These are all across. They’re very common actually and do tie with real mithilogy, but don’t take away from their importance. There’s a lot of GZ devs referred stone circles, stacks and specifically serpents. Old map concept with a barely visible sea serpent, the runes on the rock and serpent, but with alpine even having a side quest with prophecies…
The devs really pushed for this to be notable, so I say it’s worth looking in to it
I came across in the last days gone bye, that the Rune stones are relatet to the Nibelungensaga that is connected with the Völsungensaga in Sweden. There where the Sigurdstones. Sigurd is related to the German Siegfried. In Sweden, there where seven Stones. Called the SIgurdstones. And one of them raised my attention. It was the Stone of Ockelbo that looks very similar to the stones in the game.
This is something what i like very much in the game. To visit such places.
You mean in the game world? I only found two so far, with the snakes on them I mean. Or did you mean in the real world? The ones in the game closely resemble the Runestone at the Swedish castle Gripsholm The ones in the Game don’t have such long curly tail.
I found two Runestones in the Game. One on Södra Saltholmen when you go from Saltham to Saltomen close to the Busstop. And one on Hjimfäll underneath the Klacksundsfryan Lighthouse.
And this is a collection of Runestones
There are way more, but I can certianly give one position that’s simple. Bjortunet hotel right past the maze by the ourskirts of the territory
Not sure if this is something or just a trick of the mind, but those look like letters on that rock wall.
View point 2885, 2950 (A)
it could be a trick of mind or the game of sight angle and the light. But some of the structures are looking like runes 
Yeah got that one in the caves route. It’s a nice place that could be used in the future.
O runes, I did not think of that. 
Yes, was my first thougt as i saw this. I must look at myself to this. But first i had to complete the bycicle race 
there is also a glitched spot there as well. I made a post about just makes the location memorable.
I made a try to translate/interpret what the Dev:s have carved on the stone 
I would recommend these sites to learn about runes and carving:
Kalle the runecarver, master of runestone carving

I tried as best as I could 
Speaking of the runes, in the game, there is one side mission where NPC (Viviane) tried to decipher the runes on the large stone at Gudlög stone ship (Gudlögs stenar), on the East of Himfjäll.
Her results are here:
I feel that she gave a longer interpretation than was necessary 
Posted a completion translation to this stone and the one at Salthamn here Easter Eggs Compilation
Can post the completion here also, just to be safe
I still don’t know what “smmasmmaa” means.
No, I double checked. I wonder which Dev. allowed Nostradamus create the stones? 
All the stones have the same carvings.
Here are the runes:
I wonder why the S-runes are mirrored on the stone. But the other runes are not.
I don’t know
I created this topic for just discussion about the runestones, I hope we can solve what smmasmaa means
Runestones
IMO the “S” marks the end and beginning of a word.
