Karan

Translated Rune Zone Building/Area Location
Vee Qeynos Capitol District Concordium Tower Take the yellow teleporter up and head to the bottom. The scroll is under the stairs on the left. ( 698, 82, 127 ) Copy
Aerr Stormhold Library On a bookshelf across from the door on the opposite wall between tables, look for a book slightly out from the others. ( -127, -32, -140 ) Copy (You get access by clicking on a grate in the floor at ( 5, -26, -121 ) Copy on the second level down in Stormhold.)

Shi Ruins of Varsoon Tome of Life's room The book with the blue spine on the east wall. ( 9, 4, 72 ) Copy (on "Center" map)
Mir Ruins of Varsoon Workshop of the Enchanter A scroll next to blue book. ( 256, -3, 133 ) Copy

Feerrott

Translated Rune Zone Building/Area Location
Gresh The Feerrott The Hidden Camp Go inside the tent behind Merchant Murgina and look up. The scroll is standing on its end next to the center pole up top. ( -149, 14, 187 ) Copy
Draedan The Feerrott Golgoth Bridge Under the west side of the bridge, in grass near a rock, near the waterline. ( -342, -8, 490 ) Copy
Xak The Feerrott The Temple of Alliz On the lower level, atop a table next to a vase. ( -329, -5, 849 ) Copy
Rakta The Temple of Cazic-Thule Room next to The Pool of Dread Next to some small steps. ( -35, 0, 11 ) Copy
Trena The Temple of Cazic-Thule The Pool of Dread Next to some small steps. ( 3, -2, 6 ) Copy
Trana The Temple of Cazic-Thule Ux Uval's room Up on a table. ( 0, -12, -98 ) Copy
Voth The Obelisk of Lost Souls Near the instrument of torture's room On level 1, on a table. ( -48, 594, 286 ) Copy
Sissthra The Obelisk of Lost Souls The Aethenaeum of Shadows On level 3, the scroll is near a candle. ( -429, 396, 244 ) Copy
Rett The Obelisk of Lost Souls The Medium of Cron's room On level 3, next to a cabinet near the Medium of Cron. ( -436, 371, 332 ) Copy
  • Sissthra and Rett Runes: You don't have to complete the access quest Summoning the Creator in order to unlock the door leading to the lower levels. When you're in the central chamber and the purple glowing exit is behind you, then the way forward is level 1, the way to the right is level 2.
  • Voth Rune: You will either have to complete the access quest Entrance into the Obelisk or use the Feerrott zone-in which puts you just inside the Obelisk.
    • Note: You no longer need to complete any access quests once the zone is greyed out for your character. However, you no longer need to kill the Labyrinth Shadow and the Keeper of Nihility to reach level 3. EDIT: 7/1/18: At 110, I had to complete all unlock quests and kill named bosses to unlock all doors to get to Level 3.
  • The simplest entrance to the obelisk might be commonlands, take the griffin to Nektulos Station, and then head toward obelisk entrance, kill the shadowed men and you will see a purple glow, click it and you're in or druid or wiz portal to Antonica which is right by an entrance. If you're high level (perhaps on the swashie epic repercussions quest), you may want to pick up several quests, set your aa slider correctly and chrono to level 50 to grind out some xp while you're here, there is even an HQ to kill 100 nightbloods you can pick up in Rivervale (By Hook or by Crook).
