Rune-etched pillars
Minor arcanum #11
Deep under a giant, ruined fort is a vaulted chamber, once a storeroom but looted long, long ago. A giant skeleton lies just inside, face-down, its skull and ribs staved in.
Four pillars support the roof, carved with a series of huge runes that thrum with power. You can unlock their secrets, but…
Requirements
- ☐ …you must spend a few days studying the runes and memorizing their sequence.
- ☐ …you must meditate for a few weeks on the magic that infuses them.
- ☐ …you risk triggering the spell contained in the runes, and collapsing the entire structure.
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.
