'''Runes''' are the specific letters in a ''runic alphabet'', a form of writing created with the intent that it will be carved into solid surfaces. This gives it a distinctive shape of angles and lines, lacking the curves used in liquid-based writing styles. In the real world, runes are associated with the family of ancient Germanic languages, most famously that of the [[Viking]]s. Runes were used both for day-to-day writing, and also in certain magical practices, most notably in the form of divination.

In /tg/ media, runes commonly appear as a form of [[magic]]. Runes may be the literal alphabet of magic, or may be a methodology by which magic can be bound to physical objects in order to create enchanted items. [[Dwarves]] often are depicted using runic alphabets as their writing style of choice, as it's typically presumed that dwarves would rather record lore on stone or metal. Rune-based [[mage]]s have appeared in various games, most notably the [[Runemaster]], [[Runecaster]], and [[Runepriest]].

Runes are sometimes used interchangeably with sigils and glyphs.
