Wizard Shug had the idea to bring back the rune guardians after seeing the golems in Uzer. They repaired the guardians by using 20 pieces of rune essence and two specially enchanted emeralds, which Shug managed to enchant on their own. In his youth, he was seemingly well travelled, having travelled to the ruins of Uzer, Nardah and Lunar Isle. Nowadays, he spends the majority of his time asleep in his chair on the top floor of the Mage Training Arena.
