A collection of stories concerning the events of the past thousand years. The apocalyptic concepts of Norse Mythology are used as a foundation to tell the story of the collapse of the old order and the rise of a new order.

The 68 sections are divided into 4 parts (some theorize the 30-odd sections of Part 3 were the original story and others theorize there was once a 5th part) and the parts tell the story of before, the Messiah’s arrival and activities, the emperor’s reign, and after.

The longest part is Part 3 related to the emperor, but the Messiah’s Part 2 is the most well known. That is mostly because the story of the Messiah, the knights, and the dragon is told as a children’s story and six of its sections have been adapted into six songs adored by bards, so when people refer to the Unreif Germane, they generally are only referring to the Messiah’s story.

But like so many other historical texts, the Unreif Germane has a complicated history and there are many different versions with differing details, so research is still ongoing.
