Dear valued clan leaders!

With this update I hope to help the Knight class find their proper place in your line-ups by adding passives to their offhands.
Additionally, 10 new Runes have been added to the Rune Circle to allow for a more diverse playstyle if desired.
Further highlights of this update include 2 new items, an experimental 'idle' mode for endless battles (letting your dwarves fight at a certain stage without increasing difficulty), some QoL improvements like highlighting Veteran dwarves and several bug fixes.
Known issue: I know that acquiring gems (especially early on) can be quite slow and I have some ideas to address this issue in a future patch.
