A rune seeker is an individual who seeks out and studies ancient symbols known as runes. Runes are a form of writing that was used by various Germanic peoples in Europe during the early Middle Ages. They are believed to have originated from the Elder Futhark, a runic alphabet that consisted of 24 characters. The role of a rune seeker is to explore the meanings and significance of these symbols. They delve into the historical context in which the runes were used and analyze their inscriptions to gain insights into the beliefs, culture, and practices of these ancient societies. Rune seekers possess a deep knowledge of runic alphabets and the different systems that were used to write runes.

Story:
In the world of Europa, six empires rule the world. The leaders of each empire climbed up the completed Tower of Babel, and drank from the waters of the Oasis, transforming these men and women into godlike beings. The empires are ruthless, always at war with each other and oppressing their people.
When you were young, your mother read you bedtime tales about mythical runes that were vital for the balance of the world and its elements, and gave their owner unbelievable power to change the world. It was heresy at the time, but your mother wanted to give you hope in such a broken world. Yours was a happy childhood, until your hometown was invaded by Gaulian troops. You were sent into the basement while your mother and father tried to defend their house, costing them their lives. You eventually ended up in the town of Kastelgrad, a city in the Neutral States, that are self-managed by mercenaries and adventurers, trying to make ends meet.
On the sunset of your 18th birthday, you have the opportunity to become an adventurer in your own right, and you decide to see if this heresy you grew up with is true or not.
Setting:
Runeseeker takes place in Europa, an alternate history version of Europe, Western Asia, Northern Africa and the Middle East, where the Tower of Babel was completed an old empires from the old age never died, with some fantasy elements.
Gameplay:
Runeseeker is a dungeon crawler akin to older text adventure games, as well as the more modern Etrian Odyseey and Persona Q games. Using a style more akin to a board game, you travel across the dungeon, getting into battles, solving events, getting items, hearing exposition, and collecting items.
Battles are akin to the Dragon Quest game with a unique twist - the actions that you and your party can take are given to you each turn in a hand of cards. Deck Management is an important part of the game.
You and your party members can be one of 28 classes. Each classes have their own passives and actions, which are given through level ups. Each character has one trait. You can create your character, choose a starting class, as well as any of 101 traits.
You will get items, equipment and special items called relics which you can equip that will give you more actions during battle, can change your stats, or can completely change the game in some cases.
Gameplay
At the beginning of the match, each commander can place 3 Units on any tile, then waits for the map to be randomly generated. After the map is established, Units will either be boosted or debuffed according to their surrounding elements.
The reason for this is because the surrounding terrain carries the properties of the elements and these elements can affect a Unit's passive stats according to the principle of the Four Elements: Earth - Water - Fire - Air.

Players from both sides will place their champions wherever they wish on the map, then, the remaining tiles will randomly become terrain tiles.
During the Command Phase, commanders on both sides can use their Runes to command units and manipulate terrain changes. During the Action Phase, terrain and units will follow orders from their commander, and perform an action as assigned. This action can be attack, defense, transformation, fusion, or summon.
The match ends when one side destroys all enemy units. If the Runes are used up before that mark, the commander will lose control and the Units will attack automatically with programmed actions until the end of the match. After more than 3 rounds, the Astronomical Tower will activate the "Land of Chaos" mode, increasing the power of all Units to force the match to an end.
To emerge the victor, one needs to understand the game’s systems. Let's have a closer look into the inner workings of Rune Seeker.
Tokenomics Overview
Here are the three most important things you should remember about our non-inflation tokenomics:
A. Free-to-Play - does not reward players with tokens
Notably, unlike other GameFi that are currently available, players do not receive any $RUNES through gameplay. This also means that people won't have to worry about $RUNES becoming saturated if a lot of new players enter the market and their investment is affected.
B. No token generation during vesting
During the first 1.5 years, 45% of the total amount of $RUNES will be circulated in the market, and distributed monthly. Of which, 40% will come from initial investors who contribute resources to make this game possible, and 5% will be locked in a liquidity pool & CEX listing.
C. Seed Investor can participate in a special staking program
We created a series of bonus mechanisms specifically for those who stay, creating a more balanced game theory model where the seller would generate additional benefits for those who hold. Token of investors in the Seed round (and only investors in the Seed round) will act as shares, receiving dividends from advertising & in-app purchase revenues, and a part of the marketplace's fee.

Rune Seeker Builds Next Generation Strategy Card Game on Avalanche
Explore the world of Norse Mythology, rediscover the power of runes and an entirely new storyline from Rune Seeker. The next-gen strategy card game just announced plans to launch on Avalanche.
As a simultaneous, turn-based strategy card game, Rune Seeker combines the tactical depth of card games with the ownership potential of games built on blockchain.
Card games represent an enormous opportunity for blockchain integration as one of the most popular game styles in the world, with an estimated $750 million in revenue in 2023. Trading card games have a real opportunity to return value to their players. Prior to the world’s digital transition, trading card players owned their cards, free to trade and sell collections over time, building value along with their enjoyment of the game.
Web2 games like Hearthstone brought about a new life for trading card games in the digital era, but left ownership behind and players want it back. Ava Labs is extremely excited to be helping games like Rune Seeker, who chose Avalanche to provide the speed and scaling solutions required to bring their game to millions of concurrent users.
Rune Seeker goes beyond innovation on ownership with new gameplay factors like terrain and runes that combine into an incredibly wide variety of gameplay.

Rune seekers possess a deep knowledge of runic alphabets and the different systems that were used to write runes. They are skilled at deciphering inscriptions and interpreting their meanings, often using comparative studies and linguistic analysis to unlock the secrets of these ancient scripts. The study of runes is not limited to linguistics and history; it extends into the realms of mythology, spirituality, and divination.
Rune seekers explore the mythological associations of each rune and connect them to ancient deities and cosmic forces. They also use runes as a tool for divination, casting or drawing them to gain insight into the past, present, or future. Rune seekers may choose to specialize in a particular runic system, such as the Elder Futhark or the Younger Futhark. They may also focus on specific regions or periods in history where runes were prominent, such as Viking Age Scandinavia or Anglo-Saxon England. In recent years, there has been a resurgence of interest in runes and runic symbolism. Many individuals are drawn to the mystical and ancient nature of these symbols, seeking to incorporate them into their spiritual practices or personal lives. As a result, rune seekers play a crucial role in preserving, studying, and sharing knowledge about runes, helping to ensure that these ancient symbols continue to be understood and appreciated for generations to come..
Reviews for "The Journey Within: Self-Discovery through Rune Seeking"
1. Jessica - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with "Rune Seeker". The plot was convoluted and confusing, making it hard to follow along. The characters felt flat and one-dimensional, lacking depth and development. Additionally, the pacing was off, with long stretches of nothing happening followed by sudden bursts of action.
