Flag of Chryse
Chryse has a history of several flags. It currently has a state flag, a civil ensign, a naval jack, a royal standard, and a viceregal standard. It has a historical state flag, and also flags of previous sovereigns.
State flag
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
The royal standard is the Queen-Exarch Salome's personal flag in Chryse. It is the banner of the coat of arms, but it is three times as long as it is wide, with two diving golden dolphins (two dolphins or urinant) roughly in its centre. Its use signifies that the Queen is present.
It was adopted in 1687, but has 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.
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.
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.
