The True Lightning Rune is one of the 27 True Runes.
Description[]
It is associated with the element of lightning, and all lesser runes of similar elements (Lightning, Thunder) descend from it. The rune played a part in both the First and Second Fire Bringer Wars in the Grasslands territories, and both times it was wielded by Geddoe. After the end of the First Fire Bringer War, Geddoe continued to house the rune on his right hand, but he kept it hidden and unused, even from his own squad, so as to not draw attention from Harmonia or other potential enemies who would seek to take the rune from him.
When the Second Fire Bringer War was beginning to envelope the Grasslands, Geddoe decided to reveal the True Lightning Rune and used its powers once again. He joined the Fire Bringer Army and put his rune to great use against the invading Harmonian Forces.
During a mission to rescue the Le Buque villagers, The True Lightning Rune is stolen by Luc and Sarah by utilizing Luc's True Wind Rune and Sasarai's stolen True Earth Rune, who subsequently went on to steal the True Water and Fire Runes from Chris and Hugo respectively. The Army pursued Luc and his team to the Ceremonial Site. At the site, Geddoe battled Yuber, who was tasked with protecting the True Lightning Rune. Yuber is defeated and Geddoe is able to reclaim his rune.
- If Geddoe is selected as the wielder of the True Fire Rune in Suikoden III instead of Hugo, then Hugo will bear the True Lightning Rune instead.
