Agnar clan lord5/18/2023 He never settled down in one place for long, fearing becoming a tyrant like the other gods, and instead hopped from plane to plane, performing feats of heroism or inspiring others to be heroes themselves. Removed from Gielinor, V travelled the universe. In the 5th age, the Fremennik destroyed the entrances to the rune altars, rendering the Moon Clan unable to runecraft, but their isolation on Lunar Isle and continued practice of magic eventually led to the Moon Clan surpassing the need to use runes to practice magic. V, although far away from Gielinor, saw his people turn on themselves and wept. This eventually caused a split between the two factions, with the Moon Clan going to Lunar Isle after the other Fremennik turned violent. Some Fremennik believed that since runes were a gift from the gods, crafting them was blasphemy, while others believed that they should craft runes and use magic to better themselves. In the absence of V, many Fremennik began to disagree on the subject of runecrafting. Inspired by Marimbo, V held a massive goodbye party dedicated to the feats of heroism he would accomplish away from home, after which he left Gielinor willingly. Because he had not been a conqueror like the other gods, Guthix acquiesced. When the God Wars came to the end and Guthix created his edicts, V asked Guthix to stay a little longer, so that he could say goodbye to his people. This made the other gods eventually give up trying to conquer them. Although he was not nearly as powerful as the other gods, nor were the Fremennik as numerous as their followers, his presence on the battlefield inspired them to fight harder than ever before. He managed to maintain the peace between them and the rest of the Fremennik for as long as he was on Gielinor.Īscending to godhood and the The God Wars Īt some point, V fully ascended to godhood, which the Moon Clan posit could be due to slaying an evil god.Īs a god, V defended the Fremennik through the outbreak of the God Wars. With these runestones, V taught his people simple magics of air and water - things that would help them in their nomadic lifestyle. These altars could be used to create runes, which were previously only available in the limited quantities that Guthix gave out. ![]() He and some other Fremennik then went and created a large number of altars at places of power around the world, starting with the Astral Altar. V soon discovered that the rocks where the stone was found had become the rune essence, and that he could change them into "the elements of the universe itself" by focusing his mind on them. Since then, V grew to become the Fremennik's greatest hero.Īlthough he never found the Stone of Jas again, touching it had unlocked something in V's mind. This was considered V's first act of true heroism and the Fremennik later wrote a ballad about it called the Ballad of the Basilisk. The basilisks offspring were then herded into a nearby cave. They polished their shields so that the basilisk's deadly gaze would be turned against it, and when it retched in pain from its own reflection, V dealt the killing blow with his halberd. Being nomadic at the time, many of the Fremennik wished to leave, but V rallied the people and mustered a force to fight it. Becoming a Hero Īccording to the Fremennik's songs and sagas, shortly after touching the stone, V returned to his people with a warning: he had spotted a giant basilisk on the shore that was nearing their encampment. The stone was then "instantly removed by those powers who walk a higher astral path", leaving behind what would later be dubbed rune essence. Upon touching the stone, V was endowed with godlike power, albeit not enough to ascend, and grew to normal height. One day, likely during the first or second age, he stumbled on the Stone of Jas in the Lunar Isle mine. Eventually he became a seer, and is said to have used his gifts to guide and teach the rest of his people. ![]() V was born stunted and weak, noticeably shorter than most Fremennik.
