Basgiath is built on runes but the Basgiath War College doesn’t teach runes at school. They are considered a Tyrrish custom which has been mostly lost after the unification. Runes hold wielded power woven for set purposes.
Runes are a skill the Tyrrish once controlled and perfected, but it was banned a couple hundred years after the unification of Navarre, even though many of the outposts and Basgiath itself were built upon them
There are many types of runes, some which are simple and others which are incredibly intricate. Marked ones are taught runes and have an upper hand when it comes to them.
Runes serve a purpose beyond decoration. They represent strands of magic harnessed from riders and fliers’ own power, meticulously woven into geometric patterns designed for specific functions. These enchanted patterns are then infused into an object, ready for immediate activation or for future use. This process is referred to as ‘tempering’.
Every shape has meaning. Runes are similar to a logosyllabic language, like Old Lucerish or Morrainian.
Notable examples of use of runes:
-On Violet’s daggers gifted to her by Xaden Riorson
– The runes on the Rybstad chest which hold items placed inside suspended in midair
– Runes inside the wyvern
– The intricate rune on Brennan’s palm
