Ahh. I can never remember which book that was and always pick one at random. Thanks

It's understandable.  Both books have scenes set in the same location.

Another thing to think about is that while Gard's magics are being called "runes"; when I think runes, I'm usually thinking the futhark 'alphabet' that is the same batch o symbols you see on zillions of new age plastic "rune sets". And I don't think that the runes that have been used in the books/stories actually appear there.

All that being said, I'm not saying it's a bad idea to use them, I'm saying this is an excuse to open up the idea of runes/symbols - sponsored or not. There is a Polish & Ukranian tradition of decorating eggs at easter, and a lot of the symbols have symbolic meaning. That could be a type of runes used by a PC or NPC too.
