Rune of Secrets
If you recall when I began the rune series, I said I would not be doing a treatment of the blank rune. It’s a modern tack on and really not at all useful, I think, and besides, the Perth rune represents what they say the blank rune means anyway. This is the rune of secrets,…

Reality is Porous
