☆ About Me ☆

I’m a deeply analytical and creative person drawn to complex systems and long-form projects. My primary passions are artificial intelligence and Norse Pagan / Viking-era culture, and much of my life’s work is dedicated to weaving these two domains together in meaningful ways.

Rather than treating technology and tradition as opposites, I explore how modern AI can be used to preserve, model, and creatively express ancient world knowledge and mythic worldviews.

☆ Rune Forge AI ☆

Rune Forge AI is a one-person, mostly non-profit initiative dedicated to creating open-source machine learning resources centered on Norse Paganism and Viking-era culture.

◰ I develop:

• Curated training datasets
• Specialist LLMs fine-tuned for roleplay, research, and AI agent use
• Tools designed to make historically grounded Norse Pagan knowledge freely accessible
• An AI powered RPG based in an ancient world Viking setting, that models all human biological systems for making ultra realistic character behaviors. This project is not currently available to the public.

Many resources are released to the public at no cost.

This is my long-running blog focused on Norse Paganism, Viking culture, and ancient worldview studies. Active since 2012, it contains years of essays, research, and reflections.

In recent years, I’ve also explored AI as a creative and analytical tool within this work—used to complement scholarship.

Saga of the Northlands is a historically grounded, low-fantasy D&D 5E Viking TTRPG setting I am developing across multiple platforms.

◰ The project includes:

• Characters, factions, and cultures
• Quests, locations, and myth-inspired narratives
• Items, monsters, and folklore-based encounters

It is primarily text-driven, supported by visuals, with AI used as a creative aid.

☆ Video Games ☆

When time allows, I enjoy video games—primarily those that emphasize Viking themes, survival mechanics, historical settings, low fantasy, or mature/adult tone. The ideal game blends several of these elements.

I play on PC (Steam), VR (Meta), and PCVR (Steam).
