## Flag Details

The flag of Limberwisk is a horizontal bicolor of White and Black, with two semi-circles making up a full circle slightly askew to the left hoist side, containing the colors of Blue and Orange. The Orange and Blue stand for the Gulba fruit as well as the joint union between the Native Kahhlll people and the Nordic Vikings from the past. The Black & White not only symbolized the colors of the Orca (the national animal), but also the ice, snow, as well as the volcanic soil that provides the perfect environment for the Gulba fruit, and the Black also stands for blood, because Paul just wanted to.
