Karlevi Runestone, Sweden (No. 2)
The stone is contemporary with the Battle of the Fýrisvellir and it is consequently possible that the stone was raised by warriors who partook in it, in memory of their lord.
The inscription, which is on a granite stone that is 1.4 meters in height, is classified as being in runestone style RAK. This is the classification with inscriptions with runic text in bands that have no attached dragon or serpent heads and the ends of the runic bands are straight. The non-runic inscription on the reverse side appears to be accompanied by a small Christian cross and a Norse pagan Thor's hammer, or Mjöllnir. Other surviving runestones or inscriptions depicting Thor's hammer include runestones U 1161 in Altuna, Sö 86 in Åby, Sö 111 in Stenkvista, Vg 113 in Lärkegapet, DR 26 in Laeborg, DR 48 in Hanning, DR 120 in Spentrup, and DR 331 in Gårdstånga.

The Karlevi runestone is found on the island of Öland in Sweden. It dates back to the end of the 10th century and is considered the oldest example of a scaldic room, which is a part of a composition written by poets in Scandinavian courts during the Viking era. The text mentions the daughters of Thor and also Denmark, but with a meaning not yet clear. The stone is granite and is 140 centimeters high.

I feel like I don’t talk   ENOUGH   about how much sailing Þrúðr actually does !!   Or even for that matter, how much she enjoys it.   I’ve pointed to the Karlevi runestone a few times in some headcanons past, but pointing to it again, it does mention  Þrúðr & her significance specifically to a chieftain who was a sea-warrior.   On Hvírfýrí, Þrúðr has built   TWO DOCKS   & the Úlfhéðnar have a navy fleet because they are primarily military / warriors & while the majority of her associations are absolutely on the ground, in the dirt, in the forests; I feel like it isn’t mentioned quite enough her love of being either on or by the sea.   I think primarily why as well is because it is much more solitary for her, those she spends it with is extremely close to her  ( i.e. her brother or her wolves. )   It’s a place where not many prying eyes can reach her, there is an   UNSPOKEN STORY   between her & Jor when she was on her journey for knowledge.   That 3 year long journey when she was nameless, Jor was literally the only one who   SAW  her during that period because she spent a considerable amount of time on the ocean completely alone.

This scroll was a joint effort between myself as the wordsmith and Ignatia from the East Kingdom who carved the runes.
This stone placed by Andreas King and Gabriella Queen of East-realm at Rose War in Snowy Concordia on Sunnudagr, the second day of Skerpla, in the year of the volcano’s year, being 44 by common reckoning. Stein’s son, strapping Ulfr Storm of Ullr invoker [warrior] Cared for kinsmens purse-snow [silver] Keeper true of war chest Skilled this wound-thorn wielder [swordsman] Wordfame burned through northlands Actions called for honors: arms to him awarded.
A few notes: I based my text off of the Karlevi Runestone (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karlevi_Runestone). It was made in 1000 or so, which is about 100 years too early for Ulfr, but there’ve been similar other examples found closer to his period. The prose is along the same lines as the Karlevi stone, but is longer to encompass the requirements for a scroll text.
The poetics are drottkvaet form.
The date stuff may be based later than the stone’s period, but it was definitely in use before the end of our period. The year is a common method of reckoning dates in viking times. That references the icelandic volcano, which is a big event that Ulfr would have known about, and also says that it’s AS44.

The Karlevi Runestone is dated to the 10th Century AD. It is one of the most notable and prominent runestones and constitutes the oldest record of a stanza of skaldic verse. It has been translated:
This stone is placed in memory of Sibbi the good, Fuldarr's son, and his retinue placed on ... He lies concealed, he who was followed by the greatest deeds (most men knew that),a chieftain (battle-tree of [the Goddess] Þrúðr) in this howe; Never again shall such a battle-hardened sea-warrior (Viðurr-of-the-Carriage of [the Sea-king] Endill's mighty dominion ( = God of the vessels of the sea) ), rule unsurpassed over land in Denmark.

Karlevi Runestone, Sweden (No. 3)
Karlevistenen, with the sign Öl 1, is Öland 's oldest and one of Sweden's most remarkable rune stones. It stands on a field in Karlevi village's lake fields in Vickleby parish and near Kalmarsund.
The stone is a 130 centimeter high moving block of gray quartz porphyry , probably from the area west of Oskarshamn. It was erected around the year 1000, probably at the end of the 10th century, after a Danish chief, Sibbe the Good or Sibbe the Wise, Foldar's son. The stone stands in its original place and a drawing from the 17th century shows that it stood between two now cultivated burial mounds . According to the inscription, the dead man has been buried in one of them. That the stone stands in the distance on a deserted beachindicates that Sibbe died on the way past and was raised on the hillside by his entourage. Some believe that the stone was erected by Danes who were on their way home after participating in the battle of Fyrisvallarna outside Uppsala around the year 985 . Söderberg comes to the conclusion that the inscription belongs to the end of the 1000s; the stone is erected in memory of a Danish chief who has been placed next to the stone; and the inscription is engraved by a Norwegian poet, who was in the company of the Danish chief.
The poem is written on the verse measure dróttkvætt and the poem on Karlevistenen is together with the Sigtunadosan and the runic inscriptions from Bryggen in Bergen one of the few poem stanzas on this verse measure that have been preserved in the original. There are several theories in the poem . Trud is the name of a goddess , and "the warrior of Trud" means chief or army commander . Vidur is one of Odin's names, which is used here about the dead chief, and the carriage you travel on is the ship . Vagn-Vidurshall thus be interpreted as ship captain. "The sea king's vast land" is the sea .
Under the runic inscriptions there is a short medieval inscription on the stone with an unknown meaning: (NINONI + EH +). Possibly this could mean "in the name of Jesus".

Karlevi Runestone, Sweden (No. 1)
The Karlevi Runestone, designated as Öl 1 by Rundata, is commonly dated to the late 10th century and located near the Kalmarsund straight in Karlevi on the island of Öland, Sweden. It is one of the most notable and prominent runestones and constitutes the oldest record of a stanza of skaldic verse.
The runic inscription on the Karlevi Runestone is partly in prose, partly in verse. It is the only example of a complete scaldic stanza preserved on a runestone and is composed in the "lordly meter" the dróttkvætt. It is notable for mentioning Thor's daughter Þrúðr and Viðurr, one of the names for Odin, in kennings for "chieftain." In the second half of the stanza a reference is made to Denmark, but it is not clear what exactly this means in this poetic context.

Lake Storuman (No. 3)
Storuman Municipality (Swedish: Storumans kommun; Southern Sami: Luspie tjïelte; Ume Sami: Lusspie kommuvnna) is a municipality in Västerbotten County in northern Sweden. Its seat is located in Storuman.
The parish Stensele was created as late as 1822. It was, together with the parish Tärna, made into a municipality in 1863. In 1903 Tärna was detached to form a municipality of its own. The local government reform of 1971 saw the reunification of Stensele and Tärnaby municipalities, thus forming Storuman Municipality with the name taken from its largest town.
The municipality has Sweden's ninth largest area (8,286 km2), but is sparsely populated with a population density of less than 1 inhabitant per km2.
Tärnaby, a small village in the municipality, has fostered the internationally famous alpine skiers Ingemar Stenmark, Stig Strand and Anja Pärson.
