As the color of the sky and water, blue represents a pigment highly prized in [[Orioni]] for decorating temple ceilings, the color signifies divine favor. Red is worn by brides in the Orient as a symbol of good luck and fertility. White is the color most associated with sacredness. The diamond shape is an early [[List_of_Spoken_Languages_on_Eurth|Oharic]] representation of a heart or womb, dating from circa 3000 BCE. The tree is Orioni's imperial symbol. Presence and position of the tree on the shield is directly inspired by the Orioni cedar (''Cedrus orioni''). The Cedar is a symbol of holiness, eternity and peace. As an emblem of longevity, the cedar of Orioni has its origin in many liturgical or apocryphal references. ('''[[Flag of Orioni|See more...]]''')

The Kōpeo Cat (Machiarodus kōpeo), also known as the the Kōpeo Lion, Kōpeo Tiger or just Kōpeo is a species of large Machairodontinae sabertooth cat endemic to Onekawa-Nukanoa. A surviving member of the subfamily Machairodontinae, despite it's name the Kōpeo cat is not closely related to lions, nor any other current member of the Panthera genus. The largest living felid, with large males regularly exceeding 390 kilogams and measuring 1.4m at the shoulder. Despite a member of the Machairodontinae family, Kōpeo cats canines are not as long as some members, but still regularly reaching and exceeding 10cm. The Kōpeo cat is considered critically endangered by the Association of Ozeros Nations Intercontinental Conservation Agency, with current estimates placing the total wild population at 1,200. Whilst fossil records has shown that the Kōpeo cat was once found as far westward as Kopikara in Zanzali, no fossils younger then 180,000 have been found west of the Hanaki Wetlands.
