Right outside what used to be the Ancient Runes Office there is a large noticeboard affixed to the wall. The wooden frame has runes carved all over it but the most important aspect is that the board itself is where you will find all the information you need to keep organized on your Ancient Runes learning journey, including class schedules, the curriculum, and any announcements.

It is your responsibility to keep informed! Not knowing when your lessons are held is no excuse for tardiness or for being ill-prepared.

SPOILER!!: Required Equipment

ooc: Note that this is just for IC reference, particularly important is the learning journal which Professor Beryl requires all students to have. If you have questions you can send me a PM.

Students Need to Bring:

• rune set (wood, stone, or bone). Please speak with the professor for assistance if you do not have your own set.
• leather-bound learning journal (with your favourite rune or bindrune on the front cover and a one page explanation of why you chose that rune or bindrune written on the back page)
• runecasting cloth in white or burlap. It may be blank or stitched/embroidered with guides, but should not contain any writing.
• rune dictionary you must have your own and you are encouraged to make additions and annotations to your dictionary.
• assigned textbooks for your year level
• two quills - one for black or blue ink, and one for red.
• spare parchment (finished work to be stuck into your learning journal after marking)

The professor will provide:

• hand outs & worksheets to be stuck into learning journals when completed
• extra reference books beyond the current textbook
• carving and rune-making tools for creating ones own rune set
• raw materials if applicable
• spare ink in black and in red

SPOILER!!: Curriculum

Quote:

ooc: Note that this is just for IC reference. The two RP'd lessons this term are the general all ages 'seminar' type lessons. That's why everyone is in together! For the rest of the runes learning, students are divided by year groups. If at any time you want to know what your kiddo would be learning feel free to flick me a PM

All Rune Students will take the appropriate classes to their year level in addition to the general seminar classes which are open to all.
