[ACCEPTED] Sk'akh religious symbols

[Zundy]

Type (e.g. Planet, Faction, System): Religious symbols.

Describe this proposal in a single sentence (12 word maximum): Canonise the Sk'akh religious symbols.

How will this be reflected on-station? Mainly a flavor thing but could easily be utilized for religious items (banners, jewelry etc.)

Does this faction/etc do anything not achieved by what already exists? There is no canon symbols, this would add them.

Why should this be given to lore developers rather than remain player created lore? Because it would effect many Unathi characters in game.

Do you understand that if this is submitted, you are signing it away to the lore team, and that it's possible that it will change over time in ways that you may not forsee? Totally fine with that KIDDO.

Long Description:

See idea -

Simplistic as most religious symbols tend to be. The base is a circle reflecting the "beinging and end, alpha and omega in a constant flow" with Sk'akh being the supreme being and sum total of all souls in the universe. I also chose the circle as it appears in the one image of the High Priest Yizra Unzi of the Orthodox Sk'akh and in the Tribunal symbol. I chose the sun for Si'akh as in the portrait of Juzida Si'akh he is framed by the sun's rays. I chose a circle within a circle for Aut'akh to represent the internal link they have with Oss (inner circle) which links directly to Sk'akh (outer circle). I played with the idea of using a cog or some such but that seemed just too cliche and not quite meta-physical enough. Plus Aut'akh aren't made of hecking cogs.

Thoughts?

FOR WEALTHY SK'AKH, MOSTLY SEEN IN NOBLE HOUSES AND CATHEDRALS/SCEPTS/CHURCHES:

 

 

and for those who are a little less capable of having giant intricate statues/busts/murals/paintings of our great Three Headed God, something a little more minimalist and reserved

a symbol capable of being worn, depicting the Warrior, Healer, and Fisherman

 

for Si'akh i definitely imagine things are far more physical, with less identifying marks on the body (unless you've burnt your horns off to really show your faith)

Something simple like a flaming ring that would be held up on a stick. What defenders of Si'akh hold up to guide wandering voyagers to their firebrand meetings/holdings, or maybe symbols of where Si'akh has been

 

AND for aut'akh, the two circles make sense. Maybe... overlapping circles, more like a venn diagram. 

TOTALLY like all the ideas though, you spurred my creativity into thinking about this ty zundy you hairy, beautiful man. I'll have to write something up for the wiki, but would love to hear more people talk about this.

These are cute.

Hey! This has been a long time running, but Shen and I are accepting this application. The premise for a circle for Sk'akh, as well as a couple of toying ideas for the other religions, fits well with some ideas I have for the species.

Application accepted!
