Collective memory: Haruchai/Ramen and Native Americans
This isn't really about Runes exactly, but I'm thinking about the scene where Stave and Hami meet, and the two talk about how "we remember" or "we were there" (with "we" meaning the Haruchai and Ramen, respectively).

Or something like that.
They basically had their entire history memorized with location markers to help them remember the stories.

"Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation."
the hyperbole is a beauty...for we are then allowed to say a little more than the truth...and language is more efficient when it goes beyond reality than when it stops short of it.
