Are there any symbols or emblems associated with returned Netheril, other than the holy symbol of Shar?

I'm looking to have a symbol to tattoo on some NPCs that belong to a Netherise organization, but I can't think of what it should look like.

Thanks.  I skimmed through it but couldn't find anything (at least not in illustrated form).

well in that case, the holy symbol of Selune, the holy symbol of the old war god, the symbol of Sylvanus., if one could be found the Symbol of Mystryl

you could go to the fR general and check out my a visual grand tour of the realms and find something, I did Find a pic call mage's avatar.

I dont think theyve ever said what the Shades use as a symbol, it would make sense for them to have a flag or some kind of heraldic device. It would be nice if they put out a book or an article or something that listed all the flags and symbols in color of all the different areas of the Realms.

In the adventure Escape from Sembia, there mentioned that a Netherese agent as a symbol of a clenched fist crushing a dove, so perhaps that is their symbol?

I would imagine that that in particular might have been a unit heraldry ....

 there may be a way to get discriptions of what they looked like.
go to Candlekeep.com  and ask Ed Greenwoond in his thread there, or Go to Lormaster.org and ask him in his interview section.

Or you could remember the Netheril of old was compared to our ancient Greece and Rome, so think of something from there. There was a bit of drawings in Netheril boxed set, so...

Lords of darkness (3e) has the heradly of all the princes of shade.

Not sure if that helps, but I think it would at least give you a clue of the general  netherese heraldric style.
