May Odin guide us to prosperity with his wisdom and give us strength. Valhalla awaits!

 

Invocation to Odhinn

 

Hail Odhinn, Lord of Asgard, 

 

Warrior and wanderer, valiant and wise, 

 

You to whom all the gods of Asgard look, 

 

Sky Father on the eight-legged steed, 

 

You who traded an eye for wisdom 

 

And ruled a turbulent realm, 

 

Give us the wisdom to accept 

 

The twists and turns of Fate 

 

Even as you surrendered yourself 

 

To the mercies of the Norns. 

 

Protect us, All-Father, 

 

From what harm may come to us. 

 

Lead us through the wilderness

 

And bring us safely to that great hall 

 

That you reserve only for the brave of spirit. 

 

 

[Charter of Asgard]

The Charter of Asgard
Asgard is an alliance that believes in having fun. We do not hold grudges and we do not believe in hate.
Just because we may disagree with people from time to time does not mean we hate them. We form this
most merry union to promote good will and brotherhood amongst our members and the members of other
alliances. This is our charter which outlines the framework of our government.

All votes cast are counted equally. The Candidate that receives the most votes is declared the winner of that
office. The winning Candidate has the opportunity to reject taking that office, in which case the runner-up
shall be declared the winner. In the case of a tie, a run-off election must take place between all Candidates
with the most votes. In some cases, the Thor of State is allowed to enforce a run-off election when the tallied
votes are very close and the number of Candidates for that office was large. If there is a tie after the run-off
election, then the Odin shall appoint the winner of the election from among the Candidates who tied, using
