Back to the Lurias, I have been doing a little research on its Symbols, and we can find not many of them:

First banner of Pian en Luries, under King Kaennji: http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa61/_Saigan_/DwilightBanner01-1.png
It depicts the Phoenix, which I think could be used to symbolize the Greater Luria. The civil wars tradition make it a very fit symbol.

Second banner of Pian en Luries, under Queen Alanna: http://wiki.battlemaster.org/images/Pian_en_Luries_New_Banner.jpg
It depicts a Rising Sun and a Griffin. The Rising Sun is more than appropriate for the Duchy of Poryatown, which should also inherit two Quills in its shield (for being home to Keepers of Lore and Poryatown Press, major Lurian academic centers). The Griffin could be dropped for representing the still-alive Alanna.

Askileon Crest, according to the wiki: http://wiki.battlemaster.org/images/Askileon_crest.png
I don't know if this is still being used, but I feel it could be dropped,  as there are no references to lions or three crosses anywhere in the Lurias (I haven't found them, correct me if I'm wrong).

Banner of Luria Nova, under King Fulco: http://wiki.battlemaster.org/images/LN.png
Maybe he could explain the symbolism, and if we are keeping the Red and Blue colors, with the Double-Headed Eagle. It could end up as the symbol for the Duchy of Giask.

Third and current banner of Pian en Luries, under the Manifest Path: http://wiki.battlemaster.org/images/PeL.png
The full/midday sun is pretty clear, and the Duchy of Askileon could inherit it for a symbol.

Shinnen still needs symbols in order to make its own banner.
