fruit which grows in abundance in the Colbetian country. </FONT>

of the Argion Clan and their gray color is the standard silver/platinum/gray

<TD><FONT SIZE=+1>When the County of Manxx was established, the question
was what to include in the new crest. The Argion Clan was sure to include
their standard and in honor of the Empire, the crest was extended to having
the top right quarter in the yellow of the Three Suns at sundown. </FONT>
<P><FONT SIZE=+1>The bottom field is the standard background for nobility
and represents silver or platinum and wisdom (which comes with -graying-
age). For Manxx it is also the color of iron and the Blue Sun Mountains.</FONT>
<P><FONT SIZE=+1>The line diving the areas is a deep blue, representing
blue, so noble, blood.</FONT>
