* ROOK: The Rooks symbolize the Captain who defends his fortress.

* GOAT: The Goat symbolizes one who wins through politics rather than war.

* EYE: The Eye is a symbol of Ingenuity and Capacity, if both are painted it symbolizes Vigilance and Care.

* SALTIRE: The Saltire symbolizes the Banner or script of the leader undefeated in combat.
