Item from The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan
A banner bearing a serpentine dragon — when it flies, the world knows the Dragon Reborn has declared himself. It's not a magical artifact; it's a symbol, and symbols shape nations.
The Dragon Banner is the most politically significant piece of cloth in the Westlands. When Rand raised it over the Stone of Tear, he declared himself the Dragon Reborn to every nation simultaneously. It inspired hope in some, terror in others, and political calculations in everyone. It flies beside national banners at the Last Battle, signifying the unprecedented alliance Rand built.
A long banner of white with a sinuous golden-red dragon — the ancient symbol of the Dragon, Lews Therin Telamon. When it unfurls over a battlefield, every soldier on both sides knows what it means.
Also known as: the Dragon Banner, the Dragon's banner
