As long as the use of war as a driving force in civilization remains, the importance of runes as used by individuals or groups cannot be eliminated.

===Fixed Runes===
Runes usually exist within sealed orbs, allowing their transference to an individual by way of a [[rune master|runemaster]]. In rare cases, however, there are those who are born with a rune in their body. Such runes cannot be transferred to an orb, even through the hands of a rune master. Such runes are usually called "fixed runes."
Some runes are known only to exist as fixed runes while some may also be found and sold in sealed orbs for use with the aid of a rune master. It is said that those wielding a fixed rune can do so with greater prowess than someone who had the same attached from an orb. Some people born with a fixed rune can be treated with suspicion, such as the magician [[Sarah (Suikoden III)|Sarah]] who was ostracized as a "witch" for her abilities.
Though the power of such runes is incomparable to that of the [[27 True Runes]], they are similar in the respect that the rune bearer has been chosen by the rune they bear.
