Completed flag design. Alikai Kingdom, Home of Luna's People[The top arrow is the sun, upon which all our civilization lives with during the day. At noon, we rest, for the heat will kill the unwary.]
[The left arrow represents the desert, and all it's people, in it's myriad colors. Those who live within the desert know well the colors of both the sun and moon, shining sands. There are many types of people that live within the desert.]
[The bottom arrow are our cannels, and the moss we grow to filter our water. Beneath the holy moon does our water flow to all four corners of the desert.]
[The right arrow represents our farming, what we can do. Without water, this would not be possible. And without our animals, that would also be difficult, as our people can commune with their animals, so too is it shown through the red dots and tan people.]
[The center rings represent different things. The outermost, the desert, the inner moon the light we know well, for our capital is the most magical place of Luna. The colors around it in the city are more abstract, one could say they represent how life can bloom even here. The blue ring represents the canals which our water flows.]
[The edges both represent the extent of our reach. From the citys on the shore, to the heat of the craters, to the mountains in the distance. And in one corner, the moon's light in the blue night sky, extending it's cool embrace over the desert. Perhaps it will rain.]
[The colorful nature of the flag also represents us as a whole. Each can be considered a precious treasure due to the rarity and variety of dyes, and a symbol of our wealth and health as a people.]
[No matter how far we spread or where we go, the Moon unites, our capital shall stand proof of our Pact, that of Alikai Kingdom.]
Flag of the Pact of Alikai: ()

Honestly both flags are nice. I wouldn't mind both being incorporated, the less colorful one as a standard for our armies, and the more colorful for more stationary color, to be displayed in public.
Pretty sure we also would end up having more flags to represent each tribe as well. The tan one can certainly represent the Pact Clan meetings.
I like the color on mine though.
If I have an argument, it's that the Pact flag seems, bland, abstract. Compared to the lore, I do not look at and think 'Oh'. While it's interesting once you know what it means, it doesn't stand out, too uniform at first glance. You would need to know what each one means before looking at the flag. My first glance left me wondering what it was until I read that.
The one I made is vibrant, focused on color, difference/contrast, and union. When I was making it, I was wondering how to make it distinct, the left arrow is the one I made first that really stood out to me.
Top arrow probobly needs a touch-up though, since it was the first one to get changed. The south arrow was last of the four. Thought of port, but decided to make it a workplace. Which lead to me using the corners to represnt the areas we are connected to. Before that, I did the circles though, hoping to make it look like it represented the capital. And the tan sand and moon-representation was the final touch.
Overall, it looks like a nice piece, I think. ... I can stare at it for a long time. Not sure why I am, but I am.
I hope it's good enough...Got a question in this spoiler.
Have a LunaPic neon filter. 25%. It's pretty neat.
I kinda wonder if this is better than the paint one. It's very night-life.
At the moment, just having fun with effects though. Space Effect.
Stained glass, not so much though.
