Relics & Credits

The Order carves its own symbols by hand — the Faravahar, the fire-altar, the falcon standard, the map of the Old Dominion, and every glyph are original vector work. But the photographic relics — the true stones of Persepolis, Susa, Babylon, and the fire-temples of Yazd — are the gift of photographers who freely shared them. We honour them here, as the law of Asha and of their licenses requires.
