| The Andoran National Crest |
People identify their affiliations symbolically, from the colors of their uniforms to the specific looks of their coat of arms. As a region within Andoran, many of the symbols used in Darkmoon Vale are not specific to the region. Colors: Black, blue, and gold feature prominently in Andoran and, by extension, within Darkmoon Vale. In Andoran, black signifies honor, blue denotes freedom, and gold symbolizes courage. Red, as seen on the symbol and uniform of the Diamond Regiment, naturally represents blood, which in turn indicates a willingness to sacrifice.
Mascots: The eagle of Andoran denotes courage and freedom. Most eagle representations in Andoran show the mighty animal clutching a sword and branch of holly. The sword shows that Andoran is willing to fight to remain free, while the holly indicates honesty. In the Darkmoon Vale region itself, images of falcons and wolfs are prominent. Wolves play a significant role in the lives of Darkmoon Vale residents, while the falcon is the ancient symbol of an old human family in the area. The Falcon and Wolf sidebar further explains the significance of these animals.
Motto: As indicated on its full coat of arms, Andoran’s motto is “Efrir ep Bered,” Ancient Taldoran for “Free and Ready.”
