What the hell bethesda? why would you do such a thing?

its on the warhammer too

Not sure if you're trolling or not.

It could be the ancient Indian swastika that stands for good fortune.

If it's actually on there...

I don't have DG but Swatikas are classical signs that predate national-socialism by THOUSANDS of years. They remain widely used in eastern religions, like Hinduism and Buddhism. The swastika is also a Chinese character representing eternity and Buddhism.

Nazi used rotated swastikas.

Its use is also well documented in greek and roman times mainly as a decorative element or symbol.

Hmm "swastika" is a symbol of luck and it isn't even tilted.

The dharma wheel?

Oops - General knowledge fail...

But yeah, not sure if trolling...

That's not a Swastika you idiot

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika

"Swastikas have also been used in various other ancient civilizations around the world. It remains widely used in Indian religions, specifically in Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism, primarily as a tantric symbol to evoke shakti or the sacred symbol of auspiciousness. The swastika is also a Chinese character used in East Asia representing eternity and Buddhism.
The word "swastika" comes from the Sanskrit svastika - "su" meaning "good," "asti" meaning "to be," and "ka" as a suffix. The swastika literally means "to be good".

What? Seriously? Picture please, or It didn't happen.

Yes please.

I doubt very much Bethesda would put a Nazi sign into Skyrim. As posts before have said, that symbol, before the Nazi's adopted it, was a "good" sign anyway - So if there is a Swastika, it would be the good one. >.>

A SWAT sticker? New faction maybe?

Haha I was going to post the same thing;D

You people are oversensitive. So one complete moron and psycho used this less than 100 years ago and now this symbol is magically bad? Although it's been used for thousands of years:)? Swatsticker does not kill when you gaze at it.

What ignorance do... god :/

The swastika is a timeless symbol used by many cultures around the world. It does not stand for racism or the nazis. Hitler used it because in the Viking faith the swastika stands for raw power. Hence why he used it.

Stop living in ignorance. It fits perfectly.

I have one tattooed on my back and it's not a racist symbol, it ties in with my Nordic symbols ad sleeves. It's a big symbol still used by modern day norse heathens along with thors hammer and many of the runes.

My god, you are a nord! ... do you play Skyrim as "yourself"? i'm curious

It's a religious symbol, the version that resembled the 'aryan race' (that the nazi's used) was rotated.

It's used all over the world for various different religious organisations, read up about it before you make ignorant statements like that.

Kind of yes. Lol I made my character have same beard and hair.

You know. Swastikas aren't nazi simbol. They are actually a Hindu simbol. The nazis just modified it and gave it another meaning >_>

They are also not specifically a Hindu symbol. The Vikings used them too along with a lot of Germanic and Scandinavian people.

1) The Swastika was not visually modified by the Germans. However, many modern-day Swastika as well as their counterparts around the world are mirrored in order to differentiate them from their infamous usage.
2) The Bent Cross is a common symbol in other old cultures.
3) The Nazi usage arose from the Indians; it is generally understood that much of the Northern Indian culture was descended from a group known as the Aryans, who are also known to be ancestors of the Greeks. The Greeks formed the basis for much of Roman Civilization and through them, European Civilization and the Indians formed the basis for much of Chinese (and through them, Asian Civilization.) Common thought at that time was that the Aryans had swooped in and conquered and 'civilized' the savage indigenous peoples of Southern India. Also, the Aryans, rather than being dark or middle-toned and dark-haired like either the Greeks or the Hindus, were supposedly blonde-haired and blue-eyed. Because it makes so much sense for Central Asians to look like Scandinavians.

This concept of the Aryans is not taken seriously by anyone who should be taken seriously today; it's considered much more probable that the Aryans peacefully migrated in and intermarried and the two cultures together gave rise to the Great Indian Civilizations past of Northern India. But the Nazis adopted this symbol of Aryan culture (the Swastika represents auspiciousness, a bit more than good luck; auspicious is like a favorite word for describing things of Indian culture) as a symbol of their claim to master race status, in a twisted honoring of the culture that gave us the basis of modern mathematics, Eastern martial arts, etc.
