Fyreslayers – Auric Runesmiter
4" 5 5+ 2 The prayers of an Auric Runesmiter are a war cry and their blessings are blazing coronas of flame. Within the thick of the fighting, their chants become burning energy made manifest, for battle is the domain of their ancestral god Grimnir. These members of the Zharrgrim priesthood are responsible for accruing ur-gold, and will take to the fore of battle to deliver their sermons to the warriors fighting to retrieve it. With shouted tales of ancestral heroics, their own battle-joy swells until divine energy sparks out from them in waves. Any warriors around the Runesmiters are inspired by their rumbling chants, filling them with vigour and righteous fury. This causes their ur-gold runes to blaze and sparkle as Grimnir’s essence responds in kind, filling their bearers with fell-handed power.
The Runesmiters have a deep knowledge of metal and rock thanks to their affinity with their holy fires. As a result, many have developed other, more elemental powers. They can control magmic forces, summon cinderstorms, and even cloak the claws of Magmadroths in flame. Most crucially, they can command the tide of battle by melting through solid rock and boring temporary tunnels for their Fyreslayer kin to charge through, allowing them to strike from an unexpected quarter. | ||
