Chryse has a history of several flags. It currently has a state flag, a royal standard, a naval ensign, and a civil ensign. It has a historical state flag, and also flags of previous sovereigns.

State flag

Flag of Chryse

The state flag of Chryse was last adopted in 1687. It has a golden horizontal stripe on a blue field. It is also the jack of the merchant and military navies of Chryse. Its ratio is 2:3.

The colours are taken from the coat of arms of Chryse. The golden stripe represents the name of Chryse ("golden" in Athlonian) and its gold-coloured cliffs and riches. The upper blue field represents the sky, and the lower one the sea, from which Chryse made its riches.

Royal Standard

Royal Standard of the Queen and Exarch of Chryse

The royal standard was the Queen-Exarch Salome's personal flag in Chryse. It was the banner of the coat of arms, but it was three times as long as it is wide, with two diving golden dolphins (two dolphins or urinant) roughly in its centre. Its use signified that the Queen was present.

It was adopted in 1687, but had not been used, as the Queen has yet not set foot in the city. A standard was delivered by the Chrysean ambassador to Raynor's Keep as a tribute to Her Imperial Magnificence.

Following Chryse's annexation to Elwynn in 1690, the royal standard has not been in use.

Naval jack

The naval jack of Chryse is similar to its state flag. Its height is twice as long as its width, and the middle golden stripe is twice as the wide as each blue stripe.

The jack is used on any ship owned by the Chrysean government, mainly the coast guard, and so on.

Civil ensign

The civil ensign is flown by private ships (i.e. having a private owner). The only difference between the state flag and the civil ensign is that the civil ensign's height is twice the width of the flag.

Historical flags
