I am sorry to shatter your own 10th anniversary. But that probably means you do not have to retire yet!!  ;)

D'Hara's new flag? I can also crop/change the text as needed.

Looks nice. I typically prefer banners without text, though.

I do wonder, however, if an asian-styled dragon fits well with D'Hara. The Dragons have always been depicted as clearly european-esque.

How is that an Asian style Dragon? It doesn't have the whiskers or beard that asian dragons do. And all that is visible is the head and neck.

Glad you think it looks nice though!

It's not Asian, but it's definitely not a Midieval European Dragon either. It's rather a modern-day fantasy dragon.

Oh, I mistook some of the quills for whiskers. My bad. :P

Maybe we'll get some diplomatic cred with Asylon then...

I would do away with the text.

I think definitely lose the text, but apart from that I like it. Its certainly better than our old one at any rate.

That doesn't look like a medieval banner. It looks like a modern logo.

As a modern logo, it looks pretty nice. But there are already too many banners in BM that look too little like medieval flags, standards, banners, and coats of arms.

It kinds looks like you used the Game of Thrones sigil generator thing. Nifty, though.

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.
