Sarr Totems
A Sarr's totem, earned during their rite of passage, is something that a Sarr treasures for the rest of his or her life. A Sarr's totem is a piece of jewelry. that is worn openly in the hair or on the clothing. Each totem is one of a kind made of the clans totem stone or metal and at times incorporating totemic animals.
The more ornate the totem the older the child in the family structure. The youngest having just a plain stone in a simple setting. The only exceptions to this rule are the Liger totems and the Lion totems, these clans having adopted a set totem for the entire clan except for the head of the clan, even these are often. individualized so as to make them different.
A Sarr will never willingly give up their totem and any seen wearing a Sarr totem that is not theirs is quickly taken down. A Sarr only gives the totem away for two reasons. The first being they died and the family got it or someone saved their life and this person is then given the totem or in some cases a marker to represent the totem. The totem is then theirs until such time as the Sarr can return the favor and repay the debt owed.

# Each Liger is a member of the Citadel and wears a special totem composed of all the stones in the clans. (See picture.) These totems are all alike, except for a special mark to designate the owner on each. The leader of the Citadel wears an elaborate symbol of which it's like is only found on the Grand Matriarch.
Also, some clans have adopted house symbols. These are usually badges representing different houses or tribes in each clan. These house symbols differ from the totems in the fact that the symbols are not earned but given out to the family members for feast functions and the symbols themselves sometimes used as brands for livestock and marks of excellence for use on merchandise.
