Hello!\u00a0 Wow, it’s been a full two months since the last sigils, give or take a week or so depending on whether you’re talking about our golden sigils, or our last true sigil for Versali-Virai.\u00a0 Today we’re looking at a sigil for a city we’ve been in before, although only once, and it wasn’t exactly a great time.<\/p>\n

We’re looking at Sungarden, the human capital of Daltain, and a lavish place if ever there was one.\u00a0 Sungarden is marked by beautiful flora, with the most notable being arrangements of roses that people will see everywhere.\u00a0 The roses have been bred for longevity and resilience.\u00a0 These flowers (unlike the ones we have on Earth) are hardy and long-lasting, and the city has used them as their endearing symbol.<\/p>\n

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

Sungarden’s sigil is an orange or gold trio of roses upon a blue field, which the nobles of the city will insist represent prosperity, fine leadership, and beauty.\u00a0 It’s just as likely that some artist drew something simple and those running the city let pretention run with the rest of the legend.<\/p>\n

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

Sungarden residents are known for things beyond their affluence.\u00a0 They also detest magic, and have gone to great lengths to scrub it from their city except where absolutely necessary (for instance, for help with trade, shipping and transportation).\u00a0 Little do they know, the roses they love so much were initially strengthened by magic, although the magic has most likely diluted till now, leaving the roses strong enough on their own.<\/p>\n

As a side note, most Sungardians would absolutely not stand for a broken, chipped version of their sigil to be on display as you see above.\u00a0 And potholes?\u00a0 Forget about them.<\/p>\n

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

Sungarden makes their wealth in many ways, but one cannot say that they aren’t hard workers\u2014at least those from the merchant district.\u00a0 A good deal of the barons own fleets of ships that run the Sungarden banner high.\u00a0 If they so needed it, or cared more for protection than money, Sungarden could have a very powerful armada indeed.<\/p>\n

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

Here we go with the last two bits of sigil goodness.\u00a0 Our painted versions of the Sungarden sigil look just as cool as any of the other ones, and the blue background is so soothing.\u00a0 Now that’s not to say that I’d want to go and live in Sungarden.\u00a0 They might be a little too hoity-toity for me.\u00a0 Then again…there’s that whole thing about the potholes.\u00a0 The Sungarden sigil looks really great plastered on your phone’s background, so if you want to grab it, here’s your chance:<\/p>\n

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

It’s appearance in Transformed<\/em> certainly won’t be the last time we see Sungarden.\u00a0 There’s been some ideas rooting around in the ol’ noggin to see if we can’t work on something.\u00a0 But for now, we’ll have to see where we go.<\/p>\n

I do believe that this is our second to last sigil in the set that we’ve been working on.\u00a0 We’ve got one more to show off which you’ll get your hands on in just three weeks.\u00a0 Until then, get out there and enjoy some other fantasy, or look through the Tellest catalog<\/a> or Tellest World Anvil<\/a> and see what other cities there are to explore!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
