Each card a rune, each hand a quest, In this frozen realm, they find their crest. From Niflheim's depths to Asgard's halls, Through realms of frost and snow squalls, With hearts as fierce as the raging gale, They tread the path where legends trail. In frost-kissed runes, their fates entwine, In Runespell's embrace, they define. By hearthfire's glow, they dare ascend, To realms of ice, where dreams extend. So raise your tankards to the northern might, To Runespell: Overture, under northern light. In its embrace, we find our call, In the land where frost and fire enthrall.
