	For much of the next 1,000 years, The Binders coalesced into an organization of mercenaries using Vortex-based runic magic with ink tattoos. The mercenaries that were hired by the family eventually organized themselves into shrewd fighting merchants that could be used to further explore the [[Underdark]], combing it for clues that could enhance their power. Their group took on the old name of the Binder's unit, The Death Runes. It was one such Death Rune named Dazheel, Spawn of Alifanitax and demon commander of the Horde of Tru’av’kazh who had a breakthrough discovery in 2202. Through certain rumors heard in the city of [[Sharis]], he ordered his army to advance on a [[Benteak-Kune]] gathering in [[Tyedu]] where they were rumored to have an item called a Hammer of Creation, which was capable of making something called a stylus that could be used to carve runes magically into the skin. A mage in the city named Laramith sold him some information (at a great price) regarding the Hammer and its usage. Dhazeel suspected that Laramith possessed the authentic Scroll of Damar Binder, but could not be certain, so he wanted to check out the story by advancing on the Tyeduan tribe.

	It turned out that Laramith was willing to sell this information to others besides Dhazeel, and several armies began to converge on the [[Benteak-Kune]] all at once. Caught unaware, Dhazeel was captured by a small band of adventurers led by a Tyeduan human named Lolobe of Clan Fighting Eagle of the Benteak-Kune. To his surprise, the adventurers let Dhazeel live and took him straight to Laramith, where they acquired the Scroll of Damar Binder. After several adventures along the way, they followed the directions on the scroll and with the help of Theramin the Mikonator, who remembered the days when [[Runic Magic]] was still in use, helped them unlock the secrets.

	Dubbed as The Runic Awakening, this event saw the return of true [[Runic Magic]] to Avlis, derived from the Prime Nature and separate from all Vortex-based magics. Dhazeel, Lolobe, and Laramith became the first [[Saemilist]]s in the true sense seen on the planet in thousands of years, and the three of them were given assurances, protections, and riches beyond their dreams in exchange for developing and teaching their craft to the rank and file of The Burning Page.

	Founded in 2202, the Glyph Bringers are the newest part of the organization charged with spreading true [[Runic Magic]] first to The Burning Page and next to the world. Their founding marks the final realization of Teralatax's dream, Demon Lord Elira's orders, Jorko Binder's sacrifice, and Damar Binder's obsession. As such, the outlook and membership of this sect has expanded and within only several years it has become the largest branch of The Burning Page, both above and below ground. They now see themselves as the regulating organization of [[Runic Magic]] that is to shape how the art reveals itself on Avlis. However, this similarity to traditional magical regulation is where the group parts ways with The Fold of Nine. The Glyph Bringers value their roots as a mercenary trade organization and press for the evolution of that image into more of a magical warrior archetype. Recent philosophical musings by Lolobe hold that an individual's connection to The Prime Nature is sacred, and though the Prime Nature is not a sentient deity, it can imbue those who are in tune with it with great strength and power.

His group, of which he was the last one left, was made up of a wizard, a psionicist, a pathomancer, and himself, a saemilist. The explosion that ripped apart Magic made them all lose their powers for days, and through their research they figured out how to get them back by tapping into their own sources. For the saemilist, it was something he called a Prime Nature, the part of the old Vortex that went into the rocks and trees. For several years, the four traveled around teaching the other spirits how to gain their abilities once more, and eventually they found themselves chased by some of the Negerai Prime's demons. Just as the blue spirit hunkered down into the library where he was cornered by a hoard of glabrezou, he saw the stranger appear. He figured none of them had long.

	A scion of Jorko Binder named Damar Binder was the latest inheritor of the secrets of runic magic around the year 500 A.O.D. During his lifetime he successfully led armies and amassed followers to become a Demon Lord in his own right, and knowing full well his direction, he gradually conquered his way back to Teratalax's land and managed to find the library referenced in her now lost journals, which Damar heard about from a lonely sage he had killed. Unlike many of his ancestors, who merely passed down information, Damar turned if over and analyzed it. He theorized about it. When the means became available, he secretly researched it. In those musings, Damar came up with a novel idea: that runes could be created from objects placed on the ground, not just from ink, but there would have to be some method to link this arrangement of objects to a Vortex. After years of study and trials, Damar was ready to try out his theories, and he selected the original library location where it all started.

	He did not know for sure if his theory would work, but if it did, he imagined he would become not only famous, but powerful enough to take on the original Demon Lord, [[Kimonictinus]]. As he set his layout of objects within the library and stood where he believed the power would be concentrated, everything exploded in a flash of white light. He found himself in the same library with a wounded blue humanoid that he could not identify. The ground and ceiling shook as smoke and dust poured into the space. The wounded humanoid was no more than four feet tall but heavily muscled and his skin was covered with black scars in shapes and patterns he had never seen. They were definitely not Magya characters. Catching his bearings, he rushed over to the humanoid and cradled his head in his lap asking what happened.
