THE FLAG
Name
Gruenberg's state flag is known in Rukialkotta as 'Frek Niawaf Rambutan' (lit. The Guiding Eye). The name derives from a nickname first applied to the very first national flag. This in turn comes from the traditional name of the constellation depicted on all Wenaist flags, thought to have been coined by early explorers who used the stars to aid their navigation. The name was only formally adopted in The 651st Year under one of the provisions of The Formalisation Of Language Act.
Components
There are three distinct components to Gruenberg's flag, each significant in its own right.
The eight purple circles are common to all Wenaist flags. They show the star sign that, in mythology, was created by the Four Sages casting sacred stones into the sky. Purple circles are to be found everywhere in Gruenberg, and the symbol has been used on every flag Gruenberg has ever had.
The dark green background has traditionally been another common feature of Gruenberg flags over the years. The colour has no religious or political significance, but is unofficially acknowledged by many to be the 'national colour'. Most national sports teams wear dark green, and the colour has been incorporated into all military uniforms.
The red and gold bands that occupy the top left quarter are the official standard of the Woltzten house. Their incorporation into the state flag has been more recent, although at one point they were featured more prominently. Their symbolism is unknown.
