Well I said I was going to do it, so here it is. Symbolism - Part 3 is chronicled!
Symbol: the Elemental Star (The Elemental's Emblem)
Owner: the Elementals
History/Meaning: the Elemental Star was created by The Ancients at the beginning of the Age of Armament as the two factions of ES and Elementals began to take form. It contains an inverted picture of the Elemental Island, with the different Elemental Sections pointing away from the center while the center of the star contains the three Pure Symbols of Truth, Charity and Peace. This is to show that the Elemental powers emanate from both the center of the Island (and therefore the center of the Elemental's power) but also from these three other powers. It, and it's variants, adorn the majority of all Elemental owned military, social, cultural and economic assets and is proudly worn by all Elementals.

Owner: Truth
History/Meaning: nobody is sure when the All Seer, or any of the Pure Symbols, were designed or by who or why. However, it is now the commonly held belief that they were designed at some point in the earliest stages of the Age of Elements. The All Seer appears to represent an open eye which goes with its owner - Truth - as it is all revealing. Its name agrees with this idea.

Symbol: The Helper
Owner: Charity
History/Meaning: The Helper is another Pure Symbol and, this time, is owned by Charity. Its design is one of open arms and represents the all including and all helping nature of Charity. The owner of the hands (or even if the hands are based off of of someone/something) is unknown.

Symbol: the Peacekeeper
Owner: Peace
History/Meaning: the Peacekeeper is the final Pure Symbol and its design is that of a piece of corn waving in the breeze. It is well known that a piece of corn has always been associated with peace since ancient times but it is not known whether this symbol came from this idea or was the origin of it.
