Runes
From Sons of Valhalla Official Wiki
On your journey you will find runes, which can be equipped to gain various bonuses. If Thorald dies on any difficulty higher than Easy he must sacrifice a rune if he has any. He will never lose divine runes.
Thorald has 5 belts for sword, ranged, units, city and divine runes. Each one starts with 3 rune sockets, and the limit can be increased up to 6 by finding additional sockets.
Runes come in five levels of quality. Epic runes can only be found after land 1 and legendary runes can only be found after land 2.
