{{Main|Empheri folklore}}
There are various national symbols of Empherias in terms of colours, landmarks, and regular symbols, although many are not official. Prominent colours in representing the nation include the flag colours of red, white, and blue, alongside gold in the royal standard. Pink is also sometimes correlated with the nation. The sport of fencing saw the prominence of swords in national symbolism, with butterflies or fairies also being popular folk creatures. Therefore, some works of fiction have seen fairies holding swords as popular tropes named Fyzwaards. Dolphins are the national animal. Rivers, mountains, and the northern volcanic fields, and the valleys are often symbols representing the physical geography of the nation - the river Ewynn more specifically. Sometimes, the colour red and more especially the ideas of socialism or progressivism are associated with Empherias and the wider 2395 revolution. Sometimes, alongside other High Kingdom nations, the idea of peerages and nobility is also associated.
=== Fynz ===
{{Main|Fynz}}
In Empheri folklore, magical creature with a humanoid appearance, typically with long blonde hair in more generic terms, or personalised to match with specific people, associated closely with positive thoughts. It was believed that if you were friendly with your fynz then it would bring you joy and happy thoughts, whereas depressive periods were thought to be your fynz punishing you for bad behaviour. It is believed that the sighting of Fynz were actually Pieris brassicae white butterflies, and thus the imagery of fairies and butterflies are often mixed or combined. Many kings in Empherias used the symbol of the fynz as a charm for positivity and longevity for their kingdom. In the Wynnoan borough of Alexandria, there is a large monument known as the Mystical Shrine built centures ago which contains plantlife attracting butterflies, relaxing waterfalls, and natural landscape, which is said to attract more fynz than anywhere else when you meditate there alone.
