[QUOTE="emeraldbeacon, post: 8557699, member: 7032019"] I'm thinking about the overall idea of national flags for the various factions within War of the Burning Sky... something to represent who the various lands are, present their typical colors, and the like. I think I have some decent ideas for the first three nations, but I'd love to hear other inputs for ideas to incorporate, or change to. [B]Ragesia's flag [/B]features three main colors: The black field on the right symbolizes the dark times they once lived in, through war and strife, which leads to the green field that not only symbolizes the unified lands of the north, but the skin of the native orc tribes that have united under this one flag. In the center is a symbol of the old dragon himself, emblazoned in red, and trimmed in silver to denote his pure and righteous claim on the throne. [B]Shahalesti [/B]mainly focuses on blue, representing the elves' mastery of sea and sky. A white sunburst sends golden rays towards the horizon, shining upon the land of the elves. [B]Dassen [/B]has an interesting flag, that changes from realm to realm. Omnipresent is a black field holding nine silver chain links, horizontally spanning the center of the flag. These represent the nine lands, and nine lords of the kingdom (it was originally a set of [I]eight [/I]links, but Steppengard inserted a ninth, larger than the others, when he ascended to power). While each link is independently powerful, they are imminently more so when united. The top and bottom borders of the flag change with each lord who flies it. The national flag is brown, while Duke Gallo's color is orange, and Lord Rego's, an ostentatious red. Steppengard's flag is a deep steel color, embroidered with fifteen stars, one for each of his children. These are my early thoughts. Does anyone else have ideas for pushing these designed further, or for the other nations? Do you think Gate Pass or Seaquen would bear their own flags? What about the Resistance army... how would they depict their forces? EDIT: Revised Ragesia, to be more in line with standard flag design (such as, animals that face right imply cowardice). [/QUOTE]
