Trivia
- As part of the Rune of Beginning, the Black Sword Rune and the Bright Shield Rune represent the struggle between Shield and Sword in the creation myth of the Suikoden world.
- The name of the rune might be referencing the Elric saga by Michael Moorcock. In these novels, the main character Elric wields a black sword called Stormbringer which is embedded with red runes. There's also a song by Blue Öyster Cult called Black Blade whose lyrics were written by Moorcock.
