	~~Finnish this page~~.		The Kahdayho Emblem were first created(most likely) during the [[Alchemical Arms Race]] that characterised the [[Mage Wars#The Intermediate Period\|Intermediate Period]] of the Mage Wars. They are a form of enchanted tattoo that grants the wearer certain abilities. Most are meant to be protective, but some provide increased strength or stamina. En Emblem is a magical enchantment that combines artistic elements with enchantments to produce magical designs.

			==Background==
			Enchantments in the form of Emblems(instead of [[Rune]]s), began to appear in the late [[Mage Wars#The First Chaotic Period\|First Chaotic Period]]. These were less powerful, but easier to produce as they only required painting as opposed to etching. Emblems could be applied to wooden objects(such as shields and bows) without compromising the material the wat etching a rune would. There are accounts as far back as the early Intermediate Period of warriors being painted with emblems directly on their skin to before battle. However, as the technique was difficult and time-consuming, tattooing became the next logical step.

			Kahdayho Emblems are first mentioned in the Intermediate Period. It is thought that, while the capability to produce them may have been invented sooner, they did not appear because earlier civilizations did not have the resources to devote to the high degree of artistry required to complete the technique.

			==Emblems vs. Runes==
			Runic enchantments pre-date [[High Tower]] and are found all throughout the [[Mage Wars]] and continued to be produced into modern times. However, they require precise etching into a hard surface, which leaves them ill-suited to human flesh. In the First Chaotic Period, though rare, there are examples of individuals having runes carved into their bones(no doubt causing great pain). Emblems, by contract, use sacred geometry and precise proportions to each other. In other words, the enchantment is created by the sum of it's parts, not spelled out like a language. This means that as a person ages and their body changes, the Emblem, if still recognizable, will still function.

			While an emblem can very simply be created with a precise array of lines and shapes, the key element that drove their production was the ability to combine those elements with artistic compositions, allowing someone to bear a marking that was both functional and highly aesthetically pleasing. A good inscriber could produce the desired enchantment in just about any design.

The art reached it's height during the Intermediate Period and remained strong through the early [[Mage Wars#The Dynastic Period\|Dynastic Era]].
