Current Fashion

This style emphasizes plain, billowing silver and pale gold garments. Tops are typically long with plunging necklines. Corsets and hosiery are also customary. Buttons and stripes are staples of the style. Grey-green, dark grey, and tan are also common colours.

Marriage

Marriage is prompted by pregnancy, arranged at birth, and not between up to 2 people.

Initiating or arranging a marriage is usually a father's' role, and not a feminine role. Marriages usually include legal paperwork signing, and not mock attempts to buy back one of the marriage parties.

Funerary Rites

Death rites require sacrificing people to accompany the deceased, clergical supervision, and often more than 13 days seclusion for kin. Bodies are buried in a river.
