Norreyna is derived from ON (the name is from norð-rona, Northern Tongue)
with bits from OE thrown in for good measure. It's an RAL- a religious
auxiliary language, for pagans of the northern tradition. It's supposed to
look Anglo-Saxon-esque and have simple grammar. Eventually, there will be a
web-page for it. I'm actually really fond of it- I've developed unical forms
of the runes to write it in.
