I like it, but I feel like it doesn't really show emblems or family history or anything in it.

^Richard III has the Plantagenet lion and a norman fleur-de-lis.

Perhaps we would be better off with a flag that is more authentic looking, as Anaris says.

Perhaps the lion you found could be one part of our emblem however, like the plantagenet lion.

Dragon King Dragon + Sallowcape [something] or something along those lines = Flag of D'hara

I kind of like this idea, as long as it's something along the lines of blending traditional D'Haran emblems with reigning monarch emblems, which in this case would be this, I guess:
Dit donc camarade soleil / Ne trouves-tu ça pas plutôt con / De donner une journée pareil / À un patron

That emblem is wrong. There should be, of course, three bloodstars.  ;D
After all it's a roleplaying game.

Predates your stars by quite a bit, buddeh!

One could say that only two stars ever really shine at any one time, though, the third being dark (if I understood things correctly).

That's not right. They come and go randomly; you can see their current state here:

As of posting, they are all dark. This means something bad will happen (not that this is surprising).

Well, then change it!

Darn. I thought it was like the lunar cycle, and they just rotated... :/

And who says the two stars need to be bloodstars? :P

Eaten by his starving neighbor, obviously.

The part of the town no one lives anymore. Luckily thats not happening any more as D'hara has plenty of food. You just got to know the right people.

Aa, that's okay. I didn't think my submissions were going to win anyway. There's something to be said about the guy who offers the prize money and judges the prizes is also the guy who wins the prize  ;D
