Identities of all five runes, with links

[UseUrHeadFred]

The northern symbol (http://images.google.com/images?um=1&hl=en&q=vegvisir)is a Vegvisir, a viking compass. I take it as
a reference to Lost Vikings - a Blizzard puzzle game circa 1993.

---

The northeastern symbol (http://www.randyrun.com/images/product_images/popup_images/lewt_9115.jpg)is the Hel rune for socketed weapons in
Diablo II.

---

The southeastern symbol (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/10/Pax_Imperia_Cover.jpg/250px-Pax_Imperia_Cover.jpg)is taken directly from the cover of Pax
Imperia: Eminent Domain, a RTS space game released by Blizzard in
1995.

---

The southwestern symbol (http://www.maxfreak.com/starcraft2/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/protoss-tech-tree1.jpg)is that of the Protoss from Starcraft II.

---

The northwestern symbol (http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/wrath/)is the Frostmourne symbol closest to the
hilt.

These are Blizzard's five most successful franchises. I have no idea what they're getting at.

I may hotlink, but I'm not loggin' ur keyz.

blizz handed PAX off tho someway through development, And they're not really Blizzards Top selling games but, more like Blizzards only 5 IPs. and the obvious deduction would be as to a new IP (game)

Pax symbol is similar but diffrent. it has 4 orbits: Small planet, double mooned planet, single mooned planet, large planet.

Teaser image rune has: small planet, small planet, planet with single moon, empty orbit.

Blizzard aquired the license to make the second game in the pax imperia series but then sold it again before it was released, Pax imperia series is overshadowed by the much better series: Reunion, Imperium Galactica 1, 2, Haegmonia Legions of Iron, Nexus: the Jupiter incident.
