We keep our history in the form of songs. I don’t exactly know how runes were first brought to us. All we know is that ‘newcomers’ arrived and gave us knowledge in exchange for food and shelter. One song says: {‘There came a great storm, crashing across the sky…’} {‘There came a great need, or the sodden would die.’} A children’s tale speaks of fey folk who became human. A tribe that appeared out of a ‘ring’ of runes in the forest.

Hmm… I guess I never really thought about all the runed stones lying all over Phaaryl before. They just {were}. Always have been there.
Una
Someone must know. The newcomers never moved on. Their names are part of our clan histories now.
Finn
Wait, so… they… you know… with our ancestors?
Una
Yes.
Finn
Well that means I might never have been clanless! Maybe I’m from some long lost clan of heroic types from faraway!
Una
Yes, darling. You might very well be a hero’s descendant.
Finn
I friggin’ knew it!
