Along with the power of eternal youth, the rune is also said to judge order and chaos, calling back to its role as representing sword and shield. However, when separated, the rune does not provide eternal youth and the use of the individual rune's powers could end up taking the life of both bearers.

The rune is said to appear at critical turning points in history, placing the burden of destiny on two heroes. Two such heroes appeared during the war between the [[City-State of Jowston]] and the [[Highland Kingdom]], which began in 428. The Bright Shield Rune went to [[Genkaku]], fighting for the City-State, and the Black Sword Rune went to [[Han Cunningham]], soldier of Highland. Realising the danger and hardships the runes could cause, the two friends eventually sealed the runes in [[Toto Village]].

Over 30 years later, the runes would be discovered by Genkaku's [[Hero (Suikoden II)|adopted son]] and [[Jowy Atreides]], influencing the [[Dunan Unification War]] with the two friends on opposing sides in the conflict. This use of the rune risked both bearer's lives. Jowy Atreides was fully aware of the consequences but was determined to create a lasting peace through the rune.
