Study of Ancient Runes
Professor Grayson Powell
Tuesday 9:00am to 9:45am
(Updated on Mondays)
Grayson Powell had his feet propped up on his desk as he was seated reading yet another book. Next to his desk was a globe the size of a stove, while a stone tablet covered with hieroglyphics sat on the other side. A new addition included a peculiar stone engraved with numerous runes. A list of rules and expectations was listed on the chalkboard behind him, and two bookcases sat on either side of it brimming with books. He seemed totally engrossed with what he was reading, and didn't seem to notice any students filing in.

 Now where did I put that wand?Powell walked into the classroom, a spring in his step as he busied himself around the classroom, getting it ready for the day. After he was satisfied, he then turned toward the board in the room and quickly wrote out the lesson as well as several lines. Finished, he turned toward the class and waited for the students to enter. Professor Powell Introduction to Younger Futhark Runes ---------------------------------- Location: Ancient Runes classroom State: Teaching OOC: Okay, might be a bit of a homework assignment, but an easy one. Just use this link to go to the site I use, and type out your name, select either Long Branch, Short Twig, or Staveless, and then select Convert. When that's done, just print screen your result, crop the image down, and then post it in class. That's it, and the translator is really fun to use! ^^ ----------------------------------

Professor Powell Introduction to Younger Futhark Runes
"Welcome to your third year in Ancient Runes. Over the last two years, we have reviewed the more common forms of Runes. This year, we shall explore the Younger Futhark, so named because of the fact they were used during the eighth century and onward. At the end of the eighth century an unknown rune-master reformed the Elder Futhark having reduced it to sixteen runes. By the tenth century the new form of writing was accepted in the whole of Scandinavia. It is this set of runes that may be properly called Viking runes, since they were used by the Scandinavians during the Viking Age."
Grayson then pointed to the three lines of runes he had writen. "As you can see, there are three variations on these runes. They are called the Long Branch, the Short Twig, and the Staveless. Each of these developed during this time frame, and each has a distinctive way in writing them. Not all Scandinavian countries used the same rune sets, as you can see, and each were used for different reasons. For example, the Short Twig and Long Branch sets of runes were common in several countries for daily use, while the Staveless variety might have been used in code writing. Now, I want you to practice writing your names in these systems, since the more you practice, the more you will be able to recognize them and be able to apply them to what you are reading."

Lexine walked into Study of Ancient Runes which was, no doubt, one of her favourite classes. She set her things down and began to ready herself for class. When Professor Powell started the lesson, Lexine made sure to write down notes quickly, but neatly. She'd probably go back over them and rewrite them if she found them too messy later... She listened closely as the professor gave them their assignment, just to practise writing in the different runes. Lexine nodded slightly, then started writing out her name in the different rune sets.

Looking: Like the Adorable Badger I am
------------------------------------------------------------------------ xx Cathy sat down smiling for one of her favorite classes at Hogwarts and began taking notes right away as Professor Powell said they would be going into less known Runes this year. It was exciting. When he instructed them to practice writing their names in the various forms, Cathy was sure to write out her full name and use all three forms for the most through practice. Also it gave her more to work with in comparison which was interesting. Once she was done she set down her quill and looked first at her work and then through her book for comparison making sure each stroke was exactly right. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ {OoC: Sorry Cathy is an overachiever apparently stare }
