Flame Champion and his Rune.

Post by sarady »

In the Suikoden 3 manga volume 4, Yun explains to Chris how Wyatt partially sealed away his Rune. He sealed away the Rune's power in the Sindar ruin but kept back enough of it to remain ageless. In the game when the Rune destabilized after the seal was broken, the area became a frozen sort of dungeon.

This destabilization seems similiar to the explosion/fire that killed so many troops at the end of the first war. Was it due to the Flame Champion trying to partially seal away his Rune, or was it just a tactic he employed to force Harmonia to sign a secret 50 year peace treaty?

It wasn't a tactic really. The Flame Champion simply lost it and unleashed the full force of the rune. His army was facing a huge Harmonian force and it was certain his side would lose, too.

By 'lost it' do you mean he lost control over the Rune or that he lost control of his emotions, thus letting all hell break loose?

I was under the impression that he had gained a measure of control/mastery over the TFR.

Both. He lost a hold of his emotions, which led to him losing control over the True Fire Rune.

So exactly had such an affect on him to make him lose control? I'm a bit rusty on the details, but was Harmonia about to take over the Grasslands at that point?

Yeah, they sent an overwheming army that would have annihilated the Grassland army.
