House Runeweaver

House Runeweaver is a prominent aristocratic family of Grevalon in the Aeon of the Champion story series, esteemed for its involvement in techmaturgy (combined technology and magic), as well as for producing generations of talented politicians and educational administrators. Due to shared interests/fields of specialisation, it is a fierce rival of House Spellthorne; both families funded rival data storage technologies during the Information Age (220 - 196 BGY); Runewaver embraced Runeform while Spellthorne sponsored AD instead. The family was also a major financial backer of MagiTek and Mageguard during their initialisation years, though has grown increasingly critical of the latter in recent years due to perceived government overreach in its activity, leading to inefficiencies. The family is also staunchly conservative in its attitudes to civil matters, believing that Grevalon should remain traditionally magocratic; this has been reflected in its hostile attitude to the Council of Commons (In -1100 BGY Lord Runeweaver attempted to have the Commons re-integrated into the then-halved Council of Arcanists), and has also been hostile towards the concept of consitutional monarchy due to possible sovereign abuse. The family has also attracted criticism for comments made by its head, who at one point suggested that he was ready for a 'second Civil War' in which the Magelords (magic-using minority) and Protectorate (non-magic-using majority) once again fought over the issue of magocratic rule in the city-state.

Sovereign Dump
The family's opposition to the royal family also led them to reject the new currency,
