The Dark-Rune Anvil

I did some digging over the book a bit ago, it would appear that crafting of runic weapons and armor requires a Dark-Rune Anvil. I certainly don't have any sort of thing around here, but I do know a place that may.

Within the depths of Stratholme is a large slaughterhouse, it is where Baron Rivendare has called home for the time being. The Dark-Rune Anvil should be located there, and from it, you shall temper the blade!

I have learned a lot, and I thank you plenty friend! I will continue my studies and perhaps one day we may be able to outright nullify our enemies equipment through my research.

Go, and venture into the depths of that place, and claim what is yours, oh and if anyone asks, we haven't spoken!

<The Anvil's presence is intimidating>.

<A humming, radiant energy comes from the surface of the dark metal, its energy is almost mystifying to your mind. As you stand before it, the knowledge of runes swells within your mind, and guides your hand. With the materials provided, you begin the process of tempering the Runeblade>.

<After the process is complete, you feel whole, you feel complete. You can feel sheer power flowing from the blade, it is calling you, it is urging you toward destruction. Within that moment, you lose all knowledge of the processes which drove your hands to create such a weapon, it's touch within your hands is euphoric. You were made for this very moment, you have found your purpose on this world>.
