This rune portrays the flayed pelt of a savage beast. In the remote past, young Dwarfs were required to prove their worth by going out into the wilds and returning with the pelt of a wild creature. The skin was then made into a personal banner to demonstrate the Dwarf's courage to his Clan. Over the ages Runesmiths have enshrined this tradition in the form of the Rune of Courage. A banner with this rune resonates with the power of duty and loyalty, further bolstering the resolve of the Dwarfs who bear it.
