Warbanner

Warbanners are the standards, or flags, that identify an individual, whether he be a Force User or a Non-Force User, on the field of battle. The design, color, stripes, and charge of the warbanner help to identify individuals, while medallions identify those of leadership positions in the various clans or those that hold a Clan title.

Warbanners are created and updated by the office of the Herald. A member may design and submit a warbanner to the Herald's staff, however there is no guarantee that it will be accepted, as the Herald's staff are the ones who are in charge to design and uphold the quality of the warbanners.

Warbanner Example

A warbanner has a wide variety of options. Fabrics, colors, shapes, stripes and support rail colors unlock as you progress through the ranks of the Brotherhood, as well as other options being available to you based on positions served and Society ranks such as the Grand Master's Royal Guard and the Shadow Academy Society.

Warbanner options unlock at the following tiers of rank:

• Journeyman 2 - Journeyman 3
• Journeyman 4 - Equite 1
• Equite 2 - Equite 3
• Equite 4
• Elder - Grand Master

When you request your warbanner, you will be asked to provide a crest. Your crest is a personal symbol that represents you. Certain copyrighted materials may be denied as crests, as well as the use of unit logos - these may be represented on your warbanner in other ways, but you do not own your unit logo (and can therefore not use it as a personal symbol).

Warbanner Colors

Each rank tier unlocks new warbanner colors for use, in addition to all previously unlocked choices available for your choice of Dark Path or Light Path.

• JM 2-3: Red, Blue, Green, Orange, Turquoise Gray
