The high temperature smithing of rune was known to the chaos dwarves who swore their allegiance to Zamorak during the god wars a millennium ago.
These dwarves were capable of harnessing the devilish heat of the lava to further harden their armours, galvanizing the metal to channel the energies of the god of chaos. The metal is so refined that it distorts the lightwaves around it akin to a modern stealth bomber, appearing slightly transparent. Altogether, a full set of hardened rune outclasses unhardened rune by +10 armor and +9 prayer.
This ancient art has been rediscovered by brave adventurers deep at the heart of the Lava Maze.
Do you dare follow in their footsteps?
