Hello to everybody!

I wanted to manifest my presence in the forum with a question: what does Dementlieu's crest looks like, in your opinion?

It's been almost two years I've been playing in Dementlieu, and I was trying to imagine what could be Dementlieu's heraldic crest.

I was thinking something like...
Two snakes hissing at each other?
A stylized dame looking at herself in a mirror?
Two snakes (again) each one biting the other's tail?
A paintbrush?

I'm at loss... Is there an officila source? Or, even better, can you suggest an idea?

Thank you!

PS: sorry for any spelling error you might notice...

Check out The Fraternity of Shadows website, in the Odds and Ends section. I've drawn up my version of the Falkovnian flag, and the Dementlieuse flag, featuring a lighthouse, symbolizing the Lord Governor, and five stars, symbolizing the rest of the Council of Brilliance.

Also check out the other Heraldrics, by RL author Chris Nichols! In the future, I might also add Richemulot and Borcas flag, but I'm not sure how it would be yet.

EDIT: Forgot the link: The Fraternity of Shadows It's also in my signature...

Oh, I already knew the Fraternity of Shadows (the site that almost makes me feel like Kargatane never went back to Darkon...), but actually I was still reading their reviews...

Thank you for your help! :D

Given the domain is dominated by the Council of Brilliance and sees itself as the most learned of the relams I concure that its crest ought to feature some source of light or illumination. I think I'd prefer a sun to a lighthouse though.

A lighthouse guides ships safely into harbor. The sun is too bright to look at directly - possibly concealing just as much as the night.
