Continuing to explain some lore tidbits from Flight Rising, this time with the topic of...

Dress code of dragons

Most of the dragons of Seafoam clan are used to rather primitive lifestyle compared to many other clans of Sornieth. They very rarely (if ever) use actual clothes like shirts and pants and instead decorate themselves with a few selected accessories or wear things they use in their professions. The most notable exception is Horan who originates from a much more sophisticated clan. He is actually bothered a bit by the habit of being practically naked around other dragons.

But even a simple clan like Seafoam has some conventions regarding clothing. The most important mark to outsiders are Banners worn by Carran and her son Mirach: they are used only by the leaders of the clan, the ones who are responsible of the wellbeing of the clan and have most power over it, too. They are therefore the ones an outsider is expected to approach if they have some sort of business to deal with Seafoam clan.

While anyone living anywhere near the Seafoam clan likely knows about the conventions surrounding Banners, there are other habits that are specific to only this clan. One of them is wearing Bird Skulls, which is yet another mark of the leader. This is a bit more complex issue than the Banners, though:

• Carran, the current leader, is the only one wearing a Bird Skull (Roc skull to be specific) on her head
• Mirach and Rumble, the sons of Carran, are the only ones wearing Skulls tied to their wings
• Marus, Tuuli and Tuiske are allowed to wear a few Skulls in a necklace because they were all helping when the clan was first formed.

There are a few hiccups in this arrangement. For example it is a bit shunned issue that Rumble is wearing as many Skull items as Mirach even though Rumble has made it clear he isn't interested in becoming a leader. Rumble just ignores this and wears the Skulls anyway. Also Marus would likely be allowed to wear more Skulls than he does as he is the mate of the current leader, but he doesn't want to do so as he likes being friends with everyone instead of being considered their superior.

On top of these conventions there are also a few others that don't really need long explanations:

• Carran is wearing some apparel commonly related to Water Flight to make it clear what Flight Seafoam clan is serving
• Davraseen is wearing (or more like has created it with magic) Diver Emblem to mark his devotion to gods and Tidelord in particular
• The main coliseum team of Auer, Eidiel and Faelten are all wearing Filigree Banners as a mark of a soldier
• Prina is wearing jewelry decorated with alchemical symbols as she is studying to become an alchemist.
