The Highland Kingdom (ハイランド王国, Hairando Oukoku) was a nation located on the Northern continent. It forms part of the setting for Suikoden II.
Information
The Highland Kingdom was founded in the year 237. In that year, Mauro Blight received the Beast Rune and the title of King from the Holy Kingdom of Harmonia for his work in quelling civil war in Harmonia.
Highland has always maintained an intimate relationship with Harmonia but, on the other hand, had been involved in repeated military conflicts, for many years, with the City-State of Jowston. King Agares' ascension to the throne in 434 allowed for a cease-fire to be agreed on between the two nations and an uneasy peace settled in for a while.
Flag
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 a recurring motif.
