Warbanners are personal banners, also known as standards or flags, which can be displayed on a member’s dossier. They can choose to decorate it with a crest or emblem of their choosing, one which represents them as an individual. These warbanners are customizable and offer a wide range of options in addition to the aforementioned emblem, such as a selection of rank-specific colors, decorative stripes, and banner shapes.

These options allow a member to create and display a personal visual brand on their member dossier. The Warbanner graphics are created and updated by the office of the Herald. A member may design their own using the Warbanner template available in the Herald Resources and submit it to the Herald's staff for approval. All warbanners are subject to the same prerequisites established on this page

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, the Aurora Collegium of Sciences and Inquisitorius.

Warbanner options unlock at the following tiers of rank:

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).

Additional Options

A warbanner Sash is reserved for members of the Dark Council or the Dark Summit, and their staff. They are given in the warbanner color and with the trim selected for the warbanner support. The left Sash holds the position and the right Sash holds the office the position is/was held in. Only members who have served six months or more in these positions may request Sashes.

Custom Warbanners

Those who attain the rank of Elder or Grand Master may request custom warbanners. This can include custom shapes, colors, or patterns of their choosing. It is even possible to request more extravagant ornaments. Examples of previous requests included dangling vines, a skull ornament, and spotlights. The Herald and assigned staff will deliberate on the feasibility of specific requests and reserve the right to deny requests deemed unacceptable or too demanding.
