Hamuul Runetotem is an elderly tauren who knows [[Naralex]] from years back, Hamuul lives in Thunder Bluff and trains druids. Quite old, he rarely leaves the city, but those that have seen his skills know that he is not to be trifled with. Sometimes some wonder if he’s past his prime, or even afraid of Naralex’s fate. He likely has enough power to help heal the caverns, but he claims he is too old to travel that far. He’s hesitant to travel by [[magic]] to the area, fearing the magic of the caverns will trap him the way Naralex was trapped. He sends new druids to [[Nara Wildmane]] in [[the Barrens]] when he feels they’re ready for further training.<ref>''[[Lands of Mystery]]'', 186</ref>

Hamuul Runetotem lives in Thunder Bluff, where he is an important leader of his community. Considered by many of his peers as one of the most honorable and just druids in the world, Hamuul Runetotem is fervently dedicated to the Cenarion Circle and the protection of nature. Hamuul recently dreamed that there was a group of druids who were noble, but had lost their way. They had become servants of the taint seeping through the Barrens.<ref>''[[Dark Factions]]'', 131</ref>

{{comic-section}}
  +
Hamuul appears briefly in the ''[[World of Warcraft: The Comic|World of Warcraft comic]]'', when [[Varian Wrynn|Varian]] and [[Broll Bearmantle|Broll]] are taken to [[Thunder Bluff]]. Following their victory over a rampaging earth elemental in the [[Pools of Vision]], Hamuul invites them to his tent where he recounts the legend of [[Lo'Gosh]]. He then grants them the gift of a [[hippogryph]] feather. Although Varian is confused about the usefulness of the gift, Broll understands what the archdruid had really given them. They use it to summon a hippogryph to them and flee their slavery.
  +
  +
Much later, Hamuul becomes a part of the new [[New Council of Tirisfal|Council of Tirisfal]] as a representative of the druids. He aids them in their fight against [[Cho'gall]], being one of the many to give [[Med'an]] some of his power. Although a difficult fight, they are eventually able to claim victory.
  +
  +
{{novel-section}}
  +
Hamuul is a major supporting character in the novel ''[[Stormrage]]''. In the time since his first meeting with Broll, the two have become close friends. In fact, Broll considers the tauren his closest friend barring Varian and [[Valeera Sanguinar|Valeera]]. Hamuul is frequently Broll's confidante, especially in matters where the latter is troubled by disturbing visions and dreams. When [[Fandral Staghelm]] summons the strongest druids to [[Teldrassil]], Hamuul is surprisingly among them. He meets Broll after he lands, the two go together to the decided meeting spot. There, Fandral instructs the gathered that they would be aiding in the healing of the [[World Tree]], along with continuing to find a way to wake [[Malfurion Stormrage|Malfurion]]. Broll, however, starts to continually lose focus and lapse into vivid hallucinations. Hamuul covers him, pretending to speak with him in such episodes. He later suggests to Broll that the visions may have some meaning, as reluctant as his friend is to accept it.
  +
  +
Hamuul's role in the story is minimal until the moment Broll suddenly decides to leave the congregation, pursuing an alternative means to save their teacher. Understanding that what his friend may be planning could have a greater effect than Fandral's own plans, the archdruid covers for his disappearance. However, Fandral is quick to discover the other's actions, and even finds that he had stolen the [[Idol of Remulos]]. Fandral gives Hamuul a disapproving look, believing the tauren had aided Broll in this, but does not say more. Nonetheless, it is enough for the other druids to shun the archdruid, save [[Naralex]] and a handful of others. In order to not cause trouble for his friends, Hamuul avoids conversation with them anyway.
  +
  +
Following a break between attempts to heal Teldrassil, Hamuul decides to lay a hand on the tree itself. Shockingly, he is able to hear whispers from the tree, and not like the usual way druids listen to nature speak. He then realizes the World Tree is going mad, and attempts to tell the rest of the [[Cenarion Circle|Circle]] of this. Fandral, however, dismisses his claims, stating that it is only the old tauren's wariness. Fandral then apologizes to him for condemning him for Broll's actions, and instructs Hamuul to rest earlier than the others. The tauren, however, is unconvinced his tired mind was playing tricks on him.
  +
  +
Eventually, he discovers Fandral's duplicity, having been driven mad by the [[Emerald Nightmare]] and Teldrassil itself. [[Shandris Feathermoon]], Naralex, and he are silenced before they can act against him, as he easily overpowers them. Fortunately, Malfurion arrives not soon after, freeing the three as he fights Fandral. The three are then able to warn the other druids, who although not entirely believing them, are of reasonable enough mind to discover the truth themselves. Hamuul is, obviously, one of the first to immediately side with Malfurion, and later plays an important part in their final conflict against the Emerald Nightmare. While many of the others take their fight into the Dream, Hamuul stays awake to defend their bodies against the apparitions that appear in the waking world. After these events, Hamuul takes up the human [[Lucan Foxblood]] as his student to further assist him in utilizing his unique abilities.
  +
  +
Following their hard fought victory, Hamuul is among the many to bear witness to the marriage of Malfurion and Tyrande.
