Calling of the Rune Mages – Overview
The Roles of Rune Mages in Society
Rune Warriors – Rune Mages and Military Training
Every Frostperson, including Rune Mages, must complete basic combat training at the fortress of Virkin. Some later choose a military career and join a company. At first, they are not considered full-fledged fighters by the warriors, but after about two years, this prejudice usually fades – provided they prove their abilities. Despite their military path, these mages remain connected to their original hall. When important decisions are made in Galtra, they are informed and called upon for consultation. They are and remain part of the Rune Mage community.Chosen by the Ancestors
These mages have a special connection to the ancestors and are the only ones capable of embedding eternal runes into frostglass. They have the ability to cut and shape frostglass. Their closeness to the ancestors makes them valued advisors who are often sought after for counsel. They are calm, thoughtful mages who earn the people’s trust – and some among them are also gifted healers.Keepers of Knowledge
Rune Mages with a strong affinity for historical records and science. They manage the libraries, preserve ancient texts, and remind the people of important holidays and traditions.Healers
These mages have a special talent for healing. They typically live in the cities and serve the common people, though they are less often found in Galtra. Together with mages of transformation, they craft small rune-etched bone tiles that release healing power when shattered.Enchantors
Rune Mages who specialize in the creation and refinement of magical runes for armor. While any mage can craft a rune, the Enchantors have mastered this art to an exceptional level.Beastbinders
These mages have a natural connection to animals that goes beyond simple control. Their magical ability often develops unnoticed, as they live with their families and the animals choose to accompany them on their own. Many of them realize only later that they possess magical powers.Mentalists
Mentalists focus on the thoughts and emotions of the Frostpeople. They explore what drives society, how emotions can be influenced, and how people can be strengthened or corrected psychologically. They are often diplomats among the mages and use illusionist tricks in their work. Some also serve as Soulkeepers, listening to people’s concerns and offering guidance and counsel.
