The East Sweden Forging Lock: Östgötalåset
Holds the colours from the lakes, the sea and the ripe cornfields.
”Blue for the sea and the many beautiful lakes. Yellow for the flowering rapeseed fields. Silver for the important waterways Göta and Kinda Kanal, that connects the two. This made the wealth, wisdom and power flourish in the Eastern Gothia region and tribes were forged together over regional borders, creating the kingdom of Sweden. Like the lock holds the chain”
