Dethek runestone

Dethek runestones are typically hard, flat diamond-shaped rocks around an inch thick. The face of the stone is inscribed with Dethek runes in a ring or spiral pattern around the edge which typically surrounds a single graven picture. Thus, runestones are commonly read from the outer edge towards the middle. Not all runestones are engraved with Dethek runes but they are by far the most prevalent as Dethek can be directly translated into Common.

Most stones of this type are used as seals or pressed into mud to create temporary trail markers. Some, however are imbued with magic and can be used to open doors that have been keyed to them.
