SUIKODEN/TRUE RUNE Question

[naanima]

A thought. If the Star Dragon Sword (Zodiac Sword) is a True Rune, and if it did indeed choose Viktor as it's bearer.... does it mean that Viktor like the rest of the True Rune Bearers is immortal?

... NOOOOOOOO! Don't separate the FLIKTOR!

But before the hysteria; does Trune Runes provide immortality? Afterall there has been no mortal True Rune bearers... although Riou and Jowy's postions are a bit unique. Would the two die of old age as a result of their runes being halfs of the same True Rune? I need confirmation here.

Immortality means that they don't age (like Luc, Leknaat.) Not that they can't be killed. IIRC, it does make a difference between whether it is attached to an object or a person.

As for Riou and Jowy, in the guides or something they had this long boring explanation of why they weren't immortal when Leknaat and Windy were, to judge from what people in the fandom were saying.

Ohh. I see. I'll leave the rest to the two of you. I shall sit back and digest the information.
