The Runesworn were one of the major magic institutions before the Great Purge. Its flagship institution was the Academy of Runes.
Trademark Style
The Runesworn took great pride in being masters of enchantment through rune work. They stressed extreme precision with regard to the shape of each rune, believing that an imprecise glyph carried less power. For this reason many students did not advance beyond the initial teaching of the academy, which was entirely made up of learning to write glyphs to perfection. Only after pupils had mastered this could they begin learning to imbue them with magic.
The Great Purge
Notable Students
- Atury was originally a Runesworn Acolyte at the Academy of Runes; being deaf made rune work more favorable. He was expelled, however, for creating his own runes which were not part of the traditional symbols. He made up new language to accompany the glyphs, and used this language to encrypt all his notes. Since the language was known only to him, any reference to it refers to it as Aturian. After expulsion, he was accepted into the Draol school, because they value inquisitive students who pushed boundaries. He was called the Glyphmaster by the Draol for this reason, as he has not only mastered the traditional runes but the new ones.
- Boloro of Avendel, the founder of the Eari school of magic, had actually attained the rank of Runemaker.
