Runic Towers

City of Refuge

Written by AuthorChase

Capital of the Naga

Runic Towers houses the Naga that focus on Rune Magic. Their elemental magic brethren resided in the Shamic Isles until recently, that is. The barrier controlled by the Runemaster currently keeps them safe from Stricord's influence.

History

by AuthorChase on HeroForge

Warth and Wir helped build Runic Towers after the World War. The Earth and Fire assisted them with rune magic. Their magic shaped the towers surrounding the territory, protecting them from the wildlife outside. Once it was built, the Naga flourished until Wir left the towers with the Water and Wind Naga. This was to build another civilization of Naga, leaving Warth to continue Runic Towers civilization. Even without Wire's continued presence within Runic Towers, a partnership still bloomed between the Runemaster and Elementalists.

Warth did not make a militarized force, depending on Wardom's War Clerics for protection. The Elven War Clerics deployed to Runic Towers to keep the peace from Dwarven resistances throughout Notta. Even with Lunar's war treaty, there are those that wish to see Notta as it once was. At times, Warth had to intervene in battles that would have taken Runic Towers. Under his protection, the Fire and Earth Naga had nothing to fear from these resistances.

Runemaster

The very first Runemaster of Runic Towers was an Earth Naga named Gertasj Shadowsong. Gertasj ruled alongside Warth and was a powerful Sorcelem. Her prowess allowed her to attend the Angels Council, giving the Gods advice on the future achievements of Notta. Every other mortal consultant of the Gods accompanied her. Lunar took every Runemaster's advice to heart, improving life on Notta.

Versash Firebound is the current Runemaster in Runic Towers. He is a Fire Naga of great reputation, helping Warth with his duties before Stricord's Betrayal. After the slaying Warth, Versash and other Sorcerers created the Shield of Light to keep the people out of harm's way.

Present Circumstances

Runic Towers is the only sanctuary from the harsh reality of their world. Some Water and Wind Naga find refuge here, but Versash forbids them from taking advantage of others. He hears what happens in Twilight Citadel, and this is not the city that will tolerate that. However, Runic Towers alone is not powerful enough to invade Twilight Citadel, so Versash has no choice but to concentrate on his own city and people. However, the Runemaster regularly houses Eldrinor Nocturne when the mage finds his way to the towers.

Shield of Light

This shield could keep the spreading darkness of Stricord's Scar at bay. Monsters and enthralled War Clerics could not get through the barrier. Only those with Versash's blessing can walk through and find sanctuary. The light of the shield protected Runic Towers, but the other cities and settlements were not as lucky.
