All faithful citizens of the empire recognize the sign of the Anointed One, a vertical beam crossed with a horizontal beam approximately one third of the way from the top. The followers of Nebro corrupt this form by placing small discs at the top, left and right extents. The elves and druids who worship the World Tree can be seen holding holy symbols with a shaft topped by a cross and an oval, vaguely suggesting the shape of an oak. Dwarves, though secretive of cults, have been known to use symbols similar to those of the elves that replace the oval with a diamond. The similarities of these forms is no doubt due to influence of the one, true god and the aim of his pretenders to trade off of his power.
