Our ancestors in the northern lands carved marks into stone, metal, bone, and wood. These marks carried names, intentions, boundaries, and messages meant to be read far beyond the lifetime of the one who carved them.

That is what runes do. They let us have conversations with what no longer exist in midgard.

You look at a mark carved a thousand years ago and you understand the message. You receive thoughts. And in that moment, the distance between worlds collapses.

What you do with it, what you read into it, what it reminds you of, that part is yours.
