The World Runes
| The Eye of Isha. This
rune depicts the sorrow of Isha, the Eldar harvest goddess from whom the Eldar race
is said to have sprung. This is the symbol of the Ulthwe Craftworld, whose name is a
contraction of Ulthanash Shelwe, which means the Song of Ulthanash. This long and
incredibly ancient song describes the deeds of Eldanesh, the most important of the Eldar
folk heroes. |
The Cosmic Serpent. In
Eldar myth the serpent represents knowledge and it was the only creature which was said to
exist in the material and psychic universes simultaneously. Because of this the
serpent knew all the secrets of past and present. This is the symbol of the
Saim-hann Craftworld. Saim-hann means quest for Enlightenment, for the Eldar word
for snake and secret knowledge is the same: "Saim". |
| The Shrine of Asuryan.
Asuryan is the oldest and greatest of the ancient gods of the Eldar, the father of the
gods and the ultimate ancestor of all living things. This is the symbol of the
Iyanden Craftworld, whose name means Light in the Darkness, another way of referring to
the burning shrine of Asuryan. |
The Reborn. This rune
stands for the ancient principle of reincarnation which was the fate of all Eldar before
the Fall. The symbol denotes the Biel-tan Craftworld, whose name means the Rebirth
of Ancient Days. |
