The glorious Modan-Lach flag, proportions 3:5, adopted officially 25/11/2007
The flag, designed by M. Hadjimehmetov on the date of its official acceptance by the count himself for the people of his beloved county includes the county arms in the centre of the flag, topped by an additional crown to show the county's loyalty to the Kaiser and Imperial Republic. The maroon colour represents the fertile soil which has made Modan-Lach such a rich county and the breadbasket of Southern Shireroth.
The red represents the bloodshed before unification with the rest of Shireroth, and the bloodshed which ensued after unification, simply because Lach-Modanians like a good fight or brawl. White represents the snow-capped mountains of Upper Modan-Lach, as well as a local strong yoghurt (no, there is no connection), a famous part of Lach-Modanian cuisine.
In local customs, men came to adulthood when they could stomach a whole bowl of the local delicacy. Hence, it has also become a metaphor for the strength of the local people!
The Coat of Arms of the County.
The Emblem in the centre is an ancient, and still unknown, symbol associated with the tribes of Lower Modan-Lach. This symbol is often found on ancient Brookshireian and Yardistani ruins submerged under the Khaz Modan Gulf or in the Shire Sea, as well as the many ancient ruins in the forests of Modan-Lach. It is believed to have some significance to one of the gods of the ancient civilization which once inhabited the area, probably the god of commerce or the seas, as the symbol bears an obvious similarity to an anchor.
The bushels of wheat also symbolise the land's fertility and the industious people of Lach-Modan, the sun and rays of light standing for the future and the hope which will come with it. A small version of the National Arms lies atop the ancient symbol in the arms.
