I don't even know what an obex is, what was the reference?

Well, it's the symbol of Tharizdun, in RttoEE. But I would like to know what it does look like. We have defeated those clerics, and I can't visualize their unholy symbol.

Are you sure he didn't mean obelisk?

You might want to slap a spoiler warning in the post title. It basically looks like two trapezoids, on smaller stacked on top of another one.

The holy symbol of WG4 is an "inverted, two-tiered black pyramid" "with bases to the north, points to the south" (p. 14,15), called an "obex" by some. This is illustrated on the monks' cloaks on the internal cover (p. 1), albeit in a stylised fashion. The symbol on this page's background is truncated such that it matches the shape of the Temple (see below). According to Gygax (Oerth Journal #12), the cult chooses its symbol based on where it perceives darkness. Right now, it's under the Temple; in former days they adopted the sign of the black sun.

I made a google search too, but what I found didn't look like a symbol.

Two trapezoides tacked ?

Code:

[color=white]
    __
   /  \
  /____\
  /    \
 /      \
/________\

Or

  ______
  \    /
   \__/
   /  \
  /    \
 /______\

?

[/color]
