Rune translation:

“I am the Keeper of the Dead

I lead the souls of the deceased to the afterlife

or to their punisher

If you wish your loved one to live again, seek me

I will drag them back from the darkness

As payment for my deed

you must barter someone to fill the void"

“Who do you wish to be returned?

And what did he mean to you?

You must offer someone that matters to you.

Give me a soul unscathed.

Pure.

Unsullied.

Your unborn."
