The most famous living runes are those of the ancient Runelords of Thassilon, resurging as Thassilon rebuilds in the modern era.

Abilities
Truescript — A living rune can't speak, but it can sculpt its form into complicated scripts and pictographs that can be understood by any creature with the ability to read written language. A living rune can also understand any written or spoken language.
Constant Spells — Constant Spells
Backdrop — When a creature attempts to Strike a living rune and critically misses, the attacker hits the surface (a canvas, wall, or so on) behind the living rune. This might damage the surface or the attacker's weapon, at the GM's discretion.
Surface-Bound — A living rune can move only along flat surfaces. If the surface it's on is destroyed (such as a portrait hit by a Fireball spell or a wall being smashed), the rune takes 7d6 untyped damage and is shunted to the nearest flat surface. If there is no flat surface within 5 feet, the rune is destroyed.
