The Time of Woe: Origins of Runecraft

THE SHORT VERSION

The Ancestor Gods bind magic into crafted weapons, standards and protective objects, teaching the first Runesmiths their skills. Kurgaz’s Anvils of Doom enable a flourishing age in which even humble objects bear enduring enchantments. Earthquakes, invasions and the fall of holds destroy smiths before they pass on their lore, turning once-common creations into rare treasures. The account explains why surviving Dwarf rune items combine technical mastery with reverence for a diminished past.
