The two of them began their walk through the Temples of the Old Ones. And what a sight it was to be witness to.
The Old Ones were clearly lovers of their specific brand of artistry, for it was everywhere. Those simple engravings that Lucian had paid witness to just a day ago started to have some form of sense among them. The intricate patterns were awe inspiring to the eye, even to one who was now on a technicality immortal.
To be up close to these symbols the two of them were standing on one of the many sides of the pyramids. Adok was currently on his knees looking closely at the symbols, which meant he might be onto something.
“You think there might be Runes on those engravings?” Lucian asked the Dwarf as he kneeled next to him.
“No, I feel like sleeping.” Half joked the Dwarf as he rubbed his eyes, “These are not simple engravings. No I think they are words.”
“Words?” Lucian felt the confusion come upon him as the Dwarf gave his answer.
“Aye, words.” He tapped one of the Runes with a stick, “You see this one repeats in other places but not in the same way. A Dwarf knows that patterns are some of the greatest artistry there is, but these symbols they have scattered about are scattered about. There is a logic in them.”
“Do you think they will lead you to your Rune? They don’t look like Dwarfen Runes.”
“No they don’t.” Pointed out Adok, “Legend says that Thungi found the Runes in a crypt of somekind. If we take into respect that the Ancestor Gods were the first Dwarfs, and that the Elves did not live in the World Edge Mountains, who else would be there?”
“I… don’t know.”
“Legend is that there were a couple races that it might have been. One are the Giants, but their smarter kin were wiped out and didn’t use magic. Orges are too dumb.”
“So you think it’s the Old Ones?” Lucian suggested.
“Aye, I think it is. Probably magic only the Old Ones could use, but Thungi had the right blood to use it.” The Dwarf hypothesized, “These engravings probably have a magical purpose but are no Runes. But if I am right there are Runes somewhere around here.”
