Runa

Runa is the wife of Kynthelig. Man consider her to be more pleasant and Kyntheligs better half. Her skill with a bow is great and she is known to be able to hit her mark from far away.

Appearance and Character
Striking is how Runa's appearance can be summed up. She looks like she could have been born in the far south her looks are so fair. She has deep green eyes, and light brown hair that is kept in a braid. She has a lithe form that is well muscled. She is not overly curvy but she is still quite beautiful. She has a smooth voice that commands power and persuasion.

She is the antithesis to Kynthelig's cold demeanor. She is much friendlier and kinder than her husband. She has the ability to solve conflicts without bloodshed. Many clansmembers prefer to go to her rather than her husband for issues. Kynthelig does not mind this as it gives him more time to contemplate.

Early Life (417 A.C.-433 A.C.):
Runa was the only child of Olaf and Skari. She was born on a clear but cold day in the ice rivers. Her mother, stayed to raise her while her father and the chieftain, Radovan, went to hardhome to fight in the war. Both were slain leaving Skari alone to raise Runa.

Turmoil in the Ice rivers ensued as challenger after challenger fought for the chieftain position. Eventually a new one was found.

When Runa was old enough she was taught by her mother in how to shoot a bow and arrow. She practiced with it all day long until she could hit whatever mark she chose. During this time she helped settle a dispute between two brothers of the clan who were arguing about a kill. She tactfully settled the dispute. Her skills as an orator have shown brightly ever since.

The Crippled King-Present (433 A.C.-Present)
News of the Crippled King being crowned hit the Ice-Rivers like a giant club to the face. Skari was killed in a dispute. Eventually the Ice rivers succumbed to the will of the crippled king. One day while out scouting she say an eagle in the sky far higher than even she could shoot. Then she met him. Kynthelig. Piercing red eyes looked through her as the man approached. She had heard mumrerings of the greenseer chieftain but this was he, in the flesh. She lowered her bow and spoke to him for several hours. Over the next few months they met at that same area until Kynthelig took her to be his wife.

Ever since then she has been chieftess of the Nightrunners. She has settled many disputes for their clan. Even more uncomfortable dealings with Giants have been dealt with by her with Kyntheligs support. She is very curious what it is like to fly and she has asked Kynthelig to explain many times but he found he could not.

In recent years she has felt fome unease from Kynthelig. She can see that the cirppled King's ideas for war have concerned him despite his silence on the topic. She hopes that whatever occurs in the future it will be in their favor.
