Did the Godlearners invent the runes? I always assumed the runes existed
but that until the god leaners no one had tried to tie the gods to the
runes in such a abstract, mundane fashion. Also I seem to recall a
reference that the Brithini always have view the runes as abstract
concepts and view everyon else as just mistakenly personifingy the runes
as gods. So that the death rune is just death, a law of the universe,
and they view it the same way we view gravity, and they think Humakt is
just a barbarian way of personifing a perfectly natural force. Also
since it seems like sorcery originates with the Brithini(who are
atheists) and the Mostali(the word machine view) shouldn't the basic
sorcery mechanics be a bit mechanical? I think it's spirit magic and
rune magic that need to be more flexable and less mechanical.
