Runereaders

The Runereaders are a specialized guild of elves from the Briarmarch, in Elssyia. They dedicate their lives to reading the shifting patterns of the Runewoods to predict future events. They have existed for many centuries.
==Traditions==
Runereaders are expected to devote their entire lives to the Runewoods. From as early as the age of 4, young elves study the ancient language of the Runewoods and on average are ready to begin reading them by the age of 28. Runereaders must also learn a number of skills related to caring for the trees, and are well-versed in many of the horticultural arts in addition to their fluency in the ancient Elvish language. 
Due to a combination of their isolation from the outside world and their extremely narrow, focused area of study, Runereaders are often uninformed when it comes to current events not directly related to what is said by the trees. Outsiders often find it very difficult to converse with a member of the Runereaders, who out of habit frequently pepper their sentences with ancient Elvish words and idioms.
