The '''Rune Priests''' of the [[Space Wolves]] are the equivalent of the [[Librarian]]s of other [[Space Marine Chapter]]s. They practice the [[Tempestas]] psychic discipline.{{Fn|28}}

==Overview==

Rune Priests are often referred to as '''gothi''' amongst the Vylka Fenryka, as well as sometimes being referred to as, pagan shamans, ice-shamans{{Fn|10b}} or [[Casters of Runes]].{{Fn|8}} Rune Priests are combat [[psyker]]s using their psychic abilities to aid their brothers on the battlefield; off the battlefield, they are the keepers of the [[chapter]]'s [[librarium]] and store of knowledge. The major difference is that Rune Priests do not believe their psychic abilities are derived from the [[Warp]], but rather from the animistic spirits of their [[Adeptus Astartes Homeworld|homeworld]], [[Fenris]], channelled through totems and runes on their [[Runic Armour|armour]].{{Fn|2}}{{Fn|3}}{{Fn|4}} These traditions are descended from the shamanistic rituals of Fenris's native tribes, and have remained unchanged for countless centuries.{{Fn|3}}{{Fn|4}}
