Divine Symbols & Sigils
The symbol most often used to reference Belethyr is the "Sword and Scales", which depicts a upside down longsword whose handguard is functioning as the fulcrum point for a scale. The symbol identifiably references two of Belethyr's primary domains: justice and war. The Sword and Scales are often used as short-hand for the concept of justice in cultures of Tellandria that were influenced by Oretrian culture or Oretrian Orthodoxy, and are often featured on the decorative reliefs of courthouses and government buildings.
In his mortal life, Belethyr was storied to have worn very brightly colored clothing; indeed, this has become a core feature of thetraditional vestments of the Venerated of Belethyr. As a nod to this, many of Belethyr's faithful wear bright and multi-colored clothing, and often find Belethyr's divinity in other prismatic displays (such as in rainbows).
