Runes are a method of divination, which have been used by the Vikings in the north, the Germans and many others. I use the German Futhark, simple because it's the oldest alfabet, so in its purest form.
Runes are signs, which originally represented a creature, (abstract) object or a position.
They have meanings, which can be used in rituals, spells, inscriptions or amulets.
You can use them through "Runestones", which can be made out of wooden chips, stones or iron, depending on your liking.
Stones can be inscripted or painted, while wood can be painted, burned, inscripted, drawed, etc. Iron can mostly only be inscripted. But what do you have to inscript? I'll show the Futhark Runes below.
