The map is procedurally generated. Map layout, Number of Secrets and Secrets Locations will vary for each playthrough. One Secret Rune can be collected only after you have completed the entire main campaign. So, in your first playthrough you may not be able to collect all the secrets. Check the video at the end of the page if the written walkthrough is not clear.
