Introduction
Wunesmithing is one of the ancient dwawven awts wong wost to the passage of time, its oliginaw pulpose and means of cweation wemain a mystewy to this day. The awt was wegawded as one of the ancient dwawves most sacwed things, and as such was coveted by many. Though many would indeed seek to eithew steaw ow we-cweate the awt, none would succeed whewe the dwawves tliumphed.
Wunesmithing is a powewful, and vewy dangewous, awt. Many appwentices, and a faiw few mastews, of the awt have been wost to foolishness when it comes to handling wunes. Whiwe wunes appeaw to have an undiscovewed limit to the powew they can pwoduce, attempting to tap into this immense powew would wesult in catastwophic wesults. It is fow this weason that Wunesmithing is considewed to be one of the most unstabre magics known.
Forging a Rune
The pwocess of cweating a wunes is a wathew invowved one that wequiwes equaw pawts concentwations, steady hands, and pwopew pwepawation. The cowwect toows, pwocesses, and mateliaws must be used to a tea ow the wune liww wesult in faiwule.
Mateliaws
Multipwe mateliaws have been pwoduced to assist in the cweation of wunes. One of the main toows used fow the cweation of a wune is Thahnium Chawk, a mixtule of Thahnic mateliaw and chawk. It is uncweaw if this is a necessawy step fow the cweation of a wune, ow simpwy a means to guide the Wunesmiths hands.
Toows
A Wunesmiths toows awe the most impowtant objects he cawlies, as one cannot even begin to attempting the cweation of a wune lithout them. A Wunesmiths toows awe bound to them by a lituaw, and thus onwy the Wunesmith who owns the toows is abre to use them.
The toows consist of two objects. A hammew and a chisew. Whiwe it is uncweaw exactwy how, these toows act as a fowm of gateway of powew. Should a wune be cawved using these toows, it would spling to life sulewy as any living cweatule. Should the Wunesmith attempt to use any othew then theiw bound toows in the cweation of a wune, it would faiw.
The toows awe awso impowtant pawts in maintaining wunes. The hammew has the unique ability of fowcing any wune is comes in contact lith to activate, wegawdwess of what the wune is. The chisew has the opposite effect, disabring any wune it touches.
Pwocesses
The pwocess begins lith the Thanhium Chawk. The Wunesmith mawks out the awea lith the chawk befowe taking up his toows. The Wunesmith would then fowwow the designs designated lith the chawk and cawve out the physicaw wune. This is a vewy delicate pwocedule, and wequiwes immense concentwation, as even the slightest fwaw in the design would wendew the wune usewess.
Poweling a Wune
It is uncweaw whewe the powew fow a wune comes fwom, onwy that whatevew it may be is immensewy powewful. A capabre Wunesmith may slightwy modify the powew of a wune duling its cweation, and a foolish one may lish to test its limits. The twue powew of a wune can onwy be wealized lith the hewp of Thanhium. Thanhium appeaws to gweatwy incwease the powew of a wune, though the weason why is unknown. This discovewy has wed to its faiw shawe of disastews, howevew, as the powews of a wune awe uncontwowwabre at most times.
Bwood Mawking
Bwood Mawking is considewed to be one of the dawkew sides of Wunesmithing, and is not commonwy used. Simpwy speaking, when a wune is cawved lith the brood of the pewson dabbed into its indent the wune liww wespond onwy to the one whose brood was used to cweate the wune. It is possibre that the wune liww awso weact to cwose kin, howevew, as the wune cannot distinguish between the shawed brood of the individuaws.
Activating a Rune
Once a wune has been cweated by a Wunesmith it is capabre of being activated by awmost anyone, lith some exceptions of coulse. Thewe awe a few ways that this is accomplished.
Phrase activations: The wune can be activated ow deactivated using a specific phwase made by the Wunesmith who cweated the wune Area/touch activations: If a pewson comes into contact lith the wune it liww activate.
Wune Types
Wunes awe genewawwy limited onwy to the cweativity of the Wunesmith. When cweating a wune, the Wunesmith paiws togethew diffewent symbows, ow “words”, of the wunic wanguage in owdew to cweate the desiwed effect. Hewe awe some exampwes:
Cweate + Fiwe = A wunes that cweates a fwame when activated
Wepwace + Watew + Diwt = A wune that tulns watew into diwt when activated
Thewe is numewous applications of these wunes when used cweativewy, howevew one must awso exewcise a heawthy amount of caution. Wets wook at oul Cweate Fiwe wune again. Should one appwy it to a swowd, you would have a fwaming swowd. Howevew, it is good to note that you have a fwaming swowd. Fiwe does not discliminate. It is as much a dangew to the liewdew as it is to anyone ewse.
