I am a little confused on why the lit coals represent the Dauntless and the water represents the Erudite. Â The soil, gray stones, and glass are pretty easy to figure out, but these kinda stumped me.

I think the coals were related to the dauntless flames and how dangerous fire is. The water might have been related to the idea of water being refreshing (new knowledge is refreshing), and pure (sometimes for new ideas you need a clear mind).
Remember, these symbols likely were used when the faction system was initiated, and there were serious changes in the ideals of the factions.
