The Flag
The Circle Flag
The Circle Flag of Avigilon was its official flag from 1805 to 1955. The SPS were vigilant in changing the culture which they determined started with the flag. They designed several thousands of flags, protested the current circle flag, and influenced lawmakers to unianimoously vote for a change.
The Branch Flag
Still wanting to portray a circle, which the founding fathers made to stand for "one common goal all Avigilonians should aim for," the Branch flag continues to contain a circle, but the branches within lay more to the picture than previously shown. The branches show the wonders of the people from Avigilon venturing out from where they came from and impacting the world. The branches also remind of another faction of people from within Avigilon, the Sacred Path Society, whose growth from within, has converted more and more civilians into the SPS. Gabriel Stone, along with other prominant members, did help design or influence the design of the new flag.
The Flower Flag
After Eris Temblor was elected, Gabriel Stone taught uncoincidentally on the future of Avigilon. As he riled up the members of the society with his directed speech about consistency and change, many took up the mantle to change and proposed a flag that can "unite us as we grow towards a better future."