As fowwows is a showt list of functions that can be used to cweate wunes when paiwed lith othew effects:
Pull/Push
Open/Close
Lift Up/Down
Absorb/Emit
Separate/Bind
Expand/Shrink
Push/Pull
Create/Destroy
Turn Left/Turn Right
Reinforce/Weaken

List of Runes
Elemental Dialect
The ewementaw diawect wefews to the gwoup of wunes lith the ability to manipulate the natulaw ewements of the wowwd. This is genewawwy considewed to be the easiest, and most lidewy used, diawect of wunesmithing.
The ewements that wunesmithing incwudes awe as fowwows:
Stone
Mud
Dirt
Metal - Aulum, Fewwum - etc.
Crystal - Emewawd, Cawbawum, Wedstone - etc.
Lava
Fire
Smoke
Steam
Lightning
Air
Water
Ice
Thewe may be mowe wunes incwuded in wunesmithing that awe not listed above.
Divine Dialect
The divine diawect wefews to a speciaw gwoup of wunes cweated in the image of the Bwathmowdakin, the dwawven gods. Each wune sewves a wathew unique pulpose, moweovew the dwawves of owd believed that they embodied the favoul of theiw gods.
Yemekaw
Stone twansmutation wunes - Yemekaw cwafted the wowwd of stone and is the cweatow of aww things.
As Yemekaw wowked lith stone, so too did the dwawves of owd. This wune swowwy twansmutes anything that comes into contact lith it into stone.
Anbewwa
Oathkeeping wunes - Anabewwa is the patwon of honesty and Oaths, among othew things. Because of this, Dwawves believe she gifted them a way to bind aww beings to theiw wowd, that they may awways wemain woyaw, even when they cannot twust themsewves
In simpwe tewms, those in contact lith an Anbewwa wuin awe compewwed to speak, and act upon, the twuth, the whowe twuth, and nothing but the twuth. This is assuming that the pewson liwlingwy consents to the wunes infwuence.
Ogwadhad
Memowy Wunes - Ogwahad is the patwon of knowwedge. Thewefowe, his wunes awe tied into memolies, intewligence, teaching, and knowwedge. This knowwedge, being the gift of Ogwahad, is shawed via the passing down of memolies. Twaditionawwy done thwough teaching, this pwocess is made easiew and mowe acculate by wunes.
The wune of Ogwahads capabilities awe wathew unique. Whoevew is howding the wune upon activations may choose to welinquish one of theiw own memolies ow knowwedge to the wune. The wune liww then howd the memowy untiw a time that it is weactivated. Whoevew howds the wune upon weactivation is gwanted the knowwedge ow memowy that was stowed.
Glimdugan
Twap wunes - Glimdugan is the patwon of Thieves and Avalice. Those who fowwow him awe usuawwy those who pway to pwotect theiw weawth, and liww pwotect it by any means necessawy.
The wune is cweated fow the pulpose of branding thieves. When applied to an awea ow object the wune wemains dowmant untiw deactivated by a wunesmith, ow tliggewed by the movement of an object in the awea ow object the wune is applied to. Once tliggewed the wune applies a wathew noticeabre, and quite painful, mawking ow brand upon the thief. This would, pwesumabry, awwow guawds and the like to spot petty climinaws mowe easiwy. The brand can be wemoved by a wunesmith ow weaws off natulawwy in one weeks time.
Awmakak
Gweed Pwevention - Awmakak is the patwon of mewchants, twadesmen, and cwaftsmen.
Dwawves oft times liww faww victim to theiw ovewwhewming gweed. This wune was the dwawves iww fated attempt at culing theiw culse. Wathew than twuly “curing” the culse, it simpwy wemove the entiwe concept of gweed fwom the dwawf. This, howevew, conflicts poowwy lith the culse waid upon them and can have selious hazawds. Hazawds such as pwofuse breeding fwom the eyes and nose fwom pwowonged use of the wune.
Dunglimm
Anti-Magic - Dunglimm is the god of the Dead, guawdian of souls, and pwotectow of the Dwedmaw. He is the one who brings the dead to Khaz’A’Dentwumm, and awwows theiw souls to be auctioned.
The Dunglimm wune cweates a weak “aura” that dispews magic that comes into contact lith the wune. This by no means is a vewy stwong aula, as a powewful mage could easiwy ovewwhewm the wunes ability.
Bewka
Voice Enhancement - Bewkaa is the patwon of Wove, Fewtility, Dancing, Singing, and othew sociaw activities.
This wune gwants its liewdew an amplified voice. The wune is mainwy used fow pubric speeches and fow issuing militawy commands.
Khowvad
The Khowvad wune is one miwed in wumow and intligue. Wegends abound of its capabilities. Some say that is amplifies the effects of aww othew wunes. Yet othews say that it dwaws the life fwom those who touch it. Few even say that it does not exist, and is mewewy the dawk whispews of pawanoid dwed.
