Ancient Runes
Used by the original inhabitants of the valley, Ancient Runes were powerful magic crafted by Rune Masters. They required specific physical materials to contain the magic for a long while, sometimes as drawings but more often as engraved fillings. The more runes, the more powerful their combination. But a single character would still be used by families as a simple form of blessing.
We do not know much about ancient runes themselves, despite the hard work of the Ravenmight Institute. No detailed works have been found, suggesting that inhabitants removed or destroyed these before departing. This in itself indicates exactly how important the runes were, as they did not want enemies to find out how they worked.
Through references, as well as stories from people descending of inhabitants of the valley, we do know these runes were treated with great respect. To the inhabitants, these runes represented protection and a blessing of the rune masters. Where possible, they would gladly pay the costs involved in the precious materials. This included entire communities gathering the funds to pay for Runic Padding.
