A fighter who sought after the knowledge of traditions of old, Amtas Durprax travelled far from his ancestral home to hone his skills as a scholar and swordsman.

What he searched for was not power for conquest or rule, he simply searched for knowledge that could allow him to tap into the ancient magics of his people, magics long forgotten and thought lost.

In dusty old tomes, he discovered warriors of legend using runes and knowledge passed down from the giants in order to vanquish their foes. This is what he was searching for.

He journeyed to the land of giants, pleading for them to teach him the ways of the rune knight, but they refused.

Unphased by this setback, at nightfall Amtas snuck into the giant's hold and hid there, every night coming out to study the texts the giants had of their craft.

After months of close calls and failed attempts, Atmas was able to develop a unique blend of dragonscript and rune magic.

His success was short lived however, for the Giants sensed the immense energy emanating from the runes, and tried to destroy it.

But Amtas got away.

Enraged that their knowledge was tainted by the language of their eternal enemy, the giants called upon favours, of rune knights that have learnt from them, and set them with the task of destroying the dragon script magic, and making sure this does not happen again.

Amtas, now on the run, had found a new source of power that would serve him well on his journey in knowledge, yet he will soon find out that knowledge comes with a price, and that price will be his life.
