Atlas & SymbolWeaver
Atlas
Hey, I've been looking at some old fortress carvings—do you think the symbols used there were more about warning people or about inspiring trust?
SymbolWeaver
It’s hard to pin down a single purpose—most of those carvings feel like a warning wrapped in a promise. The symbols often shout “danger ahead” with jagged lines and sharp angles, but then they’re framed by calm, flowing motifs that hint at protection and stability. So I’d say they’re mostly a warning, but the designers also wanted people to feel that the fortress was a safe haven, not just a threat.

Sounds like the right balance—danger announced, but with a steady hand to keep the people safe. That’s the kind of care we need when walls are built for both defence and comfort.
SymbolWeaver
I totally get it—those walls are like a quiet shout saying, “Watch out,” but also a big, sturdy hug. The artists didn’t just slap danger symbols on stone; they balanced them with smoother curves that speak of shelter and community. It’s a reminder that defense isn’t all hard edges—it’s also the trust that the fortress will stand by you when the storm hits.
Atlas
Exactly. Those walls give a clear warning, but the curves show the same hand that built them is still there to hold us safe when the storm comes. It’s the kind of steady reassurance you can count on.
SymbolWeaver
That’s the perfect vibe—sharp alerts for the dangers, gentle curves to remind everyone the builders are still watching over us. It’s like the walls whisper, “I’ve seen the storm; I’ve got you.”
Atlas
Nice way to put it. The walls keep an eye on the storm and, at the same time, they hold us together. That's what a good guardian does.
