The Sovereign Rune (覇王の紋章; Haou no Monshou) is one of the 27 True Runes.
Description[]
One of the True Runes, it was formerly a relic of the Holy Kingdom of Harmonia before its caretakers, the Rugner Family, took it for their own when they initiated their bloodless revolt and formed the Scarlet Moon Empire. It is believed to be the symbol of the royal family.
Befitting the name of Supreme Ruler, it can suppress the abilities of other runes, and has the power to nullify the magical power of other runes. It was used to negate the effects of Windy's Black Rune when she attempted to control Barbarossa Rugner during the events of the Toran Liberation War.
The rune also has the secret ability to transform the owner of the rune in the giant three-headed Golden Hydra. Since the fall of the Scarlet Moon Empire, the whereabouts of the rune are unknown.
The rune was sealed into the Dragon King Sword. This fact was a closely guarded secret that only those in the Rugner family direct line of descent knew. For that reason, Windy, who was searching for the 27 True Runes, was unable to locate it.
