Lamia

A class filled with the arcane magic that brought the pillar to fall evolved around the scattered Pillar of the World. They use the debris from the former slabs and infuse them with life again – through carving runes into it, which resemble the elemental flights. Those dragons are called Runecarvers.
Nature, Plague and Arcane Stones are the hardest to find.

Runes are exceptionally hard to make and their supplies aren’t easy to find. They are filled with pure elemental energy and some can be used in combat.
Charms and Fragments consist of simple symbols drawn on things like gems, jewelry or other objects. While not purely consisting of magical energy, the special paint made of pigments and dust from the Pillar can have a small but noticeable effect.

Only worthy dragons can craft runes of the highest standard. The ability to carve such stones increases with the level of the fights it has won in the coliseum. That means a level 1 dragon can only produce runes of level 1.
A freshly hatched Runecarver has to wait until adulthood, before he can start with the complicated and dangerous training. He doesn’t have to be bored though since he has to learn all the symbols, he will later need, by heart.

It's a common sight, that Runecarvers gather around the pillar and collect stones with their familiars. That's why they mostly wear satchels to put all their findings in it. Glasses aren't a rare sight either. Many Runecarvers suffer from bad eyesight due to their tiring search on the ground.
