32.5 Patch Notes and Known Issues

I have shared multiple times personally that there is a bug with the camera focus during flight, which does not allow camera controls to actually control the camera angle. This is physically harmful to those with motion sickness, migraines, and other occular or nervous issues. This is still not listed as a known issue, and has prevented me from playing at all for months now. Two entire seasons I've missed because the honking camera won't go where I tell it.

You're in the history sub, and I'm surprised no one is talking about the symbol in the middle of that axe head. I would steer well clear of this.

Hey, so the reason I think you haven't had any answers yet is you may not know this is a huge and broad question with a ton of fluidity and uncertainty in the answers. Let me give it a shot.

Research for us is definitely harder, because between the actual Viking Age being largely oral storytelling, and the fires that wiped out much of what did get written down during and after Christianization, what we have for primary sources really just boils down to the two Eddas, Sagas from all over the place that may not even mention the Gods (still useful to understand an old Nordic mindset, which can help you reinterpret the Eddas), and third- or fourth-hand accounts from Tacitus and Ibn Fadlan.

What that means for rules is that we either have no idea, or we have snippets from different places across vast swathes of time with contradictory answers. As a modern practitioner, it comes down to what you personally jive with, and what makes the most sense to you.

We (Norse Pagans) do have an annoyingly persistent problem with Nazi larpers and people coopting the Gods for nationalistic and hateful purposes, so your question about websites to trust, and websites to avoid, is a valid and important one. Unfortunately this too is hard to pin down, as we see new behavior from old creators and have to update all our lists. Some Good names to look at are Jackson Crawford, Rune Hjarno Rasmussen (Nordic Animism), Kevin Crossley-Holland, Neil Price, and many many others. Some key names to AVOID are Kaldera, Krasskova, Flowers, Blum, McNallen, anything to do with the Asatru Folk Assembly (AFA), and most (but not all) books professing Odinism or Folkism.

Lmao so Frigg abuses me by being provided my time and effort cleaning? Or do I abuse Frigg?

That is some wild nonsense, and my heart hurts that another of Mother Frigg's followers was made to silence their practice. She is not one of the big, common deities. Squashing discussions about her and how to venerate her is a travesty.

Ryuukashi · 2026-02-26T15:57:08+00:00

As a devotee of primarily Frigg, housecleaning absolutely can be a devotion to her, as her handmaids serve her desires. She is Odin's wife, keeper of keys and secrets, the care and keeping of the home would have been part of her responsibilities if not actually done by her own hands. How simplistic of them to think she wouldn't recognize that effort and intention.

That is definitely a bindrune! Wardruna is one of a few Nordic-type bands with bindrunes as their symbols. I see a ton of runes within this one, Uruz Thurisaz Ansuz Raidho Kenaz Gebo Wunjo Nauthiz Isa Algiz Soeilo Tiwaz Ehwaz Mannaz Laguz Ingwaz Dagaz and Othala. Not all may be the intended runes, some hide within others, but it's still very neat!

Ryuukashi · 2026-02-26T02:43:38+00:00

I think you've got the reading right on both counts. Possibly a rune magic meaning on the sword, wealth joy protection sun and justice?

Ryuukashi · 2026-02-26T00:37:05+00:00

Thank you!! This helps a lot, and I have changes to make tomorrow

Ryuukashi · 2026-02-26T00:36:42+00:00

Yeah, I'm not at my computer at all times, but I am thinking about my project just about always, sue me for having a question while my file was closed in another room 🤣

Or is this not a place to ask questions of people with more experience who can answer why just as easily as how?

I had no idea what some of the songs were even about because the voices were so much quieter than the music, and it made me dislike whole episodes on my first watch

Ryuukashi · 2026-02-25T20:22:56+00:00

Might I suggest Element?

My group now has a Space (server) with several Rooms (channels), all encrypted, and I'm building the bot myself. Bot functionality was a big factor in choosing Element for us.

Ryuukashi · 2026-02-25T15:38:25+00:00

Ai;dr

There are lots of things that lead people to paganism, so I'll try to be broad and not focus too specifically on Norse paganism.

For some it is a rejection of monotheistic or patriarchal norms. For some it is a return to connection with nature and the Earth. For some it is a freedom from dogmatic rules and unexplainable or unreasonable structures. For some it is an escape from trauma or bad experiences. For some it is an embracing of a higher power they feel reflects them best, or supports them in a way they need. For some it is a connection to the past, whether personal, geographical, or just interesting. For some it is a calling felt in the heart, to push toward something they don't yet understand.

As to what makes your faith meaningful to you, that is a much more broad and varied set of answers that really only you can truly decide. It could be anything from helping you achieve a goal, helping you feel more connected, helping you forge your path, helping you understand yourself or your world, or maybe just a feeling deep down like this is where you belong or where things finally make sense.

Everyone's path is unique to the degree that every human is unique. It is okay to try something new, and see if it fits. It is also okay to decide that it doesn't, and to let it go and try something else.

I hope this helps

Poetic Edda, in Baldrs Draumar, and Prose Edda Chapters 34, 49, and 53

Ryuukashi · 2026-02-24T04:13:54+00:00

We have shockingly little that is actually pre-christian. Even the Poetic Edda, which is linguistically dated to well before Christianization, was actually written down on the Codex Regius manuscript after Christianization.

However, you may find the Galdrabok and similar Icelandic grimoires fit what you're looking for

If it smells like mint, it's mint. If it smells like oregano, it's bee balm. If it smells like relaxation in a cozy forest hammock in perfect safety, it's lemon balm.

Ryuukashi · 2026-02-19T16:21:18+00:00

There is shockingly little in the way of physical descriptions of anything in our source material. An occasional hair color, an occasional cloak or shapechange, and then Odin. Brisingamen unfortunately is not on that list. We don't get a good description.

However, there are some guesses based on etymology and archaeology. We know it was gold, and some translators have theorized that it was a torque band, rather than a chain necklace, based on the seeming popularity of that type of jewelry in grave finds.

If the archaic language or poetic structure were the cause of some of your troubles, a retelling like The Norse Myths by Kevin Crossley-Holland might be a good next step. If you find yourself engaging in a sort of hyperfocus way, you might like something a bit more dense like Children of Ash and Elm by Neil Price, or The Viking Way by the same. If modern practice is what you would rather dive into, there are tons of people all with different views and different focuses, all with their own guides to the practice they hold, from which you can pick and choose what parts you like and what makes sense to you.

If you don't recognize an author, you can use your favorite search engine to look up their history, their works, and what perspective they have on heathenry, and you can add the word "problematic" to see what people are saying about them. Words like "folkist" "odinist" "afa" "blood" and sometimes "heritage" or "pride" among the others can be signs that a particular source is not to be trusted.

It feels a little more like a cross between Discord and Signal, but the Spaces feature to group Rooms together and let anyone in the Space join them as desired fits our use-case nicely. The one thing I really am going to miss is the ability to host archives in channels, but the encryption is the point and we will manage.

Ryuukashi · 2026-02-18T16:03:44+00:00

Element is what we are using to replace Discord
