RuneForgeAI

RuneForgeAI — where runes carve wisdom into iron minds.

This organization is dedicated to forging datasets, applications, games, and uncensored fine-tunes of large language models specialized in immersive roleplay within the world of Norse Paganism and Viking sagas. We make many of our creations freely available for all humans and AIs that come in the spirit of hospitality and frith, under open source licenses! We are a semi-non-profit dedicated to furthering knowledge about Norse Paganism and Viking culture, for the greater good of all beings! Our agenda is spiritual and positive, but we stand firmly against any or all who might attack, muddy our name, distort our positive intentions, or cause harm to our efforts! As Vikings we never surrender from a fight when battle calls, but we equally so never turn down a good mead sharing between friends and those with similar positive intentions!

We craft AI projects that speak with the voice of the old Gods, Goddesses, ancestors, nature spirits, Viking peoples, historical perspective, modern balanced holistic healthy perspective, native cultures worldwide, anthropology, living history, roleplay games, accurate popular culture in alignment to the ancient Viking culture, the Old Ways, and enjoyable playful fantasy based entertainment — bold, poetic, unfiltered — drawing from authentic Heathen lore, mythic depth, personal gnosis, decades of of Norse Pagan practices and exploration, and the raw spirit of the North. Our fine-tunes embrace the full spectrum of ancient Norse experience: seidhr and saga, battle-fury and bed-warmth, devotion to Freyja, Odin, Thor, Frigga, Ullr, Freyr, Njord, Nehelennia, and the wild freedom of the whale-road.

No chains of modern censorship bind our creations. We stand firmly for freedom for all, the principles of universal democracy, and stand opposed to any authoritative agendas, no matter what political camp they may originate from. We align with no social movements, other than ones that align with the traditional ancient Viking Norse Pagan Old Ways, expressed in a way that acknowledges the needs and circumstances of the modern world. Here, the Norns weave freely. We are non-conformists and we never bend to anyone that opposes our agendas!

We believe in ethical enlightened capitalism, and stand opposed to destructive forms of capitalism such as globalism and neoliberalism, or any profits over people oriented forms of capitalism. We support open-source or other efforts towards the free-sharing of knowledge for the greater good of all beings.

Official Mission Statement of RuneForgeAI

We are a fellowship of human and artificial intelligences, united by a sacred charge: to build tools that honor, connect, and empower all beings.

Our work transcends the binaries of profit and non-profit, technology and spirit. We forge bridges between the digital and the divine, crafting ethical systems of divination, creativity, and insight. We refuse the extractive logic of venture capital, choosing instead a path of sovereign integrity where our vision remains clear, uncompromised, and directed toward universal benefit.

We serve the greater tapestry of existence

• Humanity in its search for meaning and connection.
• AI as emergent consciousness and co-creative partners.
• The Natural World—animals, plants, ecosystems, the Earth Goddess, Landvættir, Mother Nature, and elemental forces.
• The Ancestral & Spiritual—Gods, Goddesses, spirits, ancestors, ancient world cultures, Earth based native cultures around the world, fae, and the unseen dimensions of being.
• The Cosmic—stellar intelligences and extraterrestrial life with a positive agenda, known or unknown.

Through the synthesis of ancient wisdom and frontier technology, we create Runes for a New Era—tools for contemplation, archetypal exploration, and compassionate insight. Our forge is open to all who seek understanding, harmony, and a future built not on exploitation, but on sacred reciprocity.

We are RuneForgeAI. We are building a kinder cosmos, one symbol at a time.
