The Star Dragon Sword (星辰剣, Seishinken), also called the Sword of Night (夜の剣, Yoru no Ken) by Zerase, is a supporting character in Suikoden, Suikoden II, and Suikoden III. The Star Dragon Sword is an incarnation of the Night Rune and is known for slaying vampires.
|
The Star Dragon Sword is an incarnation of the Night Rune that resided in the Cave of the Past at Qlon Temple. It had a face carved into its hilt which allowed it to talk and held a will and personality all of its own.
It is one of the few weapons that can kill supposedly immortal demons, such as vampires. The sword was very prideful, perhaps due to its nature as an incarnation of a True Rune, and prone to nagging and it was also large, making it difficult to handle by an ordinary warrior.
When Viktor and the leader of the Toran Liberation Army traveled to the Cave of the Past on Fukien's advice, they came upon the sealed Star Dragon Sword. After first throwing the group into the distant past upon awakening, when the sword learned that Viktor aimed to kill Neclord, the Star Dragon Sword decided to join them.
Wielding the Star Dragon Sword, Viktor was able to defeat and ostensibly destroy Neclord, as the Star Dragon Sword was an incarnation of the Night Rune and Neclord was merely a servant of the darkness.
For the rest of the Gate Rune War, the Star Dragon Sword remained with Viktor. Following the end of the war, the Star Dragon Sword was presumed missing, alongside Viktor.
|
Following the Gate Rune War, Viktor had brought the sword to Jowston before abandoning it in the Cave of the Wind, finally tiring of its bickering.
Once Neclord reappeared, however, Viktor reluctantly returned to the Cave of the Wind with Kahn Marley and the leader of the New State Army to retrieve it. Enraged at having been abandoned, the Star Dragon Sword attacked the group but was subdued and agreed to be used again after Viktor groveled for its aid.
Later, it helped in slaying Neclord once and for all together with Sierra Mikain. It also inspired the blacksmith Tessai to join the New State Army.
Following the Dunan Unification War, Viktor continued to travel with the sword for a time before eventually tiring of its sassiness once more and "gifting" the Star Dragon Sword to Edge, after Edge managed to use the sword to vanquish a vampire.
Edge would use the sword to earn a living, wagering it in duels against passing travelers, much to the sword's consternation. Once Edge was defeated by the Fire Bringer, both he and the Star Dragon Sword would be pressed into service. Following the War of the Champions, the Star Dragon Sword would encourage Edge to travel south in order to find and defeat a new foe.
The Star Dragon Sword is fought as a boss enemy in Suikoden II. It has some ranged magic but is otherwise not a particularly challenging enemy for a party to defeat.
