First Runes was the first human alphabet on the Continent, 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 was taught at the Temple of Melitele in Ellander throughout the 13th century.[3]
The volume Healing and Curing,[2] and the copy of the Physiologus from Lower Posada, are both written in this language.[1]
