+++ True Earth Rune
Previous Bearers: Unknown
Current Bearer: Sasarai
Child Runes: Earth, Mother Earth
The True Earth Rune that governs over the natural element of Earth is possessed by the Bishop Sasarai of Harmonia. The Rune is one of Harmonia's enslaved runes, with Sasarai serving as a cloned host. In 475 of the Solar Calendar, the True Earth Rune was briefly stolen by the Bishop Luc, though it was later recovered from a Sindar ritual site. It grants the bearer to manipulate the very earth itself for devastating attacks as well as soothing support magics.
+++ True Fire Rune
Previous Bearers: The Flame Champion
Current Bearer: Geddoe, Chris Lightfellow, Hugo (Hugo in the Manga)
Child Runes: Fire, Rage
The True Fire Rune which governs over the natural elements of fire was once possessed by the hero of the grasslands, the Flame Champion, circa 425 of the Solar Calendar. It grants the bearer the ability to use devastating fire magics that can burn through anything. During the Harmonian-Grasslands War, the Flame Champion lost control of the Rune and caused a fire which raged across the Grasslands, decimating both the Harmonian Regular Army and the allied forces of the Grassland Clans. The aftermath of this caused Harmonia to sign a secret fifty year peace treaty. At the end of the peace treaty, it became apparent that the previous Flame Champion had given up his True Rune and elected to live out the rest of his days with his wife. In Suikoden III, three different people can eventually become the bearer of the True Fire Rune: Chris Lightfellow, Hugo, or Geddoe. In the manga, Hugo, the son of the Karayan Chief at the time, accepted the responsibilities of the Rune and led a united army of Zexen, Grasslanders and Harmonians against the Bishop Luc. Briefly during the war, the new Flame Champion lost the Rune, but recovered it just prior to engaging with Luc in battle
+++ True Lightning Rune
Previous Bearers: Unknown, Geddoe
Current Bearer: Geddoe, Hugo (Geddoe in the Manga)
Child Runes: Lightning, Thunder
The True Lightning Rune that governs over the natural elements of lightning was once a treasure of the nation of Harmonia. Exactly how Geddoe came to possess the Rune is unknown; it is possible he was once a member of the elite that held the Runes for Harmonia or even that he stole it from its previous bearer. Whatever the case, he would escape Harmonia with the Rune and would lend his power to the Fire Bringer, under the command of the Flame Champion, in the war against Harmonia. After the battle, he sealed the True Rune in his body, revealing its existence fifty years later when he served the new Flame Champion. He briefly lost the Rune to the Bishop Luc, but later recovered it at a Sindar ritual site. The rune grants the bearer powerful lightning attack magics that can cause devastating damage.
+++ True Water Rune
Previous Bearers: Wyatt Lightfellow
Current Bearer: Chris Lightfellow, Hugo (Chris in the Manga)
Child Runes: Water, Flowing
The True Water Rune which governs over the natural elements of water first entered history in the hands of a man known as Wyatt Lightfellow. It allows the bearer to manipulate water and ice utilising their properties for attack as well as potent healing magics. During the Flame Champion's war against Harmonia, Wyatt used the powers of the Rune to assist the Fire Bringer against Harmonia. After the end of that war, Wyatt visited numerous locations, sealing the Rune to prevent its misuse and potential capture by Harmonia. Wyatt would later try to reclaim the Rune under the name Jimba to protect it from Luc, but was seriously injured when the power of the Rune was unleashed at the last of the seal sites. When Wyatt perished, the Rune was taken by his daughter, Chris Lightfellow, who chose to assist the new Flame Champion. Although the Rune was briefly captured by the sorceress Sarah, Chris would recover it from a Sindar ritual site.
+++ True Wind Rune
Previous Bearers: Luc
Current Bearer: Unknown
Child Runes: Wind, Cyclone
The True Wind Rune which governs over the natural elements of wind is the only elemental rune currently unaccounted for. The Rune was stolen from Harmonia when the bearer, a young boy named Luc, was kidnapped from Crystal Valley. Aside from the control of the wind, the Rune is capable of being used for minor summoning, as its bearer, Luc, was charged with protecting the Magician's Island using it (it is possible that this summoning, however, was done using a Pale Gate Rune which Luc was later shown to possess or simply through the usage of sorcery he learnt from Leknaat). Luc would use the Rune only once before leaving Magician's Island for good: when he used it to wipe out a unit of Harmonian soldiers interfering in the Dunan Unification War, causing the Bishop Sasarai to retreat from the location of that particular battle. In 475 of the Solar Calendar, he sought to destroy the Rune using the power of the other four elemental True Runes. However, thanks to the new Flame Champion, Hugo, and his Fire Bringer, Luc was stopped. The ruins where the ritual was occurring were destroyed after the final battle, and Luc perished. The current whereabouts of the Rune are unknown.
