Runic Defenders- Dwarf Racial

Among the Dwarven nations there has been a common thread that has remained no matter their focus - the need to defend the old ways. It is unclear how the first defender became marked, though the fables tie back to the birth of the Heart of Gold. It is said the Abadel himself gifted the first to defend the forge from all those who would seek its control. Though in time the gift was passed further to safeguard lords, land, and treasures. The path to becoming a defender is arduous to say the least and requires rigorous training over a number of years to perfect their ability. Defenders stand out among their people. As they unlock their potential and gain their gifts, permanent runes become emblazed upon their skin often forming first on their faces arms and hands, but in time covering most of their bodies. It is from these that their true power comes. Even sages are not sure of what causes the formation of the runes, only that the power rests within the people as a gift from their creator.
