The Realms held in right by the Order of the Holy Lakes (also known as Hurmu) uses three flags for national purposes. The state and governmental flag is the banner of arms of the Order of the Holy Lakes (the six blue roundels on a white field, one for each of the Holy Lakes, while the white represents the peace of Cashma in 576 AN).
The average visitor to Hurmu is more likely to see the traditional flag of Hurmu (since 1728 no official status; see below) or the civil flag and ensign of the Order (the six roundels in the canton, on a bicoloured field of white and blue). Moreover, the Order has a war flag and ensign, the canton being divided in a bicolour of blue and white defaced with the coat of arms; with the rest of the flag being a solid field of red (symbolising the blood of war).
Note that each Realm has its own flag for civil and government use on land.
Traditional flag
The flag of Hurmu is the traditional flag of the Hurmu nation and, formerly, of the Hurmu Trust Territory. The flag is divided horizontally into one field of blue and one field of white. Closer to the hoist, however, a circle – representing the rising Sun – inverts these colours. The blue represents the sky and the Lakes of Hurmu (Hurmu means sky or heaven), while white is the colour of peace and represents the peaceful aspirations of the Hurmu people.
The flag is used for the sporting teams organised by the collective of non-Phineonesian realms of Hurmu.
