History[]

Like many of his kind, Runas is a nightborne who was exiled from Suramar City and, without the Nightwell's nourishment, began to wither. To sustain himself, he hunted down blue whelps near the Azurewing Repose. After being confronted by an adventurer sent by Stellagosa, Runas asked for forgiveness and offered to help the Azurewing, who were under attack by withered and suffering from an unusual loss of strength. The Azurewing's leader, Senegos, was unconvinced of Runas's intentions.

Runas led the adventurer and a projection of Senegos to the Ley-Ruins of Zarkhenar, where a group of nightborne were pulling energy from the ley lines that converged there. He asked the adventurer to retrieve some mana jewels from the nightborne to fight off his hunger. In exchange, he told them how to disable the nightborne's mana siphons to re-energize Senegos's mana pool.

After taking out the nightborne group's lieutenants, the adventurer attempted to defeat their prince, Ael'Yith. However, Ael'Yith escaped and initiated an assault on the Azurewing, having decided they were an even more potent mana source than the ley lines. Runas returned to the Azurewing Repose in an attempt to warn them of the attack, but he came too late. At this point, Runas's mana withdrawal had advanced to an extreme degree. He bid farewell to the adventurer and thanked them for letting his last few hours mean something, then withered away.

Senegos dedicated an entry in his magical tome to thanking Runas.
