Practitioners of [[Runelore]], such as [[Shamans]] and [[Runewardens]], possess the ability to sketch various '''runes''' on themselves, other persons, the ground, [[totem|totems]], [[weapons]] and [[armour]]. In doing so a variety of beneficial or harmful effects may be achieved.

Legend states that [[Ayar]] Himself once stood upon a branch of the [[Yggdrasil |World Tree]] and etched the original twenty-nine runes of [[Runelore]].  Sometime later this branch was cut off, however, and the tree itself began to decay causing five of the original runes to be lost.

The family of [[Tithian]] and [[Phineus]], the [[:Category:Houses|House]] tutors of the [[Spirit Walkers]] and [[Wardens of the Cerulean Spire]] respectively, found a way to hold the decay at bay with a seal. The seal was broken in two and held by these tutors until recent times, when a malevolent spirit attacked them both and stole the protective shards.  The World Tree once again began to decay and along with it the various runing abilities within [[Runelore]].

Using remnants of a lullaby sung to the tutors when they were children as clues, a way to reforge the fallen branch was discovered and the decay of the [[Yggdrasil]] was halted. Through the collective efforts of [[Shamans]] and [[Runewardens]], the names of the runes were painstakingly re-etched upon the tree, giving power to all of the runes once again, including the five runes previously lost to mortalkind.
