Runic Crossing

The platform lowered us into the depths of the undercity, into a cavern none of us knew existed. How could such an expanse exist beneath the city walls?
The mystery continued as we explored. An everlasting fountain, pouring endlessly into a pool that seemed to drain to nowhere, with sparkles of coin lying on visible surfaces under the water. A wishing well, perhaps?
The most curious feature was just beyond the fountain, a bridge with glowing runes, a language which none of us understood. One of the investigators, a younger lad with not much experience, took a step forward.
"Wait!" I declared, noticing an inscription just before the bridge. It was in the Old Tongue, one I could barely decipher.
"Look here... It says... 'Truth', then this one means 'Guards'... And something about steps. I feel until we understand these runes and it's 'truth', this bridge could end anyone crossing it."
It was time to call the Librarian. If anyone could find the answers, it would be her.

Hey all!

Here's the map of the month for you all which follows on from the last dungeon map Thieves Undercross. A classic sprawl of tight corridors and small rooms. Some storage rooms, one repurposed to a torture chamber and a wishing well of sorts - filled with coins and a fair few bones. Perhaps players can make offerings and receive clues for how to cross the bridge here.

I've included a runic alphabet in the download and there is a phrase I've put across the bridge. Hopefully I've spelt it right this time! The last time I did this I misspelled the phrase (Whilst I can draw apparently I don't do well with words...).
