Detta diskuteras någon gång i Microprorospelet " Klingon Honour Guard ". Kort sagt var de tre bladen bokstavligen de av Kahless fiender som, efter deras ledare Mogoths nederlag, alla lagde sina dak tahg-knivar på marken i fealty mot Kahless som drog en cirkel runt dem. p>
Dessa vapen representerar förmodligen styrka, plikt och offer med förbindelsecirkeln (som omger dem) som representerar ära.
In gratitude for their leadership and training, qeylIS decreed that the Honorable Three should continue to teach their skills to Warriors of future generations.
O'gat, qolaS & toHqa swore an other of loyalty to qeylIS; they placed their Daqtagh knives on the ground, one by one, symbolizing strength (lower right), duty (lower left) and sacrifice (central spike); and connecting the three weapons, qeylIS drew a circle, symbolizing honor - the force that surrounds and unites all the Klingon People."
Interaktionsspelet" Klingon Academy " innehåller en dramatiskt annorlunda tolkning. General Chang vouchsafes att ett gammalt trebladigt vapen var inspirationen till emblemet, valt av Kahless för att representera de dygder han ansåg var viktigast; Skyldighet, ära och lojalitet
We have all come know the symbol of the Empire. It has been called many names throughout the ages. Perhaps the least understood is the Heart of Virtue or tIq ghob in the ancient tongue. The Heart of Virtue originated from an archaic weapon favored by qeylIs, The Unforgettable. It is said he chose this as the symbol of his house and later the Empire because of the weapon's unequaled balance. Yet, this is inaccurate. qeylIs chose it because each of the three blades represents those virtues that are the very foundation of every true warrior. Duty, Honor, Loyalty. Each in perfect balance.
Of these three blades, Duty is the first virtue. Duty is the beginning and the end of the warrior's path. Without Duty a warrior becomes slave to vain, glory, and reckless self-interest. A true warrior will not tolerate these vices neither in his comrades nor in himself.
The longest blade of the Heart of Virtue belongs to honor. It is the most difficult to master. It has been said, "Mine honor is my life. In that I live. And for it I will die!”
