Translation of Elemental Symbols

In the language of the Ancients, these symbols convey

meaning both literal and abstract. Combinations of these

symbols compose new symbols much the way blue, red, and

yellow can be mixed to produce the secondary colors purple,

orange, and green.

But Be Warned! — The ancient language and its grammar

have never been fully decoded. Haphazard assumptions will

produce translation errors.

EARTH

EARTH — Literally, represents stone and metal. A

more subtle translation means "strength and

defense." The most benign aspect of this symbol

means stability, and at its lowest incarnation it

translates as "crushing doom." Typical coloration of

this symbol is brown, red, or dull green.

WATER

TER

TER — Rivers, lakes, streams, and ocean.

TER

A more abstract translation is "change." This

symbol's noblest meaning is purification,

while its lowest aspect represents stagnation.

It is rarely associated with the death symbol in the form of a

whirlpool. Colors associated with this symbol are blue, green,

and gray.
