The uniform should be worn as often as possible, at least within the bounds of Rozania. When in uniform, you are considered in duty, and thus spending time in such a way while showing your merit is the fastest way of getting recognized for a potential promotion. The uniform consists of a striped green/yellow gambeson, a pair of sturdy britches, marching boots and greaves, a ferrum cuirass, a helmet, and a pair of leather gloves.

Unlawfully and knowingly defacing the uniform will be dealt with harshly.

 

Article V | Foundation of the Cavalry
