Rune can even manipulate his Companion bond with Brand through a clever way of lying. Sigils are a technology of magic and object that the users themselves control. Because Rune is in his element, he is in control. He is inside a building, and the golem is a mural with “fresh oil from its fangs like saliva” (p. He is able to take it down with relative ease. The first real monster Rune fights is a golem, a creature composed of anything. What is the difference between man-made and nature-made? Control. Is it a coincidence that the heir to the Sun throne resides where the sun itself rises and that his most challenging moment occurs where the sun sets? He refers to magic outside the control of people as “wild magic, a primal, planetary force-nearly sentient, composed of millions of independent parts” (p. Based on descriptions from the book, he appears to live on the east side of the city. He lives in New Atlantis, in a place teeming with buildings and bustle.
For example, Rune has sigils filled with fire, healing, shields, and the like. He values his sigils-man-made (Atlantean-made, technically) objects that scions can imbue with magic. Rune lives in the center of the man-made. He is the hero after all and can defeat any monster as long as he knows everyone is safe inside. By the time we the readers meet him, he has all but managed to lie to himself that he is no longer affected.
Most likely, Rune has been holding onto these events for many years-decades even. With so much pain and trauma, this does not simply vanish. It happened near the time of the Sun court’s downfall. When Rune was young, another person sexually assaulted him. While, yes, there does exist an explanation of Rurik in the book, there’s no reason he can’t also represent something else. Because the creature is strongest in nature, that is where Rune feels weakest. That being Rurik is a physical manifestation of Rune’s past trauma. Why is Rune taking the brunt of the impact from Rurik and the rest? I would like to offer an analysis. However, something more seems to be going on. Add the recarnates draugs and golems, and you’ve got yourself a disaster. This creature stalks Rune throughout the book. One of his biggest adversaries is a lich who calls itself (himself?) Rurik. The main protagonist, Rune, is witness to most of these attacks. Additionally, there seems to be an underlying theme of man vs nature present throughout the book. In KD Edward’s The Last Sun, the characters are increasingly attacked by a slew of monsters. Additionally, all quotes are taken from the Kindle edition of the book.) Groundwork Also, this post will contain major spoilers for The Last Sun by KD Edwards. (This will mainly just be me rambling for a bit.
