Fleshmad

(See Dwarves) Rune Knights are called Runebound‌ by dwarves given their darker origin. Stolen from their war with The Dark Ones‌ are the curserunes, symbols that when branded or tattooed, empower the individual they now adorn. Usually taken from the penitent legions or the Fleshmad, these individuals are tattooed with all of the runes on the list. They unlock the ability to use the higher level ones with time, and to activate each one all they must do is speak an activation phrase while having a hand placed upon the rune they wish to use. The symbols themselves are unpleasant to look at and appear to swim or move upon the flesh of the tattooed. Becoming a runebound shortens one’s life significantly, on top of causing nightmare beasts to be attracted to them while they are dreaming. Over time the Runebound may begin to hallucinate, with the most common symptom being seeing dark ones in the edge of their vision, or occasionally in the distance, watching them.
