An Agin, literally meaning "Seal" or "Crest" in Mirselec, refers to designs analogous to heraldric devices used by the nobility of Risevne, some of which are still being used today.
Description
Unlike similar traditions in other countries, which have tended towards elaborate pictoral representations of every family, the Agin emphasises simplicity and austerity. A normal Agin mostly is either a simple geometrical design, or a similarly simple drawing, on a background, and tend to have just one or two colours. An example would be a round black background, on which three circles are drawn touching each other in white, with a silver triangle connecting the centres of the circles; this is the Agin of the House of Sesunza.
