Hey there everyone!\u00a0 We’re down to our second to last sigil from this set, and I think you’ll agree that this one is a fun one.\u00a0 We needed a symbol to show off the Icarus storyline in the Tellest Visions art book, and Shandranar, the floating continent that he came from, seemed like the surest bet for that.\u00a0 So we were left with a gorgeous new sigil.<\/p>\n

Shandranar, as I’ve mentioned, was a huge floating island in ancient Tellest history.\u00a0 It was the home of Icarus Callatuil and his family, and a mecca for many of the elves of the planet.\u00a0 It was also the bastion of protection for the wind crystal, which was also responsible for the flight of the mighty island.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Shandranar’s iconography marries a lot of different tenets.\u00a0 It displays the floating island itself, as well as a tree, denoting the elves affinity for nature.\u00a0 Finally, it shows the wind crystal in the boughs of the tree, demonstrating that a certain harmony is required for everything to work in order.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Shandranarian tapestry feels strange to behold.\u00a0 Since Shandranar doesn’t exist anymore, this serves as either a point of pride, or a long forgotten memory.\u00a0 Perhaps it existed in some distant place as a keepsake to an elf who once visited the floating continent.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

While there are only a few old residents of Shandranar that we have seen (or their distant descendants), it doesn’t seem like we’d see this tapestry put to use as a battle standard anytime soon.\u00a0 The old ethereal-winged tribe of elves have likely integrated into other sects as the world spread them apart.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here we have a more traditional canvas flag.\u00a0 It looks like something you might find in an old, buried chest somewhere, although if a character found it in Tellest’s modern era, it probably wouldn’t have held up this well.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Anyone who could remember the ancient sigil might be able to reproduce it.\u00a0 Maybe that’s what we have here in this case with the painted version.\u00a0 Perhaps someone is trying to send someone a message to another survivor of that bygone era…<\/p>\n

And of course, no sigil post would be complete without an phone background version!<\/p>\n
