The World of Suikoden
The backbone of the Suikoden world that allows the existence of the universe, True Runes are the equivalents of gods in the Suikoden world. Wholly sentient and possessing their own will, each of the True Runes holds immeasurable power, and many wars have been fought over them in the past. True Runes are often sought by the powerful and influential due to their shared property of granting immortality to those who bear them. All bearers of True Runes stop aging and become immune to disease and all other natural causes of death, though they can still die from physical trauma such as accidents or murder. All True Runes are equal in their overall power, but some have abilities that are more suited to combat than others.
Several True Runes have featured in the Suikoden games or lore so far; the entry on the 27 True Runes contains a list of their holders as well as a brief detailing of their histories and powers.
