The Stellar
Runes are associated with the major constellations of Aiaos. In most cases, the name of the rune is preserved in the name of the brightest star in each constellation, but there are exceptions. These runes are used in magical inscriptions and enchantment, and are the runes most commonly used for divinatory purposes, but lack the intrinsic power of the
Elder Runes.
The Stellar Runes are divided into four groups known as the Enneads, each linked to a season.
The rune names marked with an asterisk (*) differ from the modern names of the bright stars.
