In contrast, Verdant Haven's design is their own original creation that is inspired by our existing regional flag. Ah, I see. Thank you. It was just confusing because I thought the current one was the one we've always had. Thanks! Mount Seymour, Atsvea, Lord Dominator, Terrabod, and 3 othersThe Teeth, Middle Barael, and Garbelia
