Dragon Rune Knight

Dragon runes are the essence of an actual dragon. Not simply written Draconic as many think. Through whatever means you have gained the trust of a dragon to the point they give over their very essence to you as you learn their runes they wane. To become a rune knight is to go down the path of ascending to be a dragon.
