:the official seal of the
Stervian State.
The eight branches visible underneath the black circle represent
the eight branches of the Polar Star.
As seafarers, ancient Stervians adopted the Giant Sea Turtle
(Eylfalas in Stervian)
as their national symbol.
This very special species, bearing a star-shaped pattern on
its back, is able to find its way during thousand-kilometer
long migrations through oceans.
The eight-point star represents navigation skills and the
four small eight-point star represent :
- the 4 winds
- the 4 cardinal points
- the 4 main qualities according to Stervian traditio (honour,
justice, bravery and self-sacrifice).
The official motto of
the State (Senatus PopulusQue Stervianum) is visible below.
It means "The Senate and the People of Stervia"
and is only present on official symbols of the state (for
example on the State ensign as "S.P.Q.S.")
