#heronoja
This is the ceremonial version of the flag used for the Waxeroi people. The Waxeroi people are a mixed Heronoi-Arnadjanai people, gifted with the beauty of the former and the strength of the latter, but exiled from their homeland to escape a purge where they were blamed for the Thralondian invasion.
Dark blue represents hope, white represents faith in the Gods.
The flag incorporates elements from three different cultures: Heronoi, Norse, and Arnadjanai.
The full Moon and white fern are symbols of the Heronoi, showing that the Waxeroi consider themselves just as Heronoi as their mainstream kin.
The unicorn in the right is a symbol beloved by both Arnadjanai and Heronoi, suggesting that the Waxeroi are the best of both worlds.
The elaborate design in the middle mixes Norse symbolism and Rakolan traditional art. It incorporates two or three runes:
* ᛝ - yngvar (Rannarisk) or yquowara (Heronoi), for Freyr and his blessing
* ᛒ - bjarkan (Rannarisk) or bajarikan (Heronoi), for Baldr and his courage
* ᛟ - udhal (Rannarisk) or jothoru (Heronoi), for Odin, a god of knowledge feared by the Heronoi as a bringer of doom. Because he welcomes them as outcasts into his arms, and they are ready to face every challenge and overcome them.
The lines branching from the curve’s right represent paths, and the Waxeroi’s painful descent to freedom and happiness. The stars along the paths, numbered nine to the sacred number of the Norse, represent their rise from being outcasts into being the inspiration to many people.
This is the traditional dress worn by Heronoi women and girls. Their attire may look Mycenaean, but the Heronoi themselves are aliens. And they are very obsessed with art and beauty, to a very annoying extent.
From left to right: Wiresa, Komata, Teraxari, and Komawe. Wiresa is an archer with blue hair, Komata is a sweet princess-like fangirl who loves unicorns, Teraxari is perhaps the most mature of the four, and Komawe is Komata’s older sister.
