Default Question about Runes in Old RQ

Hey,

I never got to play RQ1 or 2, and started with 3 (divorced from Glorantha) though mostly ignored it to focus on Stormbringer.

I always read about Runes, and the name of the game was 'RuneQuest'. I saw them on the books and the odd old suppliment.

What roll did they actually fulfill originally? Did characters embody runes, or gain power from them somehow? I know how MRQ does it, and I know that's not like how it used to be, so the question is... what did it used to be?

I'm just curious, its one of those things I've always wondered.
