lol, and when seen like that they all make sense.

I like Greed (carefully picking something up?) gluttony (my that person is wide, or just has a small head?) and lust best...

Very nice.

Can we assume that the rune for the heavenly virtue COULD also be the rune to its corresponding deadly sin? That was kind of the Quink's philosophy on the subject that most people got the sihedron rune wrong.

Thouse pics help a whole bunch with the adventures im adding in Thanks

Pathfinder 5's article about the Magic Of Thassilon explains that whole diagram a little better. As for virtues... these ARE technically the runes of the virtues of rule. But they haven't symbolized that for well over ten thousand years.

Weird. I got the feeling from the info in back of Burnt Offerings, that there was a whole different runic alphabet for Positive Runes versus Negative Runes. I would have put money that the current Sin Runes were the Negative versions of a whole 'nuther Positive set.

Question, I recently picked up the sihedron medallion at GenCon and Im trying to translate the other symbols besides the primary 7. Is there a reference source for them?

My apologies if this is explained somewhere else, but is it wrath or pride that has 2 symbols? Looking at the picture, I noticed in the top row 3 symbols but only 2 reference names with a total of 8 figures.

I like runes alot so I am really interested in knowing what they mean.

Raised after eight years! That's quite the feat of thread necromancy!

The middle rune in the first row was not actually used anywhere in publication. I believe it's an artist's concept for an alternate to the Wrath rune, but I don't know for certain.

As for the medallion you purchased, I believe that the other runes are supposed to be Thassilonian writing. Consider that artistic license by the sculptor. They're not mentioned as being there in the item description from the published adventures. Since the runes aren't a real-world language, I would not recommend trying to decipher them.

And here's a link to a homebrewed TrueType Thassilonian runes font, based on the example runes from the Thassilon article in Pathfinder #1.

Cool, there was this very nice wizard at the Paizo help desk that directed me this way, hence the revival.

I am saving that link! Umm, what do I use to reference the latin numbers to other font letters. like 004A becomes what in calibri?

004A is J, the letters of the alphabet start at 0041 (A) and run through 005A (Z) for uppercase and 0061 (a) through 007A (z) for lowercase. 0030-0039 are numerals from 0-9. In case you were wondering, the sample text is:
