The names of this and (((Totem of Truth))) seem slightly the wrong way round. Green is more spiritual than blue, and blue cares more about research and discovering the truth than green.
this will need some explaining:
WG has to do with agriculture/royal family
WU has to do with Freed slaves
UB has to do with palace intrigues/secrets
RU has to do with alchemy/mundane
UG has to do with miracles/divine
RB has to do with thieves/treasure hunters/slavers
WB is all about the mysterious occult of the Glyph-Mired Temple
RW are the nomad traders
RG is the wildlings of the south
GB are the dangerous cataracts, full of rapids and infectious disease
More lore:
There are five primal forces in this plane
Force of Creation - this force creates things
Force of Preservation - this force preserves things
Force of Deception - this force makes us perceive things.
Force of Destruction - this force destroys things
Force of Incarnation - this force generates the cycle of Creation/Preservation/Destruction.
These 5 forces are well-known in this plane, as this plane has had thousands of years to theorize about their magic. Because the B force is deception and has to do with entrance, perception and illusion, I figured that the WG hate-bear for B would be called Truth.
These five forces reincarnate each age as avatars to replay the struggles and uphold order.
Gradually the people realized they're not omniscient beings, these five forces, and they can be manipulated to do things, which leads to many to believe that there's a higher force that orchestrated a Grand Design for the forces.
