Untainted

This article or section contains information only featured in the RuneScape novel Legacy of Blood, which is generally considered canon.

The Untainted are a group of Guthixian barbarian lepers who guard the last known stores of rune essence. They live in the Mountain of Fire in the Wilderness.

The Untainted are all strong warriors. They are all very old, and include barbarians famed for their roles in the sacking of the Wizards' Tower during the Barbarians' war against the wizards.

In 164, two barbarians and a wizard came from Misthalin in order to get some rune essence. One of the barbarians had been poisoned, so the Untainted treated her according to their laws of hospitality. However, the other barbarian killed one of the Untainted and stole the rune essence and ran, so the Untainted gave chase, not realising that the wizard who accompanied the outsiders was among their numbers. Following fights with a Kinshra embassy en route to Varrock, they attempted to trap the Kinshra and outsiders in a labyrinth. Rather than fight, the barbarians gave themselves up and were taken to Rellekka to face punishment for the murder and theft.
