First Runes was the first human alphabet, based on elven runes and dwarven ideograms,[1] and can only be read by certain scribes and mages that choose to study it.[2]
The reading and writing of the 24 runes is taught at the Temple of Melitele in Ellander.[3]
The volume Healing and Curing[2] and the copy of the Physiologus from Lower Posada are both written in this language.[1]
