Has anyone figured out what Rune's story is?

[MorroWeiner]

Minor unimportant spoilers below.

In the Ragged Flagon Cistern, there's a guildmember named Rune. You can ask where he got such an interesting name, and he'll say that a man found him on the shore or something, and that he'd been in a shipwreck up north, etc. He doesn't know where he came from and so he goes by Rune for the rune necklace he had on when they found him. You can tell him you'll come back if you find anything out, but it gives you no objective. I found a pile of shipwrecks to the north (about four ships piled on top of eachother) at a location called Pilgrim's Canyon. I thought for sure this was it, but there's nothing interesting in any of the wrecks. Anyone know anything further?

I think it's simalar to the Courier's quest that didn't make it into Oblivion as there is nothing under miscelanous quest or side quest in the guide book even though the dialouge is there.

[MorroWeiner]

This idea angers me

[unokitsune]

This idea angers me

Me too and I have the guide book. Oh if you restore the theives guild to it's former glory you'll have a dark elf thief initiate that just has some dialouge. He talks about the

Morang Thong being destroyed and disbanded as a result of the collapse of red mountain

[MorroWeiner]

Ah [&@%!] that sucks. My morrowind character was in the Morag tong. Probably died in the volcano eruption.

[Trelares]

I thought about him too and also think that is some skipped content, either his rune necklace is falmer

Spoiler:

like you discover in the thieves main quest

or maybe even atmoran origin. It would be awesome if he is the first atmoran that reached Tamriel since a long long time.

I found a note on a shelf in the Cistern that referred to failed attempts to locate info on Rune's past; I thought for sure reading the note would activate a quest but it didn't.

The only other Runed thing I can think of off hand is the

Spoiler:

Runed Lexicon you get from the transcription of the Elder Scroll

could that be related? Anybody try taking that to him?

Once again a rushed part of the game to get it out for 11/11/11.

This makes most sense. I too found a note like phoult37 did, and nothing happened with my journal.

Oh well, maybe with a patch or something they'll end up finishing all the rushed stuff ? idk.

[phoult37]

I hope so. While on the subject of thieves guild, have you ever read a note on a table in the Ragged Flagon that discusses a shipment of glass arrows? Its on the table where Delvin usually sits, by the bar. I tried locating the shipment but I couldn't find it. Any idea if they can actually be found or is it just extra stuff to mislead the player/something that wasn't ever completed?

OH OH OH MAYBE HE IS SKAAL!

Perhaps he is DLC...or a...wait for it...

Spoiler:

Dwemer...Yep...half Nord...half Dwemer...or Talos reincarnated

Perhaps Rune is just so much of a badass...he doesnt have parents!


I kinda hope some of these loose ends are tied up in some Expansions (NO NOT HOUSES! Expansions!)

A Rune based DLC? I like it!

Nope. Glass arrows are nice though ...

[phoult37]

Yeah and the note showed up when I was like a level 5 so I started freaking out thinking a I could get some...no luck though

[Musicman247]

Just re-read the note from Athel Newberry (No Word Yet) and noticed that it says they have erased themselves from history.

As I was going into the Ragged Flagon what should appear on my loading screen but a bust of what appeared to be the Gray Fox (wore the Gray Cowl, at least) which made me wonder if Rune's parents have somehow come to possess the Gray Cowl and have been erased from history?

Man you shouldn't say things like this, you're getting me way too excited for something that probly won't happen! Haha but that would be so sweet if the Gray Fox made a reappearance

Erm the curse of the grey foxs cowl has been lifted if you don't remember? The bearer's real name is no longer erased from history and mind.

Oh yes very true. Good call.

It could have been...um...re-cursed when...um...that thing did......

New Idea
His parents ticked off Nocturnal somehow and she erased them from history like what happened with the Gray Cowl.

Nobody saw that, right?

[Theificka]

I want there to be something with this:

An expansion that takes you to find out Rune's past and probably results in you going to Nocturnal's realm.
