Hello, I have another question of the week, can you imagine tellad urr the terrible reborn and reincarnated as tellad and is now an athletic troll, good muscles, friendly, affectionate and eats healthily and is able to be through the day without problems?
Before;
After;
I'm not sure if that would be possible, since all past Trollhunter's souls reside within the void.
If rebirth is a concept for trolls, then that would require Tellad Urr to leave the void, as his spirit cannot be reincarnated otherwise.
Regardless, your drawings are very cute! And for Tellad Urr especially living a trouble free life would greatly appeal to him.

Four ceremonial amber amulets: egg shape with perforation; bear with eyes, mouth, tail and hind legs omitted; tablet-shaped pendant, corner with perforation; horse or elk head, eye and mouth not indicated, perforation at base of neck.
The bear comes from a bog in Resen, Viborg, Jutland, Denmark; the elk's head from Egemarke, Holbaej, West Zealand, Denmark. They are dated by fine incised and drilled bit ornament. There are indications that the patterns were incised with different points, at different times, and that the pits were made by rotating a bow-drill.
Copenhagen: Mus., Nationalmuseet.
Probably from an unrecorded mastaba in the Old Kingdom cemetery, Sakkara,.between 9000-5000 BC

Mini Sequel to The Heretic WIP
Spoilers for The Heretic below
..............................................................................................................................
Armored fingers folded over into loose fists; Solas set his weight into the gold flecked mural and leaned in. “I must leave you, Vhenan.”
He pressed his head against the cooling surface, “I am sorry.” His eyes squeezing shut and his mouth twisted into a grimace as regret stained his tongue in the aftermath of those words.
“Rest assured, I will find her and I--” The breath shivered in his throat, “—will right these wrongs.”
Reluctantly, Solas withdrew. His hand relaxing into an open palm as it swept down gently caressing the fresco before him.
“One day you will understand.”
With his shoulders slumped he turned from the wall, his gaze trespassing over a fluid barrier encompassing a Dawnstone casket. From his cloak, he produced a small bundle cushioned in cloth of gold and stepped into the barrier.
The portrait of a woman painted behind him shimmered in metallic hues, the twinkling eyes chaperoned by false light and diaphanous powder. Six violet amethysts crushed into submission and subjected into the landscape of a grieving man’s regret. Mother of pearl pressed into porcelain-snow skin, and obsidian stroked into ribbons of midnight-colored locks. Gold-leaf adorned her neck in ringlets, lavishing even more opulence upon the figure.
His shadow lengthened with each step and those carefully constructed eyes followed his form as he approached the casket in the center of the room.
The Dread Wolf bent humbly at the lip of the crystal casket, his fingers teasing the string of the bundle free, the fabric hissing like serpents against his metal hands. The luminous material swooned over his fingers and lying in the center was the Jawbone amulet.
He plucked it from the deflated fabric, and it dangled over the edge, frothing whisps unfurling from the opening just below. With a single whisper, he ushered the surface to divide and recede.
Solas held the cord with his other hand and placed the amulet on the still chest of someone lost, delicately curling the cord around her neck. His voice, an entanglement of sorrow, now victim to the sight below him, willed his lips to move, “I will return her to you,” and a single tear plummeted into a familiar face.
Just feeling those Solavellan feels tonight.

Such medieval "reliquaries" — containers or shrines for the bones or other relics of saints. This pendant is a phylactery — a type of amulet — that housed saintly relics and was supposed to give protection to those who wore it
The Garbage pit it was found is in a court at a noble palace that dated from the High Baroque period in the early 17th century. Though it contained mostly pottery, the pendant was found in a layer of the pit that dated to the 14th century.
Pendant's distinctive artistic style of the pendant suggests that it dates to the 12th century, and that it was already old when it was thrown away.Probably crafted in the workshop near the city of Hanover, about 175 miles north of Mainz, that is known to have made similar objects.

It's great to be able to show that runes were being carved in the Netherlands. This is one of the 23 currently known Frisian rune findings: the Westeremden (a location in the North-East of the Netherlands) yew stick, found in 1918 and dated 5th-8th century.
It can be seen in the Groninger Museum.
Made of Yew (Dutch: Taxus, or IJf) which is not a tree that generally could be found in this area. The inscription reads like a blessing or spell for luck/happiness. To me, this is Frisian galðr:
ophæmujiBAdaæmluþ
wimœBæhþuSA
iwioKuPdunale:
(Source: de Gruyter.)
Elmar Seebold (in 1990) reads:
ophæmu givëda æmluþ:
iwi ok upduna (a)le
wimôv æh þusë
Tineke Looijenga (in 1997) reads:
op hæmu jibada æmluþ :
iwi ok up duna (a)le
wimœd æh þusa
(Source)
Interpreted as something like:
luck (amluþ) stays (gibada) at home (op hæmu);
and (ok) at the yew (iwi) may it grow (ale) on the hill (up duna);
Wimœd has (æh) this (þusa)
Modern Frisians translate it into:
op de boerderij (heem) blijft voorspoed;
laat het groeien bij de ijf (taxus) op de terp;
dit is (eigendom) van Wimoed
(Source.)
Interestingly, this 5th-8th century Frisian Futhorc differs slightly from the more commonly known elder Futhark. (Context: the Elder Futhark in the Scandinavian areas transitioned towards the Younger Futhark in the 7th-8th century).
Here are a few interpretations by different writers:
By Parsons.
By Grimmsma.
By Terpen en Wierdenland.
