The Runeblade is a master of both magic and melee. Using arcane runes and precision blade arts, the runeblade weaves through enemies with the power and certainty of a typhoon. Are you capable of delving into the ancient runic secrets?

Leviathan and The Terrun Calibre

Long ago, there was a great creature called Leviathan, not to be confused with the sea serpent of the same name, it was a mighty and proud creature that fought against any adversary both Light and Dark. To aid in this quest, it gifted it's knowledge and experience to mortals who would stand by its side. Gifting them the balance between swordsmanship and arcane runes, those mortals became runeblades. Time has long since passed and the Great Leviathan has all but disappeared from the worlds. But one group remains devout to Leviathan's Teachings and keep the path of the Runeblade alive; The Terrun Calibre. A reclusive order who trains under the caste leader, the Anchorite. They are the mouthpiece of Leviathan and continue its teachings. Will you pledge your blade to learn the secrets of times long passed?
