Darnassian Script

I was wondering if there are more examples of Darnassian Script to be found in WoW. The only example I can find is the one on the portal between Darnassus and Rut’theran Village.
And does anyone know what it means?
(I tried adding the image but it won’t let me for some reason)

I’ve also seen some Thalassian Script (blood elf) but this is probably not completely the same as the languages have some differences.

If you mean runes found in Darnassus and places nearby, some elven writing could be found iirc in Moonglade and a bit was added in Legion locations. Unfortunaly I know about some mostly from the promo images posted by blizz employees on artstation. Links to the personal pages could be found for example from

As far as I can tell there isn’t much thought placed in the fictional languages of WoW. Usually there could be just the same number of words and translation given through some magical means, like Void Truffle or twitter (https://wow.gamepedia.com/Archive_lore_tweets_from_loreology)

There is an odd “trust level” system in place, not sure if the forums have official explanation to how it works.
:man_shrugging:

At most what I was able to achieve by looking for runes, etc., is to spot potentially common sources of things. Rarely it lead to something interesting. But even then it’s not explained, say, why in Halls of Valor runes are that of drust, and not iron dwarves & similar titan-forged, or how could draenei islands be close to Azuna prior to the Sundering.
