Peter Metcalfe states the obvious:

I see: the God Learners standardised the Runes, God Learners were Malkioni, therefore all Malkioni use runes. Similarly, all elephants are pink. That some onetime, by then pretty much apostate, Malkioni produced the crinkle-cut rune set says nothing about what present-day Malkioni make of them. Just ask Paul R., with his ritually-Gregged Rune Sorcery, about this one.

I see no reason to believe either in present day use of runes by the Malkioni, or that they ever used them as a writing system. I do, however, suspect that some of the runes may once have been used by the _Theyalans_ as a writing system, before the God Learners came along and co-opted them. Maybe I'm biased by the fact that some of the runes were pinched from the RW Futhark, with the obvious Nordic/Saxon analogy.
