Lore Questions: Why is Gridania's Flag Yellow, and What do the 'Twin Adders' Mean?

[Catapult]

Fun Fact: The Rod of Asclepius, the medical symbol, only has one snake. The two snakes with wings that you often see on medical things is a mistake. That's the Caduceus. The differences between what they mean can make their misuse hysterical at times.

This is exactly why I didn't mention it. :P

Ey, Catapult:

You think Gridania comes from the Italian Gridare, meaning "to shout or cry?"

Wood Wailers?

Hmmmm....

I hadn't actually given that much thought. My instinct says the -ania is meant to be "land of" as in Romania, Lithuania or Oceania. Which would bring us to the meaning of "Grid-", which means network.

If we then take network in the "structured society" sense - as in planned agriculture to preserve a land where everything is linked (and the Gridanians are very concious about maintaining the order of nature) then we we may have a connection.

But that's just me going on a speculative ramble.
