The Palatio Arancione 398 Share Posted February 21, 2023 (edited) Penned by HL, Lady Nicoletta Sarkozic EST. 45 BA Foreword The History of Balian started when the Brother’s War began many years ago. A quarrel between two Princes led to the dissolution and destabilization of an Empire. Luckily, our first King- His Majesty John I of Balian- led the people to the South. The temperature was vastly different than what the Imperials had known before. Lost and looking for a new home, Balian was born. Subsequently, a new form of fashion alongside it. Within this missive, there will be detailed descriptions and art of what the culture provides. Ladies Attire Before, shoulders and arms were often covered and shamed if seen about. Now, due to the hot climate, loose and light layers are not only highly encouraged but a must. Ladies, on the other hand, wear flowy and delicate layers often draped over each other to keep themselves cool during the day. Shoulders and arms are not scoffed at within the Kingdom, as long and heavy sleeves tend to lead to heat exhaustion.

Bright colors are worn and are very common within every class in Balian. Men don themselves in light linen like tunics, and loose airy pants. Some men even don robes and light tights to make sure they do not overheat on hot Balian days. Spoiler [Skin 1] Ivoreyyy [Skin 2] JaneJam [Skin 3] Marrs Color Palette Customary colors found in Balian are as shown below. Purple being reserved for the members of the Royal Household only. It is more recurring for members of a noble house to wear brighter colors, while more neutral oranges and browns are found within more common families of Balian. Accessories Outfits are rather customizable within Balian, most plain dresses being complimented by a well made and colorful shawl or robe. The pop of color complimenting anything that may be considered dull. Tiaras, circlets, and crowns are reserved for the Royal household only. Head pieces such as veils though often are used to keep the sun from ladies necks, and come in all shapes and lengths. Veils are worn by any class, and are usually beige or white. Jewels such as lavish necklaces and earrings are reserved for the noble houses of Balian- most being family heirlooms or expensive pieces. Though, it is not unusual for a common house to own a singular heirloom jewel set passed down from generation to generation.
