Explanation about this Symbol

[Didimiaou]

Hey guys !

I am wondering what is this symbol we can see on anima Weapon and maybe anywhere else ?

If there is a story behind, I'll take it !

It is like a caduceus. Apparently it has a link with anima itself. But I do not know more.

its the hermes caduceus

It's the World Health Organization logo

I meant the story in a loristic way.

I'm pretty sure it's just a stylized representation of Anima her/himself.

I want to know where exactly does this sigil pop up in the anima quests

I want to know where exactly does this sigil pop up in the anime uests

It's on the later stage weapons themselves for most (possibly all) of the jobs. E.g. the scholar book has a sigil of it on the front cover and the ninja has it engraved on the blade.

But is there any story behind this symbol ? An explanation ? Why this ?

[Mhaeric]

It's just an image of Anima being summoned via aether. It's similiarity to the staff of caduceus was probably chosen by the designers to symbolize being awoken from sleep or being returned from the dead, since that's what the story-line about Anima is mostly about. There's no game lore about it beyond that.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caduceus
"It is said the wand would wake the sleeping and send the awake to sleep. If applied to the dying, their death was gentle; if applied to the dead, they returned to life."

Okay I took a lookat me and couple FC mate's weapons and found the symbol on most of them

* Sindri: head of the staff
* Canopus: the center
* Deathlocke: The handle
* Mimenesis: Spine
* Chronus: engraved on the blade, closer to the Hilt

Kalandala and the MNK one seemingly didn't have one, Anabasis and the NIN one are already shown above and have the sigil on the cover and engraved respectably.

EDIT: got a look at a few more:

* Pytwen and Aettir: present on both (on the shield and above the hilt, latter is engraved like Cronus and the NIN weapon)
* Minos: engraved on the axhead

Terpander so far is like Kalandala in that I coudne't find it (yet) Update: Terpander's is the glowpatern on the bow, not a part of the physical weapon!

EDIT 2: Found an image of Areadbhar and it shows the sigil on the tip of the spear

EDIT 3: I think I finally have an idea on where Kalandala's is, it might be on the very top of the staff.
