Is there any history in the lore of Erebus behind the different civs' flags? I was playing the Doviello and took a good look at their flag for the first time. My best guess is that it is a smear of blood. What does it really mean? I think a white flag with a wolf on it would be more representative of them given their experiences during the Age of Ice. I imagine the same could be said about and done for some of the other civs. What do you think?
 
Well, I think you can already interpret a lot.

Elohim: an owl stands for the sagacity they gain by protecting the sacred places in the world and the white mybe their innocence, because they rarely start a war?

Kuriotates: The special bond between Cardith and the gold dragon Eurabatres is obvious

Bannor: umm.. a crown should underline the superiority of the people?

Malakim: ehh...

Luchuirp: The enigma seems to express their beautiful work, which they can create as craftsmen

Mercurians:

Ljosalfar: has the same source as the malakim... phew, no idea here

Khazad:

Lanun:

Grigori: they have the first hebrew letter of the alphabet: alef

Hippus: here, it is obvious again, a horse for the horselords

Sidar:

Amurites:

Balseraphs:

Doviello: it is a paw of a bear, which expresses the savageness of the people

Clan of Embers: a fire to honor their angel/god bhall

Calabim: a mouth with sharp teeth and blood around it

Svartalfar: a moon arising only at night supports the dark elves and their assassination activities

Illians: a snowflake for the newborn god of ice

Sheaim: theirenigma expresses chaos and honors their black dragon abashi

Infernals: a demon as a sign for a demonic people, very fitting

I hope you are able to relate my thoughts. For most neutrals I really had no idea what they could mean. They are just too abstract.:D
 
Look at the first page of the download thread for a bigger image. The Doviello flag is a bearpaw like Jean said, or probably a wolf. (You can see the claws at the top.)

You'll find out what the Amurite flag means eventually. ;)
 
Its a man standing before the sun, the first warm sun in an age. He has a sword in his right hand and he is walking away.

In retrospect its anachronistic that its the flag we used for the Amurites in AoI.
