Runes tend to be used for devotion to the Brathmordakin, tattooing or painting holy words and names into one’s own skin. However, branding a rune into one skin while if by oneself can be seen as an act of devotion, one that is branded with a rune of Punishment is branded as the name suggests; to punish them for their actions against the dwarven race and the Brathmordakin.

 

There are three types of Punishment Runes: Runes of Disgrace, Runes of Death, and Runes of Redemption. Runes of disgrace are meant to warn individuals of what kind of individual the one branded is and so they know to keep away from them. Runes of Death signal that the dwarf that bears that brand is not a true dwarf and his death would not be seen as a sin in the eyes of Yemekar. Runes of Redemption are runes that overshadow any other Punishment Rune while the individual is on his/her path to redemption.

 

Punishment Runes cannot be inherited with the exception of the heretic rune. If the leader of the clergy finds out that a particular clan has made the worship of khorvad a normal phenomenon in the clan, then the he/she can declare that said clan is heretical and brand its members spiritually. The most well known case of this would be the Ironborn.


Runes of Disgrace:

 

-Rune of Shame-

When a Dwarf shames an institution he/she is a part of (be it clan/kingdom/guild) he can be punished by being branded with the rune of shame. This would be placed on a dwarf for acts that are usually looked down upon; Shaving a beard, dishonoring a dead body, insulting an important individual, etc. People that have this rune on their skin are meant to be shamed but killing them is still the same as killing another dwarf. This rune is usually used alongside other Runes of Punishment.

 

When a dwarf dishonors himself upon another clan the clan father of said clan can request the clan father of the individual to be branded with the rune of the wronged clan. This practice can also affect Clan Fathers if the King feels like the punishment is acceptable. An example of this happening is with Kerwyr Frostbeard.

 

-Thief Rune-

Stealing from a fellow dwarf is one of the worst sins in dwarven culture. For this reason one that steals is usually branded on their forehead to make it harder for them to steal from their fellow dwarves. This rune tends to be used alongside the rune of shame and/or the Rune of Exile and other Disgrace Runes. To brand someone with this rune you need the approval of the Grand Marshal, the King, or the High Preceptor.

 

These Runes can also be branded on those that practice holy dwarven magics without being dwarves. Any dwarf can brand a non-dwarf that practices dwarven magic. Non-Dwarves with this brand are meant to be disposed of for the sake of protecting dwarven culture and legacy from the other races.
 
-Mixbreeder Rune-

Diluting the bloodline of Urguan is looked down on by the large majority of dwarven society. Because of this individuals that have relations with non-dwarves are branded with this rune. Despite still being protected as dwarves this rune serves the purpose of exposing the shame and secrets of those that have partaken in this sin of the flesh. Children of those with this rune do not suffer from this if they choose to follow dwarven culture and incorporate themselves into it as much as they can. If one refuses to do that they can be branded with the rune of exile. Branding someone with this rune requires the approval of the King, the leader of the clergy, or the permission of the clan father of the individual.

 

-Rune of Exile-

The Rune of exile is given to those banned from dwarven lands. This means that the individual has acted in such a way that his/her presence in dwarven society is unwelcomed but does not warrant the death of the individual. A bearer of this rune will always be escorted out of dwarven lands and not killed, unless he/she posses a threat to the lives of their fellow dwarves. Branding someone with this rune requires the approval of the King.


Death Runes:

 

-Kinslayer Rune-

The Kinslayer rune is the brand imposed on kinslayers so that their shame is known and so they cannot hide from the rage of their kin and the Brathmordakin. One that has been branded with the kinslayer brand is not considered a dwarf in the theological sense. Dwarves are the race chosen to keep Yemekar’s balance by killing a fellow dwarf a kinslayer renounces his/her holy propuse and loses all right to claim to be a dwarf. Branding someone with this rune requires the approval of the King and/or the leader of the Clergy.

 

-Rune of Heresy-

The Rune of Heresy is given to those that worship Khorvad and/or practice the dark magics of the world. Those that bear this Rune are to be slayed in sight and their body burned so that they cannot taint the land if they return as an undead. This Rune is the only Rune of Punishment that can be passed on to other relatives of the individual if they all share the same clan and said clan is basis on the worship of Khorvad or in the practice of the dark arts. To brand someone with this rune one would need the permission of the Leader of the Clergy.

 

Redemption Runes:

 

-Slayer’s Rune-

Out of the Runes of Punishment the Slayer Rune is the only one with positive connotations. The slayer Rune is Branded on those that decide to become slayers and repent for their sinful and dishonorable pasts. The Rune of the Slayers cancels out any other Rune that the dwarf might have branded on himself and hence protected from those other dwarves that might want to kill the individual. Creating a fake brand of this rune or ignoring the oath made under it is a death sentence for the individual who bears it.
