Rune Priest are fucking [[Librarian|Librarians]] of the [[Space Wolves|Space Corgis]] and their existence is one of the most infuriating for those who despise the fucking [[Yiff|yiffers]]. Part of the reason why is because of the notion that the closet furries have a particular hate boner for psykers especially the [[Thousand Sons]] and are known to treat psykers with suspicion and mistrust. As you can imagine during the burning of [[Prospero]], [[Magnus the Red|Magnus]] pretty much went, "What the absolute Fuck on Tizca's Tip Russ! You hate our people for who we are and yet you yourself use psykers in your ranks!?" in which [[Leman Russ|Leman]] promptly rebutted, "But these aren't psykers you see....they're....shamans, YES! Anyways...FUCK YOU NEEEEEEEEERRRRRDDDDD!"

This blatant hypocrisy have often been the main ammunition for those who hate the Space Wolves. That and the fact that their overall unhealthy lifestyle with their pet wolves.

Anyways, like the Librarians of Codex Chapters, Rune Priests are combatant psykers, using their psychic abilities to aid their brothers on the battlefield; off the battlefield, they are the keepers of the chapter's librarium and store of knowledge. The major difference is that Rune Priests do not believe their psychic abilities are derived from the Warp, but rather from the animistic spirits of their homeworld, Fenris, channeled through totems and runes on their armour, which as you can imagine, [[Bullshit|is fucking bullshit]] and is just more excuses for the Wolves to say, "Nuh-uh! Erh Meh Gerd! Des Tertelley Nert Psykers At All!". These traditions are descended from the shamanistic rituals of Fenris's native tribes, and have remained unchanged for countless centuries.

Rune Priests preserve their Chapter's entire history not in written form, but memorize it in great sagas. A Rune Priest who begins his training as a Skald is usually assigned to a single Great Company where he is taught its tales. With every new Great Year he joins another Company until he has learned the Chapter's full history and can be sent to whichever Rune Priest needs an apprentice.

The basic weapon of Rune Priests are their physically charged Runic Weapons. A common power among Rune Priests is the ability to summon storms across the battlefield which can cover the armies advance. Furthermore, they can cast runes which predict the ebb and flow of future events. These runes are usually carved from the bones or teeth of totem animals.

Many Rune Priests are psyber-linked to Ravens which are known as "Choosers of the Slain" to the Space Wolves. Their link enables them to see through the Ravens eyes and control them, thus allowing them to use them as scouts and messengers.
