Elder rune

Elder runes were glyphs used in the Realms as signs of warning or notice for travelers. Many races and organizations had there own collections of signs and way-markers for such communication, but these were relatively secret and known primarily only to members of those groups. Elder runes, in contrast, had been in use for so long that all races used them, and even commoners from the Heartlands understood their meanings.

Most of the elder runes had unique names by which the glyph was known.
