Ol' Barny, more formally known as the Parracallid, Sagax Glauxës, Saxo Glauxës, or Sagix Glauxes Rex, meaning Sagacious Imperial Owl, is the sigil of the Haacobin Empire. It is in the form of a golden owl which was believed to resemble a Barn Owl by pediteers, hence the nickname. As an Imperial symbol, Ol' Barny appears on official documents, Imperial military uniforms, including those of the lamplighters, and is flown from spandarions, which may also be referred to as Ol' Barny. It is referenced in the official song of the Imperial military, "Stand While You Can".
