Othila is the rune of birthright and ancestral land.
The family estate and ancestral land was not simply some dirt, rocks and trees. It was much more than something that could be measured in leagues, it was a direct link to one’s ancestors who worked that land and spilled blood to protect it. For this reason, othila represents not only the land itself but the wisdom, lineage, and culture of the people who live and work on it.
