War Runes

War Runes are a set of 3 Runestones with various symbols on their sides. You may choose to cast the War Runes at the start of your Activation, before playing any cards. The result will alter the Encounter - sometimes for better, sometimes for worse.

You always have to throw all 3 Runestones, and you can do this only once per Activation. Once the runes are cast, spend them to trigger the effects described on the backside of this card.

You HAVE to spend all the runes - even if some results may not be to your liking.

Runestones

The card shows three Runestones. Each Runestone has one symbol on each of its two sides, shown as a pair on the card.

Runestone	Side A	Side B
1	Diamond	Star
2	Hook	Lattice
3	Lattice	Star
