There are a handful of symbols that Zirans use to receive specific blessings. The most well known of these is 'Protection' and its often used in architecture and in jewellery. In modern times, this symbol has become trendy and many people, including those who do not practice the faith wear it as a fashion item.

Unlike the Big Gods Alt Religion, who make regular, documented appearances in the mundane world, the Zirans only have faith of their Gods’ existence. People use at the cause and effect of offerings (she didn’t make an offering, and so she failed her test), as well as the general beauty and harmony in the world to justify their faith. To many people not of the religion the Ziran faith looks like primitive superstition.

There are three images. The first shows four symbols. An inverted triangle with a vertical line through the centre labelled Protection.
A clover like symbol with two of the leaves rounded, and two pointed. It is labelled Honesty.
A septagon with various lines linking the corners. It is labelled Integrity.
The fourth two squares overlayed to make a star-like shape. Several lines connect corners to the central point. It is labelled Justice.

The second image is of a modern apartment complex with the triangular "Protection" symbol painted many times upon its upper lip. The caption reads(A modern building with the symbol of protection incorporated in its design.

The final image is of a smiling woman wearing a yellow dress and a necklace. The caption reads "A woman wearing the symbol of protection."
