Suikoden
The Village of the Hidden Rune is a secluded community which guards the Rune of Life and Death. The village's purpose is hidden from outsiders, who are encouraged to leave as soon as possible.

Some 300 years past, the village was attacked by Windy, who was searching for the Soul Eater. The village was decimated during the conflict but the rune did not fall into Windy's hands. The Village Chief passed the rune to his grandson, Ted, and distracted Windy long enough for the child to escape.
