So what do all of these symbols mean?  The world of Forgotten Realms is very steepted in traditon, both mystical and otherwise.  Individuals take great pride in their membership to certain guilds and organizations.  Wearing these symbols can provoke any reaction from Anger to Joy, or anything in-between.  Symbols show which organizations an individual holds in esteem.  Many individuals will belong to several organizations.  Their symbols are ordered sequentially from greatest loyalty and lessening.  The first symbol is always the greatest loyalty. These are a few of the Secret and Not-So-Secret Societies that the party has run into in their travels.
