Rune Born (3.5e Race)

Rune Born

Rune Born are not naturally found, only an evil arcane wielder could proceed in the ritual. The ritual requires an opening to the abyss. Through this opening the leader would reach into the abyss and pull a soul from there to embody a collection of stones. The stones then comes to life to service its creator, marked with the masters arcane symbol the new Rune Born has been forced into slavery. Usually these rituals are uninterrupted, but sometimes orders of light and good try to stop them. In some cases the master is killed right after creating the Rune Born. After the master of the Rune Born slave is killed it finds itself freed from slavery and its psychology changes. Once freed, a Rune born gains random traits from its owner, which is where most Rune Born gain their chaotic or evil alignment. Rune Born keep all memories and retain all knowledge learned during enslavement, even after it gains freedom.

Due to the Low amount of Rune born there is no city or even organization of Rune Born. Rune Born are the result of dark rituals, therefore most commoners fear them and only wish for their destruction.
