shadow Border still needs a lot of repair work to get it mobile again, and of course, Zero Sailing is currently out of the question.

Still, at least you won't have to worry about the Ortinax. I spent the last twenty hours going over the whole thing with a fine-tooth comb.

You shouldn't have to worry about it acting up after getting hit with a demonic sword anymore.

...For this mission,[sr]you two have three primary objectives.

|

First, take back the Paper Moon.[sr]Second, cut down the Tree of Emptiness.

And third, find a path to the North Sea. Of course, those last two are more for extra credit, but the first one is absolutely crucial!
