V

V-- (name varies from player to player) was a Fremennik who discovered the Stone of Jas and the art of Runecrafting in the First or Second Age, and thereafter founded the Moon Clan. Some time after this, he ascended to godhood via unknown means.

He is mentioned in the Moonclan Manual, appears in a flashback during While Guthix Sleeps, is briefly mentioned by Sliske after Fate of the Gods, and set to appear in the Hero's Welcome quest.

Discovering the Stone of Jas
V stumbled on the Stone of Jas in the Lunar Isle mine at some point during the First or Second Age, and touching it caused his "mind to unlock the potential of magic", also causing him to grow from a short and stubby human into one of average size. The stone was then "instantly removed by those who walk a higher astral path", leaving behind what would later be dubbed rune essence.

V soon discovered that the rocks where the stone was found had become the rune essence, and that he could change them into "the elements of the universe itself" by focusing his mind on them. He and some other Fremennik then went and created a large number of altars around the world, starting with the Astral Altar. These altars could be used to create runes, which were previously only available in the limited quantities that Guthix gave out. At one point, they were even able to create an altar capable of making any rune at will.

This discovery of Runecrafting created a schism among the Fremennik, with some believing that since runes were a gift from the gods, crafting them was blasphemy, while others believed that they should craft runes and use magic to better themselves. This eventually caused a split between the two factions, with V and his followers going to Lunar Isle and founding the Moon Clan after the other Fremennik turned violent. The Fremennik then went and destroyed the entrances to the rune altars, rendering the Moon Clan unable to runecraft, but their isolation on Lunar Isle and continued practice of magic eventually led to V and his followers surpassing the need to use runes to practice magic.

Ascending to godhood
V thereafter spent the rest of his life attempting to relocate the Stone of Jas, but he was ultimately unsuccessful in his search. What exactly happened to him after this is unknown, but at some point he ended up ascending to godhood via unknown means, and seemingly left Gielinor, whether by his own free will or after being banished by Guthix. He is set to return to Gielinor in the Sixth Age as part of the Hero's Welcome quest.

Names
His name differs from player to player, although it always rendered as simply V-- in the Moonclan manual, and Sliske merely refers to him as V after Fate of the Gods.
