Runecraft: A Viking finally understands the written language of the gods, the Runes, and their power. A Viking Warlord, can graft one Rune spell to a weapon. Runes that are grafted in this way are permanent. These Runes trigger a level 6 spell, at level 15 caster level, of the user's choice, when struck.

Odin Strike: Viking Attacks never miss their intended target

Sea Worthy: Anything that a viking and crew of 6 needs to survive, can be retrieved from the sea, including food, fresh water, and other sea-faring supplies

Survivor: Through the will and sheer determination that is renown in the Vikings, a Warlord will not fall unconscious at 0 health nor will any single strike render him unconscious

Plunder: Anytime a creature dies within 20 ft. of a Viking Warlord, he may raid it's body of valuable as in the pillage skill

Master Sunder: Sunder attempts made by Viking Warlords ignore the hardness of the object they are trying to break

Captain: The amazing tales of a Viking Warlord has led a specific crew of 50 men in a 200 ft war ship to actively seek him out as their captain

Rune Forge: A Viking Warlord not only has the ability to make his own weapons, but make them with Runes as well. This allows him to create an item with three Runes instead of grafting only one. You need to make a whole new weapon for this to work. Weapons made in this fashion are treated as +3 masterwork weapons and have three separate runes that can be activated at the users will. They are the same spells and cater level as in Runecrafting
