Carvings in a cave
Minor arcanum #5
At the bottom of a sinkhole is a limestone cave. A moldering skeleton slumps against one wall, showing signs of having been hanged. Yet carved into the cave walls are runes, caked over with mineral deposits.
You can study the runes and learn the secrets they contain, but...
Requirements
- ☐ …you must carefully restore the runes over a few weeks of work.
- ☐ …you risk ruining them as you work.
- ☐ …you must decipher the old writings, which are similar to Stone Lord runes.
- ☐ …it will then take a few days of study.
The rest is discovered in play. Every arcanum has a hidden back — what it becomes, what it wants, what it costs. That’s for your table to find out, so it isn’t published here.
Back to all arcana.

The app deals arcana face-down; the GM flips them when the fiction says so.
