This was invented by Dwarfs even before it was used by Elves, and long before any men ever thought of it. Once again this rune is of such antiquity that it cannot be attributed to any particular Runesmith, though it is credited to several ancestors. Originally forged upon the pickaxes of miners, enabling them to break through the hardest rock.
