File talk:Flaming Scepter Banner.jpg

This is a banner found at the Nolani Academy. Help me to interpret this. My guess would be that this is the banner of the Flaming Scepter, and that the 4 symbols represent the 4 types of magic (top to bottom): I'm open to other interpretations. --Tetris L 04:56, 13 Oct 2005 (EST)
 * Denial - Shield
 * Aggression - Paw
 * Destruction - Fire
 * Preservation - Healing Ankh


 * Nice! I was thinking Warrior, Ranger, Elementalist and Monk, but I like your interpretation, it fits with the game lore and it also doesn't leave Necro and Mesmer out. --Karlos 07:55, 13 Oct 2005 (EST)


 * First I thought it might be the gods, but then I noticed there are 5 gods, but only 4 symbols. No symbol for Lyssa.
 * On a side note, it is interesting that for some (not all) professions the attributes can be linked to the 4 magics. The 5th attribute (the main attribute) would be kinda like what the keystone is to the 4 bloodstones. --Tetris L 08:07, 13 Oct 2005 (EST)


 * Let's put a mention of it in the Flaming Scepter Mage article and mention that it's a possible interpretation of the banner (with a picture of the banner too). --Karlos 09:20, 13 Oct 2005 (EST)


 * Then again, shouldn't the banner of the Flaming Scepter have a flaming scepter on it? :) --Karlos 09:22, 13 Oct 2005 (EST)


 * Wait a second! That banner is all over the place. It's always there by the henchmen. In every twon, right above Little Thom's big head. I think it has nothing to do with the Flamign Scepter order, though I am not sure what it has to do with Henchmen. --Karlos 02:24, 14 Oct 2005 (EST)


 * I was looking for a banner flaming scepter on it, but found none. The banner by the academy obelisks shows a symbol very similar to the symbol on the Shield of the Wing. It doesn't look like a flaming scepter either. --Tetris L 06:27, 14 Oct 2005 (EST)


 * I think that's their banner because it's on the Obelisks and no where else. --Karlos 10:10, 14 Oct 2005 (EST)

It is a bit clearer to me now. These are the official profession symbols, not symbols of the 4 types of magic. Why two professions are missing is still unclear. The banner is usually found near the henchmen. Note that in the early part of the game there are only 4 henchmen, Alesia, Orion, Reyna and Stefan. They have the 4 professions as shown. Dunham and Claude are not added until Yak's Bend. But even after YB the banner shows only 4 symbols. -- 19:50, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
