Report on the despicable anti-imperial sigil

To the Attention of the Most Gracious Lords and Ladies of the City of the Hundred Fiefs

    My fellow lords and ladies, I am writing to you to warn you about a terrible new development going on in our city: the spread of a despicable symbol insulting all of our history and culture!  
   
Symbol explanation
 
Our continent, with the position of our city marked with a dot.
The symbol of the foreigners who allied against our past emperors, based on the shape of the continent.

The symbol of our past emperors, based on their glorious Draconic Constructs.
 
The symbol of our last emperors after their conquest of the continent, symbolising ther triomph over it.
The symbol of our enemies and their ridiculous and childish attempts to humiliate us.
 
     
  This new symbol is arguably being spread by the foreigners, all too eager to have an opportunity to insult and hurt us and to pretend this new symbol and the politics it represents are also standing for your freedom and independence, but do not let yourself be swindled!   By running in cahoots with the foreigners, you will not defend your fief and your lordship, you will not even be hurting Lord Adélème and his attempts to unite the city and to bring us back the respect and glory we are owed.   No, you will just repeatedly stab yourself in the back!   You will just create an opening for foreign spies among your people and leave yourself open to manipulations—Even if you yourself think you are too savvy to fall for them and only wish to exploit the foreigners, other less savvy people will see you and follow your example in all earnestness!  
 
Reject the foreigners! Reject the anti-imperials! Reject this symbol!
   
Lady Dyes
 
   
 
Death to the would-be emperor!
 
He wants to submit us and curtail our freedom, effectively enslaving all of us!   But even that is only a start!   For you can be sure that he see himself as a true imperial and wishes for a return of all that the empire was, including their terrible experiments!   Bow to him and be sure that our wonderous city and all of us will get killed in a gigantic flood before he even has the time to start his foreign conquests!   With him there will be no glory, just death!

I really like the section that shows the progression of the symbols.

Thanks! It all started with a random photo I saw of a snake wrapped around the bird of a beak and I decided it was cool and I wanted to use it but then I had to find a explanation for it. I'm really happy with how reasonable I've made it all seem XD
