I believe that's a wyvern, and it's the symbol for Gwaren.

That's so? So easily confused with Calabria's symbol though frown smile . Maybe you should've given Gwaren's wyvern another colour razz smile .
Riiiight. Calabria's symbol which you've never seen and which looks completely different, as opposed to Gwaren's wyvern which is actually green and which you're looking at in weird lighting.

Yep, we'll get right on changing that to make these sorts of snap conclusions a bit less likely.

is it wrong to speculate or bring it up?
Not at all. It's in your natures. My only objection was to the assertation that the symbol was easily mistaken for another one that you've never actually seen. wink smile

It looks like Bigfoot crossing a stream with a salmon in his hand.

Are you sure it's not a Bear holding a shark?

So after all this...both regions basicly have a golden dragon/drake as a symbol...*yawn*
A golden drake and a green wyvern aren't both a golden dragon/drake.
Right. A drake and a dragon and a wyvern are different things in DA.

But if the repitition of draconic symbols in heraldry make someone yawn, they'd best not go to the Tevinter Imperium. Or Nevarra. smile smile

Heavily influenced by martial arts movies are they?
Heavily influence by the Old Gods and, you know, the actual existence of dragons.
