Re: An Occultus Faction possibly worked out?
Well, this is my first post, (seeing as I have just registered), but I have been silently watching for a few weeks now, and have been using various programs to try to determine the origin of this secret faction. It has taken A LOT of work in Photoshop and Paint.Net, and I *think* I have figured it out. It took a lot of noise cancellation, gamma manipulation, edge detection and the like, and with my mediocre knowledge of this time period it became something of a chore to look this up - how do you find a symbol that you don't know the name for?
Anyway, without further adieu, I preset to you MY manipulation of the signature, as well as my idea of the Occultus faction. One which NOBODY Expected...

Re: An Occultus Faction possibly worked out?
The symbol seems to have some sort of engraving on it, and is rather stylized. Maybe if we can figure out what "style" of art it is, which will tell us what culture it came from, then we narrow down the options.

Yes, I know (culture limitations and all that), I was just remarking as to the style of art question, and the first thing that what little we have reminds me of is the Meroitic reliefs that I have seen. But, bearing in mind that Meroe has been ruled out then.... that sort of art influenced, and was influenced itself, by surrounding cultures. So I would say something in the Babylonian/Syrian area... the Nabatu, perhaps?
