Symbols and Artifacts:
in Culture:"Runic characters... check. Written in columns... check... Yes, I believe these inscriptions are ancient Elfese! Let's get inside, who knows what they've left for us!" -Recovered expedition logs from the body of Scholar's Guild Scribe Kenzo Tanaka, 419 CA.
Emblems, heraldry, decorative inscriptions, religious symbolism, despite the land being composed of a great many different races and cultures from all across Gaiatia, each of them knows at least one depiction of historically significant symbols or fabled artifacts intrinsic with the Everwealthy society they now share; Albeit their personal understanding of what some of these symbols imply is disrespectfully lacking at times. Even the least educated folk of the land know the image of a ram's head across an orange and white checkerboard is the nation's flag 'The Charging Banner.'. When one sees the figure of a Cross, they know it is analogous of Ancelon's claymore planted into the ground after his fabled defeat of Vile, sacrificing his life for the fate of the land and earning us a chance to fight for our lives in the Great Schism, rather than Vile's armies damning us all to extinction; The sword's shape now used as a badge of honor over a grave or to represent a hallowed place of worship and sanctuary. Hundreds if not thousands of unique designs implying just as many different factions and ideologies are present in Everwealth culture, and you would be wise to take account of as many as possible to avoid any unsavory interactions with the wrong people.
