The serpent circles, gold and bright,
Its tail in tooth, a ring of might.
Within, the rune of hearth and land,
Bound by blood, by heart, by hand.
Above, the lion-stars arise,
A crown of fire across the skies.
This mark we bear, this vow we keep—
To guard the realm, to wake, not sleep.
– the Oathcircle
Our chosen emblem, the Oathcircle, represents our promise.
At the heart of the emblem lies the golden Ouroboros, the world-serpent devouring its own tail—a symbol of eternity, continuity, and the sacred cycle of death and renewal. In the context of noble culture, it represents the enduring covenant between the generations: what is received must be honored, refined, and passed on. It is the embodiment of Tradition, encircling all life, ever-returning yet ever-growing. The Ouroboros also speaks to the unbreakable nature of duty—no beginning, no end, only the ongoing call to serve, to build, to defend. Rendered in gold and set against a black or deep blue background, it captures the tension between darkness and light, chaos and order, suggesting that noble culture stands firm even against the void.
Within this eternal ring rests the rounded Odal rune, an ancient glyph of inheritance, homeland, and ancestral legacy. It is the symbol of rootedness—both literal and spiritual—a reminder that the noble soul is never detached from place or people. The Odal affirms that nobility is not defined by status, but by stewardship: of land, of law, of lineage. Its central position in the emblem underscores that all authority must be grounded in responsibility to what has been entrusted. Rounded and harmonious in form, it echoes the shape of the Ouroboros that surrounds it, reinforcing the unity between the inheritance of the past and the guardianship of the present.
Above and within this sacred geometry are the golden stars of the constellation Leo, glimmering as celestial markers of leadership, courage, and divine calling. Leo—the lion—represents not only rulership but righteous strength, the noble will to lead with both might and mercy. These stars align the emblem with a higher order, suggesting that the noble path is not merely terrestrial, but attuned to the eternal patterns of the heavens. Their presence reminds all who bear this standard that leadership is earned through virtue, vigilance, and the courage to face adversity for the sake of the whole. Together, the Ouroboros, the Odal rune, and the constellation of Leo form a complete visual philosophy: a realm rooted in legacy, guided by principle, and destined to endure.
