Imperial Moth Symbol

Post » Fri Jun 21, 2013 11:34 pm

Recently, I was wondering about the apparent absence of moth iconography in the Empire. As we know, the Imperials tend to put the Red Dragon or the Red Diamond symbols on practically everything they own. However, no such treatment is given for the other iconic Imperial creature: the Ancestor Moth. After some looking around I found one example of such a symbol: the http://www.uesp.net/wiki/File:MW-item-Heavy_Bracers.jpg(lower left set). Does anybody else know of a moth symbol or moth icon on Imperial items?

The ancestor moth could be a symbol of nobility or knighthood in Cyrodiil, the bracers you point out belong to the knights who act as the heads of the legion garrisons of Vvardenfell so the knights could be considered nobles because they are leaders of garrisons.
