The White Hand stands as a powerful emblem of the Wolgos people, a symbol that gained prominence after their arrival in Kupeya following the Second Wolgos Trek. This hand iconography is steeped in cultural significance, representing both the Wolgos’ resilience and their claim to their new homeland. According to tradition, the White Hand commemorates a semi-mythical event in which a young Wolgos man became the first to disembark from the evacuation ships, setting foot on the shores of Kupeya. It is said that he was the first to touch a towering monolith that stood by the beach, symbolizing the Wolgos' connection to and ownership of this new homeland.
While the story is a cornerstone of Wolgos identity, its historical accuracy is shrouded in mystery. The event is imbued with a deep sense of mysticism, and there are no definitive records identifying the first Wolgos to set foot in Kupeya, nor any clear account of who was the initial disembarker from the evacuation fleet. Despite these uncertainties, the legend persists, and the White Hand has become more than just a symbol of arrival; it is a symbol of their dominion and belief in their own superiority.
