Add Rune symbols
to use in their communications with one another. Some of these were sent down from the gods and have remained since the creation.
Others have found their way into common use over time. A familiarity with these will speed you on your way, whichever direction you decide to take
in the world of Wurm. Note that in normal day to day communications, letter case is for the most part ignored by most Wurmians, however, when you see Wurmwordssymbols inscribed on items such as tools or weapons to indicate spells enchantments or enchantmentsrunes, priests and craftsmen will always use the correct letter case.
