OK, uss, I'll insert a spoiler tag. Right now, I'm doing Fedex quests in Curst.
Galadria is right. About the symbol. I found this story once of how recently some old ladies was trying to take home an old vase from somewhere in the middle east (??) but when they got on the plane people we're accusing them of being Nazi's etc. just because of the symbol (back to front swastika) on the vase.
