Was somewhere some emblem, flag or other graphical symbol, associated with Netheril as a whole or with any particular enclave? The only thing I can remember is a big "K" for Karsus, but I need something more distinctive.

For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

Finding the symbols of old realms unfortunately really hard. I've looked all over (one of the byproducts of running a campaign with an active chronomancer), and I can't find any beyond the dwarven empires in Dwarves Deep, plus the various realms of Shanatar from Wyrmskull Throne. I've asked Ed about the symbols and battle standards of the old elven empires, and have gotten back a reply about Myth Drannor. It didn't have a battle standard before the mythal went up, afterward it was: "a horizontal-long-axis oval of twelve twinkling white-haloed-in-purple manypointed stars, floating on a field (vertical-long-axis-oval) of deep forest green." (from Ed)
I don't know anything about Netheril's signs, and agree with Kuje that they probably haven't been published. You might wander over to Ed's thread and ask. You never know, one of the other designers that worked on Netheril might know as well. |
Doggedly converting 3e back to what D&D should be...
Sigh... And now 4e as well. |

The Netheril boxed set reveals little in the way of an *actual* symbol for Netheril unfortunately. Though specific enclave and regional symbols are "hinted" in in some entries.
Though I do agree with Hoondatha about making this a possible question for Ed.

| In Netheril, I think every enclave and every archwizard or VIP or great House in Netheril each had their own respective symbols and sigils so there isn't a list of symbols other than the symbols of the Shadovar lords and princes in Lords of Darkness and the Netheril trilogy. |
There will always be parting of ways which is never of your preference. |

I agree that for sure there was many individual sigils, but also some signs to show that someone or something is of Netheril or of a particular city must have been existed.
So, I'm going to ask this question to Ed. |

Symbol of Netheril?
