Chronological rose
While it is not often used as often by the three minor sects of the holy chronicles as it is by Gudsföljarna so is this the most common symbol of the religion. The symbol represent the birth of the first god, Rasmer and how he was born when the wise rose was set ablaze for having impregnated the daughter of a troll chieftain.
The use of the symbol is ancient and while it is unsure when it was used first so have it been found on runestones in the northern iceplains and stories and runestones depicting the Wharen empire's war against the free northern peoples have Troll, Human and Goblins march to war in red paint with crudely painted roses on their bodies as well as there are mentions of roses braided into the hair of warriors.
In the war of light and darkness so were burning roses certainly worn by warriors as they were often placed on large victory monuments raised over fallen Wharen cities and what little remains of the Wharen civilisation describes the northern tribes as "vakiri nesi Falidrad" or "Those under the rose". However it remains uncertain if they used that phrase to describe the inviting tribes specifically or if it was a blanket term for the free people to the north.
The rose was then later adopted in the praying motion made by worshipers of the holy chronicles where they clench their right hand into a fist and holds it before their open left hand while they spread out their fingers as much as they can.
Dragon's flames
The flames of the dragon is the symbol of the dragon god and especially used by the ancient Karmän in northern iceplains before they united and invaded western Vedian. Old Karmän ruins and runestones have depicted the symbol so while it is younger than the burning rose so was it at least used as early as mellan khönunga tiden.
The symbol is first mentioned in "bokan am nord" which depicts tribes living in the north and was written in the early mellankhönga tiden in Vedian which says "The tribes around the northern mountains though wears a symbol of three edged flames representing the god of dragons...". The symbol is then again mentioned during the karmanjakan invasion of Vedian and one of the vedian generals described them as "their troops are motivated and under greater leadership than our own huskarls and their wolf riders seems to appear out of nowhere to the annoyance of our Lardins. No matter how many times I clashed with their shield wall so were that accursed wall of black shield with those red crocked flames unbroken and we had to withdrawn"
The Ship
The ship is a symbol that is used by the entire religion but especially amongst followers of järntron. There are two symbolic uses for the ship within the chronological faith, the first is to represent how the faith protects the faithful in life from a dark cold ocean around them. The second is as a symbol of the Jarntron sect and the ship the god of the ocean uses to pick up sailors and drown victims that he takes back to his underwater home of Vattnaheim.
The symbol was used as early as the war of light and darkness and then became widespread amongst the river and ocean settlements afterwards until it was adopted by jarntron.
