Flag of Starblaydia
The Flag of Starblaydia is a version of the coat of arms of King Oberyn, the man who united ancient Starblaydia in the first Century AD.
According to legend, King Oberyn wielded "an impressive, now mythical, sword that the Romanics knew as Fulguritus Acinace, the Lightning-struck Sabre". Known as Oberyn Starblayde, the emergence of heraldry in the Daii soon required that Oberyn defined his coat of arms. This was made into the official Flag of Starblaydia on August 23rd, 1946, Starblaydia's Independence Day.
The flag consists of a three horizontal stripes, coloured black (top), purple (middle) and white (bottom), with a stylised golden eagle displayed in the centre The flag proportion is 3:2.
</div>The original flag of Starblaydia was more simple. A field of purple - like Oberyn's - taken from the colour of the Starblaydi Orchid, with the cross of Starblaydia's patron saint - Saint George - as a canton (a square in the upper-left corner). It was originally put in place by the Britannican Empire in the ninteenth century to mark Starblaydia as a colonial province, though was only in place for some fifty years.
The burning of the Starblaydi flag is not considered an offence, merely in bad taste. Should anyone, particularly a foreigner, burn the 'black, white and purple' they are considered cowardly; setting fire to a mere piece of material instead of showing the courage of attacking Starblaydia itself.
