Does anyone know if the gods have specific holy symbol designs that are mentioned anywhere. Specifically Mithaniel and Erollisi?<div></div>

<div></div>I believe there was a <a target="_blank" href="message?board.id=lore&message.id=10188">thread</a> a while back that included some speculation on some symbols being related to the gods on the second or third page. Perhaps that thread might have new significance with information recently released as part of Fallen Dynasty's lore.This image has some of the symbols. I believe this was taken in the Rathe mountains, but the symbols also appeared in many other places.<img src="http://everquest.allakhazam.com/scenery/rathemtn-innoruuk.jpg">Here is another image I grabbed and enlarged. It is from the old <a target="_blank" href="http://everquest.station.sony.com/power/prologue6.jsp">Planes of Power website's prologue.</a> A Tier'Dal messenger from Innoruuk shows these signs to Bertoxxolous and makes him rather upset. They might just be random symbols someone picked for this piece of art, but there are some that coincide with the pic above.  I apologize for the poor quality.<img src="http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a307/staak/pop_symbols.jpg">There are three symbols that I have found hard canonical evidence linking them to a deity:The bottom-left symbol in both of these pics is that of Rallos Zek. Found on banners in many EQ1-era Orc, Goblin, and Ogre camps.The candelabra is the symbol of Brell Serilis. He wears one on his helm in his sketch from EQ1.The large spiral (top right in the top pic, bottom right in the bottom) is Cazic-Thule. It appears on the walls in his temple.One of these others might be a symbol of Marr but there's no way to know for sure that I know of, short of having a Lore Dev come and shed some light for us.<div></div>

<DIV>Not all the gods have representing symbology to them. Most of the symbols you see in the screenshots in the above posts were a RACIAL symbol, but a lot of them were indicative of the main god that race worshipped.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>however, the Erudites didn't worship one particular god over any other, so that symbol is hard to decipher, as it was seen all over Paineel and Erudin.</DIV>
