It was declared as Canon that Windy and Laknaat split the rune together, it's the only way to explain how the only two suvivors of the Village of the Hidden Rune own the two halves of the Rune they were sworn to protect. _________________ I'm going to get myself banned if I keep acting like a jerk... |

Bright Shield and Black Sword are actually unique runes, not true runes. The Rune of the Gate is a true rune. During seperation, the two opposing features of the rune, Entrance and Exit, would have been split between the two halves. When Bright Shield and Black Sword come together in one body, it brings th Rune of Beginning into that person, presumably. So, the person would possess three runes (or perhaps the coming of the RoB would seal off the other two). This is how the two differ. The coffee analogy isn't really a full explaination, it's just an easy metaphor to use. _________________ Daily Funny Award for May 1st, 2008 |

I was under the impression that the splitting of the Gate Rune is what caused Leknaat to go blind. I'm sure the division of purposes between Front & Back was either the product or method of separation. Either way, the end result is the same.
As far as the RoB, is it possible that other True Runes are divided into seperate unique runes as well? I've thought something like that might be the case with Zerase's and the SDS. |

So far, only the Rune of Beginnings is the only rune that comes as two unique runes. All other True Runes are complete and whole.
Also, if Laknaat was blinded by the ritual process to split the Gate rune, Windy would have been too. _________________ I'm going to get myself banned if I keep acting like a jerk... |

Not exactly, there could be any number of reasons why that might've happened to one and not the other. Whatever they did would've been rushed, as their village was under attack at the time, it wasn't planned. And I can't imagine they'd had any practice for doing whatever they did to split the Rune. An accident isn't too far of a stretch. Leknaat may have just gotten the brunt of it. If two people are in a wreck, the same things don't happen to both. One might get whiplash and the other might go through the window. For all we know, something may have happened to Windy as well, but maybe it was something that could be fixed, or just wasn't obvious.
I find it interesting that the RoB is like that. It's the only one to be that way out of the Runes that have been revealed, and to be honest I hope that isn't done to any in future games. Not without a really good reason anyway. That was so much of why II was awesome and I think a repeat would cheapen that. |

Well, the RoB governs wars and their outcomes. So it'd be natural that it's pieces would actually foster opposing sides in a conflict. _________________ I'm going to get myself banned if I keep acting like a jerk... |
