SPOILER The Runes

So, 1.19 added the Corrupted Undergrowth Ruins dungeon, and along with it, they added the Tol Rune
(Credit to Dracium_Z for the picture)


Now as of currently, there are 5 known runes, 3 added (Nii, Uth, Tol) and 2 yet to be added (Az, Ek)

Tol: Az: Ek:

Now these runes do have some lore around them:

Uth Rune: The Uth Rune is rewarded from a Uth Shrine, one being located at Aldorei Town and one at the Avos Territory, the one at Aldorei Town is probably there for convenience's sake, but Avos may be the original creators of the Uth Rune, the Golden Avia is probably some Avos elite, protecting the key to the Uth Rune, waiting for a challenger perhaps, using his feather, you can summon a Uth Guardian, the protector of the rune.

Tol Rune: Not a lot is know about this rune, but it's located under a Olmic cathedral on a altar (as you can see in the picture above), now the point of this rune is probably for Corrupted Dungeons, but it could have other purposes, like how the Nii and Uth runes are used for powder exchange.

Nii,Az,Ek Runes: The Nii Rune is dropped by Nii Guardians, the Nii Runes are by far the most mysterious runes of them all, as the guardians themselves have no context at all. Now the description of the Mythic bow "Az" says the following:
"Mysterious runes, held by inexplicable ancient guardians, were once moulded together for study purposes. The experiment went awry, as the runic words Nii, Az, and Ek were combined in a reaction that resulted in the collapse of a civilization."
Ancient guardians, they may be the last few of such a civilization, but where could this civilization be located, perhaps the Nether? Think about it, the Runes are used at the Forgery, a place which seemingly enough, is home to a gateway to a alternate reality overtaken by corruption, that's where it comes together, these ancient guardians opened this gateway, but it poured into their world, the corruption came in through their world, but thing is, why is it that when you visit the Nether, there's only one portal that leads to our world? The original portal is probably closed, no longer needed as the Nether is capable of making endless amounts of undead self sufficiently, so the blight that is the corruption could be blamed on this civilization after all.

Also, what do you want me to theorize on next?

 

Yay, a new rune.

 

This is god damn spicy I must say

 

Order of the Grook actually has a part (In Magical Materials class) where you read about the runes. It of course mentions the lore scripted in Az, which might make Az the closest mythic to ever be mentioned in actual lore. It does tell you, though, is that some wealthy people do have them, which we didn't know before, unless you want to count the powder merchants taking Nii/Uth Runes. I'm quite sure it also tells us that the rune guardians appeared after the events of Az, but I don't fully remember.

 

did you seriously just write in white text?
