	As with the customary greeting of a friend descreibed above, the Sealing has religious significance. To perform it, both hands are held out, palms facing, thumbs pointing upwards, fingers open. Note that between the fingers are six gaps. The hands are then brought together so that the fingers can interlace and then close, the thumbs touching side-by-side. The touching of the thumbs closes the seventh gap, symbolizing the unity of The Seven. The touching thumbs represent the unity amongst humans, gathering before The Seven.

	The Kalder Royal House uses a simple K-glyph as a monogram to represent the Kalder family and the kingdom. Historically, when the Kalders were a Malanthean noble house, their colour was red, which is why on some old Kalderani documents and items, this colour is prominent.

	The traditional colours of The Seven, common to all cultures rooted in the Janee, inform emblems, designs and decorations used in the nation. Thus, Sahir is represented by shades of amber, and pitch black is associated with Arawn. The clergy of the Monastery of Salaah have erected hundreds of huge blue flags all over the hills surrounding the monastery and looking out over the sea. Written on each flag are special prayers which the ocean winds keep in constant motion.
