Default The Runes Basket



Next to the Runes classroom is a small, curved door, certainly not more than four feet in height. There is no knocker, no latch here; the door is open, always is, though it is impossible to see what lies behind it, until one steps through it, to see for oneself.

Inside, there is a basket - a giant basket. Giant for a basket, not a room, though the basket is large enough to serve as a small classroom. Two rope ladders are stationed at each end of the basket, so that one can climb inside. Inside the basket, there are rocking chairs, small, round tables, and tall lamps that light up most of the place, at night; though there are a few, shadowy, lamp-less corners, that offer complete peace and quietude.

On each table in the basket, there is a rune-set; and in a corner, a dusty, old bookshelf that contains books, a good portion of them dedicated to Runic study. Woven across one, whole wall of the basket, are the words:

Perplexity is the beginning of knowledge.

The door to this place is open at all times. Come inside, practice the use of runes, complete your homework, consult a Runes dictionary, or have a quiet or good time with friends. This is a place to be comfortable in, to make use of if you want to hone your Runes skills or have a peaceful time - alone, or with friends.
