[QUOTE="Fragsie, post: 5174857, member: 83065"] [COLOR="DimGray"]//Research on Runes result = 23 DC15 – The runes do indeed bare resemblance to the supernal script in their basic shape as others have suggested, but they are corrupted beyond translation. Assuming that this corruption could be related to Herebos or Thartharus you study scripts tied to those realms but cannot find a link to tie them to the runes. DC18 – The runes in their formation contain complex supernal syllables that resemble the written form of the Words of Creation; they are very powerful indeed and most likely come from the gods or a source of equal power. DC20 – The rune’s corruption is aberrant in its nature; they draw their power from That Which is Far. These are Words of Creation that originate from that mad realm that exists beyond the Twelve’s influence. DC23 – You find a decrepit tome entitled '[I]The Dream Quest; and languages therein discovered[/I]' by H. P. Adorskill, that contains illuminations that could very well be the exact runes you are looking for and names them 'The Words of Azathoth'. Though the ancient Allarian text is almost entirely lost to the ravages of time you garner enough information to translate the runes as the concepts of Wit, Brawn, Glamour, Grace, Voice and Metabolism. Below is an except from that tome that stood out to you and was clearly legible; [I][center]"[O]utside the ordered universe [is] that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes."[/center][/I] //[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
