Sankt Saulus heraldry (Patreon)

A bit of lore extra! I find heraldry quite fascinating, and designed a crest for the city of St. Saul.

This doesn't have much bearing  on the plot, but i love coming up with these world-building tidbits. :3

Most cities/counties/municipalities in Jagged Jimmy's setting have their own crest, the heraldic animal represents that community's guardian or saint.

St. Saulus' guardian animal is a two-headed snake, head of a goat and head of a serpent. The white waves represent the river that runs through Saul (also named Saulus, which is what the city was named after). Saulus himself supposedly was a man who drowned in this river. After receiving a vision from god Aleph telling him to pray in that very river. For his devotion, Aleph blessed the river to always be rich in fish. Saulus was declared a saint post-mortem by the church of Aleph. Hence, Sankt Saulus, the holy city of Saul. :U

The left head's a goat because Saulus was a goat herder in his life, a snake is generally used to represent rivers and bodies of water. A crown can represent saints, blessings, anything related to the divinity of Aleph. Circles always represent the watchful eye of Aleph.
