	In the days when the Sigilists were just proclaiming their abilities, the Emperor of Njord was quite intrigued by the inherent power the Sigilist could draw upon, and the potent forces one could unleash. He was a schooled Glyph Carver, however, and quite set in his ways but none the less, he was intrigued. He called his best acolyte and explained a plan he had ~~deviced~~ to tap into the best properties of both schools - Runemarking. Together, they devised Sigilist Forms which were inscribed on the student’s very body, allowing him to use the reliability and versatility of Glyph Carving to form the potent spells of a Sigilist. While the new path performed well, the idea of self-mutilation for a chance of competition appealed only to a few entirely devoted souls.

Considering how little is know about them today, it’s possible they simply slipped through the cracks of the old bureaucracy and lived without knowing their gifts.

	Essentially a school of Glyph Carving, the Graven Blades came from the ranks of the Empire’s Legions, where the power of the mages had long been awed and feared for the risk that the army be made obsolete. The Emperor had similar fears of his own, with growing factions of barely-controlled sorcerers sprouting around him faster than he could handle (even the Marked had slipped from his grasp, near-fanatic as they were), and decided to personally teach a small cadre of soldiers the secrets of Glyph Carving. He gave them the tools to enchant weapons, shields and armor, producing for himself an elite guard of soldiers that could protect him even from the Imperial Mages. This unit of soldiers was dubbed The Graven Blades, and sustained themselves until the present day.

	The final form of rune magic had existed in the Empire for some times in closed cabals, but never achieved any sort of popularity until the civil unrest that the magic wars brought. Throughout the history of the Empire, the boon of god-hood had been a well-known fact. Several Archmages, Philosophers and Emperors had shed their mortal coil by ~~true understanding~~ of ~~reality~~, and though they were usually quite content with their small groups of self-harming devotees, the Gods saw that the living mages were headed down a path that could only end in death and destruction on an unprecedented scale. The deities more or less flat-out explained to their disciples what was going to happen, which led to hundreds of apocalyptic prophecies being heralded on the streets as the Fall neared. Many ranks swelled and several orders survived the Fall of Njord to start anew on other shores.

Throughout the history of the Empire, the boon of god-hood had been a well-known fact. Several Archmages, Philosophers and Emperors had shed their mortal coil by complete mastery of the greater runes, and though they were usually quite content with their small groups of self-harming devotees, the Gods saw that the living mages were headed down a path that could only end in death and destruction on an unprecedented scale.
