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.
