# The rune workshop

A certificate of attendance and a word in runes. Mímir does not write more than that either.

Case file 12 · Proof and script

## Certificate of attendance

Everyone who has visited this page has attended the thing. That is more than most can say. Enter your name and receive a certificate with date, case number and Gudrun's stamp.

**Signed quantum-safe.** The thing signs every certificate with ML-DSA-65, the new standard that holds even against a quantum computer. The signature appears below the certificate, and you can check it yourself or try to forge it.

## Write in runes

Younger Futhark, as on the Jelling Stone: 16 characters for the whole language, so k and g share a sign, and d becomes t. Mímir writes like this. That is why there is only one word.

**What we actually know**

The Younger Futhark (c. 800–1100) has only 16 signs, so Vikings wrote _k_ and _g_ with the same rune, likewise _t_ and _d_, and often dropped nasals before consonants. The tool here follows those rules, but it cannot reproduce period pronunciation – it transliterates modern spelling, which no Viking-age carver would have done. It is a game, not a transliteration.
