The "eye" is a circle, representing Ixnay, divided into 3 unequal parts. The upper and lower parts of the circle are equal in size, while the middle is about twice the size of either side, representing being part of both domains. The upper part is light blue, representing the sky and Bron's domain. The middle part is dark blue, representing the sea and Mashk's domain. The middle part is green to represent land and humanity's domain. There are 10 black strokes on the green part to represent humanity living together peacefully in between the two god's domains. The 10 strokes can also represent the 10 gods on the pantheon of Volinism. | The "eye" is a circle, representing Ixnay, divided into 3 unequal parts.

Volinism has an expansive pantheon of gods and goddesses, unlike similar polytheistic religions, none of the gods and goddesses are traditionally related, and formed around the realm that they are the lord of. Also unlike most religions, the most important god is not the one that created the earth, but instead the one that created humans, that being Mashk, the god of the sea. | Volinism has an expansive pantheon of gods and goddesses, unlike similar polytheistic religions, none of the gods and goddesses are traditionally related, and are instead formed around the realm that they are the lord of.
