Avatar Symbol

This symbol is an ancient symbol used by the peoples of Midras (known now as the Midras Ruins). It represents the ancient Avatars and their Principles and associated Virtues.

Three curved blades are intertwined as though delineating three linked circles. The grips and guards form a triangle in the center of the symbol that surrounded a large, clear gemstone. Six additional gemstones – each of a different color – are fixed about the sword hilts, forming the outline of a bowed triangle.

This symbol during the Obsidian Wars era was also seen as a warning in ages past by bards in the Drachvald and tribes of the Midmaer.
