Populace badge of Ealdormere

The Populace Badge of Ealdormere, better known as the Wolfium, is a badge which can be displayed by any subject of the Kingdom of Ealdormere regardless of birth, station or rank.

The badge is: (Fieldless) On a trillium argent barbed vert a wolf's head cabossed gules.

The "Wolfium", as it is affectionately known, is a remembrance of the "spirit of the wolf" which carried the people of Ealdormere through the dark days of King Alen's Proscription. As such, it is particularly associated with the struggle to achieve principality status, and during the Proscription was used as a way of quietly declaring one's with regional sympathies.

There is a rumour, perhaps apocryphal, that certain pieces of Midrealm royal regalia made in Septentria and Rising Waters in those times are liberally (if discreetly) marked with wolves and trilliums.[category:device heraldry]
