Fine. I'll be the one to say it. I hate you, team colors. I hate you.
If I were reading a fantasy book where the servants dressed to House colors, I'd be like...yeah. They're servants.
For the nobility, however, I think they should all best please their own whims. It's slavish to follow their House colors so stringently, and if
that were in a novel, I'd find it pretty silly. Those restrictions make sense for the lowblooded commoners, but not for the Highborn. How much more fun would Allanaki high style be? The Kadian item database is
massive, but there are limited items that make sense and go together for clans. Throw open the doors, I say!
Lord McGruffin McTangerinePants should be able to dress his favored servant in
only feathered items or
whatever, because that makes things more fun. I want to always be with you, my fellow players, in pursuit of fun. I bring this up in particular because it's just game tradition to do it the way we do. There hasn't ever been any documentation to support this. Good deal, too, because how much weirder would it be that the Chosen did it the same way. It's meta. We want the newbs to be able to tell which House is what. I love the newbs, but let's just teach them to look at rings.
We can free ourselves!

btw valeria - aw yissss.
