Just before this war started, fighting between Highland and the State was pretty much limited to minor border skirmishes. But was it about 30 years ago? Highland and the State fought a great war against each other.

The Highland Kingdom (ハイランド王国, Hairando Ōkoku) is a nation located on the Northern continent. It forms part of the setting for Suikoden II.

In the past, the Highland region existed as part of the southern territories of the Holy Kingdom of Harmonia. The Highland Kingdom was founded in the year 237. In that year, Mauro Blight received the Beast Rune and the title of King from Harmonia for his work in quelling civil war in the nation. Although ostensibly a reward for faithful service, the lands were granted with an ulterior motive; to provide Harmonia with a buffer zone against rebellious states, such as the Scarlet Moon Empire.

Highland has always maintained an intimate relationship with Harmonia. Since the establishment of Highland, the two nations have always been in alliance. However, that does not mean that trust is very high between the two. Although Harmonia is willing to support Highland with reinforcements, they will also not hesitate to send spies to infiltrate the country.

The flag of the Highland Kingdom is white, with blue tones. The Beast Rune, which was bestowed by Hikusaak along with the title of King, is also a recurring motif, represented by the white wolf as a symbol of masculinity and nobility. (more...)

Demanding to know if the rune had been found, Zerase chided the Falenan royal family for its incompetence before disappearing without a trace. She would be seen again when the Prince uncovered the Dawn Rune in the [[Barows Faction|Barows]]' mansion, remarking that the Prince had better live up to the expectations of the rune, or she would kill him before vanishing once again.

-As the [[Sun Rune War]] began, the Sindar ruins at [[Ceras Lake]] had been uncovered, Zerase appeared following the vision shown in the sealed room. She would reluctantly accept that the Prince's bearing of the Dawn Rune was no small twist of fate. Stating that she would answer no questions beyond her own name, especially not about the Sindar or the vision that was just viewed, she agreed to oversee the Prince's handling of the rune, thus joining the [[Imperial City Recapture Army]] as a powerful magician.
