This is a question that went in about a very specific part of the Settings: symbols used by the people of Yliakum.
So, which things in Yliakum have exclusive symbols and which draw from RL?
I saw a list of RL animals that exist on Yliakum already, basically this is a request for a list of RL-like symbols.
Here are some examples:
- Symbols for each of the magic ways(hope "Dark Way" isn't a pentagram ;) )
- Is there any symbol for writing monetary values like the "$" in RL?
- What are the symbols for war, peace and justice?(We don't have olive branches or white pigeons here)
- Are there symbols used by crafters among other professionals to represent their jobs? RL Examples: psychologists symbol, etc.
If you have more specific questions about symbols, you can post them here as well. I know it might look like as a minor curiousity, but it can actually give some nice guidelines for designing guild symbols, among other content, by the community.

- Symbols for each of the magic ways(hope "Dark Way" isn't a pentagram ;) )
These seem likely, and I would think that a darkness glyph would be the apropriate dark way symbol.[/list]

If I recall correctly, a heptagon is used to symbolize the Crystal.

The magic ways are represented by a specific color, not a symbol since the symbols are specific for each glyph.
The tria symbol would logically be a triangle. ::)
All I really know about symbols is that there is a symbol for Laanx .. and I assume Talad has his own set of symbols as well.
