Insignia of the Imperial Navy

Derived from the sigil of the Tamrielic All-Flags Navy, the Empire’s naval insignia depicts the Dragon of Akatosh curled up in the shape of a ship’s wheel with eight spokes. The body of Akatosh represents Cyrodiil itself, while the diamond spokes protruding from the dragon’s wings represent the projection of Imperial power over the other eight provinces of Tamriel. The wheel can also be seen as a simplified representation of the Nine Divines, Akatosh being the centre figure, surrounded by the other eight Divines. The symbol became largely disused following the fragmentation of the Third Empire.
