Warbanners are the standards, or flags, that identify an individual Dark Jedi 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.

Warbanners are created and updated by the office of the Herald. Under no circumstances is a member to design and submit a warbanner to the Herald's staff, as they are the ones who are in charge to design and uphold the quality of the warbanners.

Warbanner Options

The Warbanner of a Guardian (the lowest rank in the brotherhood that is able to request a warbanner) will be much less ornate than those of higher ranks. As one progresses through the ranks, more elaborate styles become available. Also, position in the Brotherhood does not exempt one from receiving more ornate options. Warbanners are specifically designed to be based off of rank and not position. For a complete listing of the different options by rank, see the Warbanner Guide.
