I vaugely recall mention of sculpture using rock because the darksense
penetrates the rock producing more textures than appear in the surface
markings (chewed in). Thus anything could concievably be recorded merely
by placing the correct rock in an appropriate spot. The implications for
geurrilla warfare are staggering, which is appropriate given the nature
of trolls.
Equally the whole of Boldhome could be an enormous trollish epic.
Maybe dwarven constructions mean something truly obscene in Troll?
There's a hook. Your stead keeps getting raided because the new barn is
the equivalent of obscene graffitti about the local Kargg's Son's
mother. Try getting your PC's to figure that one out.
More seriously very little would be actually written. Why write when you
have direct access to the spirit of the person who origionated the info?
& their mother & hers etc. "Written in Darktounge" IMHO is shorthand for
'extensivly illistrated in a manner likely to convey more to Uz than to
other bodies' This probably includeds references for which spirits to
contact for further info/ clarification or even constitutes a summonning
of the appropriate ancestral spirit. Accordingly these texts would be
secret & probably sacred.
Out of time.
