The rune priest is an elite creature of the Fortress in Might & Magic: Heroes VII add-on, Trial by Fire. Its upgraded form is the rune patriarch.
The Rune Priests are a special caste among the Dwarves, recruited from children born with golden eyes -- the mark of their god, Arkath -- who are selected and brought up as battle-priests. Rune Priests brand their skin with intricate runic patterns to channel the elemental powers of the Spirit World through their own body. OffBck
