Greetings :)

Does anyone happen to know the origins of the triskele style 3-snakes symbol
that is used for Jyhad/Vampire:TES?

Am interested in such things and wondered if anyone knew...? Does it have a
name btw?

Whilst on the subject of where things come from... I was wondering if anyone
could inform me where the card 'protected resources' comes from?

I have it listed in my Elder Library Database program (bows to David M.
Davila) and I see it listed on trading/selling lists but I couldn't locate it
in any of the card lists so was sort of curious as to what its origins are?

Protected Resources was released in the V:TES set along with Archon
Investigation to help against the "Stealth Bleed" deck. It is argueably
the rarest card in the game.

You can read the card text from my Library Monger at

The only name I've heard is a descriptive one, and seems to indicate the
origins of the symbol. From an old press release:

Backing A New Look
Wizards of the Coast to Alter Card Backs in Vampire Game

Renton, Wash. (April 26, 1995)-After reviewing customer comments, Wizards of
the Coast, Inc. has decided to change all card backs in the newly named
Vampire: The Eternal Struggle (V:TES) Deckmaster game. When the game -
formerly titled Jyhad - debuts this summer, the cards will have the game's
snake "biohazard" symbol and the new name on a green marble background.

It is a card that was introduced in the unlimited release of the base game
(It's in V:TES boosters and starters, but not in Jyhad boosters or starters).

Nope, but it looks very much like the symbol for the Kyriotates choir of angels
in In Nomine. This is wholly unimportant, but sort of interesting. ;-)

It certainly has a similar style :) Had never heard of the game but went
surfing for the names and found some inetersting info about the game. Looks
interesting.

Meanwhile will try and find out the name for the logo and whether WoTC
designed it or whether it has older origins than that...
