Beast Rune

The Beast Rune (獣の紋章, Shishi no Monshou) is one of the 27 True Runes. It is the national rune of the Highland Kingdom and appears in Suikoden II.

Suikoden II
The official story tells that when the Highland Kingdom split from the Holy Kingdom of Harmonia, the country was presented with the Beast Rune, one of the 27 True Runes. However the truth is that the Beast Rune moved to L'Renouille of it's own accord and the truth was covered up and the rune's movement presented as a gift.

During the Dunan Unification War, Highland Prince Luca Blight plotted the destruction of the world by releasing the Beast Rune, invading the City-State of Jowston and slaughtering the citizens of Muse City in order to awaken it. Many Gold Wolves appeared in Muse City as the Beast Rune manifested itself there. After Luca Blight's death the rune was re-sealed in L'Renouille Palace and just before the end of the Dunan Unification War, Leon Silverberg released the Beast Rune with his own blood. The rune manifested itself as a two-headed silver wolf but the New State Army managed to defeat it.

Since then, the rune's whereabouts has been unknown.
