Runic Stone in a Bustling Town Square

An anime-style illustration of a towering ancient stone runic tablet standing upright in a bustling town square. The stone is carved with glowing sigils that pulse blue-green light, their glow reflecting on cobblestones. Surrounding buildings are timber-framed with colorful shopfronts and market stalls; banners ripple in the breeze as townsfolk in vibrant clothing mill about, curious children pointing at the rune, a mage or scholar studying it. Warm late-afternoon sun casts long shadows, with painterly cel-shading, crisp lineart, and a slightly low-angle perspective to emphasize the stone's majesty in the center of the square.
