Bloodrunes can be used in conjunction with the MoonShard pendant in order alter the appearance of the illusion. Using stones found in the sewers and a chisel, they can be created by carving an ur-barath totem. When a bloodrune is in use, it adds an additional line to the pendant's SHOW description and alters the glamour that the pendant projects based on its tier.

Bloodrunes can be TURNed to prevent them from being sold to the archaeologist NPC. MARK does not work with this item.

Flat Etched Stone

Flat etched stones are found in the sewers of Duskruin. Using a chisel sold at Mar and Scar, along with an ur-barath totem, you can READ the stone to commit the rune to memory before you CARVE the totem with the chisel.

Analyze

This etched stone is of the <type> tier.  To learn more about it, you should ask the dwarven archaeologist  around the Underground Temple of Bloodriven Village.  Or, you can READ the stone to burn the image to your memory for a short time.

Your etched stone can be purchased by the Archaeologist in Bloodriven Village.  Use TURN to mark it as unsellable.

Bloodrune

Bloodrunes are created when a totem has been carved with a chisel after the stone has been read and crumbles.

There are multiple tiers: Classic, Divine, Arcane, Mystic, and Legendary. Verb usage for the bloodrune is similar to its flat etched stone version.

Analyze

The creator has also provided the following information:

This moss-covered bloodrune is of the <type> tier.  Using PUSH (pendant) while holding a ragged moss-covered bloodrune you can add it to the pendant.  Likewise, you can PULL (pendant) to remove a bloodrune that has been added.  Speak to the dwarven archaeologist around the Underground Temple of Bloodriven Village for more information.

Your moss-covered bloodrune can be purchased by the Archaeologist in Bloodriven Village.  Use TURN to mark it as unsellable.
