The Imperial Cross, the most commonly displayed sigil representing the Empire and Imperial authority as a whole.
The Imperial Cross, also sometimes called the Cross of Sigmar, is the symbol most commnly used to represent the Empire as a whole. It is also a commonly used sigil for the most important Imperial deity, Sigmar Heldenhammer, who was the mortal founder of the Empire.
The Imperial Cross is a long-standing symbol of Imperial unity. The top three arms of the cross stand for the northern, western, and eastern tribes of Men who joined together under the leadership of Sigmar to forge the ancient Empire in the face of the myriad threats that faced Humanity in the region, and the bottom refers to the Dwarfs, the Empire's oldest and staunchest allies.
This sigil has connotations of unity and oaths fulfilled. The Imperial Cross is often inscribed on official documents issued by the emperor or by one of the Elector Counts and is also a popular icon displayed on the banners of Imperial and Sigmarite armies.
