Organization Emblems

Most organizations across Estia give out small tokens to its members. The most common emblems are about 2 inches across, but both smaller and bigger versions exist. They are used primarily for identification, but it is not unheard of for a member to give their emblem to someone who has done a service for them as a symbol of their debt. The token can then be traded in for return favors or gold.

All insignias from the major organizations carry some identifying mark of the person to whom it was originally issued, as a way to trace the provenance of an emblem. This is not always a name, but might be a seal or a simple number.

As an example, a Pilgrim Knight might carry a 'true' emblem, made of precious metals and real gemstones as their identifying insignia, as well as a pouch of smaller, more symbolic emblems to use as currency.

The major organizations' emblems have almost become a secondary currency, and can readily be traded for favors and goods.

Designs

The emblems are heraldic devices, and can be made from a variety of materials. The designs are guidelines, and emblems for different ranks might be subtly different. In a pinch, a simple scribble on paper with the signature of a member could also suffice as payment to be later reimbursed.
