Sumptuary Laws

Atlantia does not, traditionally, adhere to sumptuary laws beyond those of the Society as a whole. For example, while Peerage/Order regalia is reserved for those with those particular Orders - circlet height is not restricted to a specific inch. For information on other Atlantian traditions, see the Traditions page.

Belts

• White: This is reserved for members of the Chivalry
• Red: This is traditional for squires
• Yellow: This is traditional for proteges
• Green: This is traditional for apprentices
• Royal Blue: This is sometimes used to denote a Royal Companion

A note on belts: while the associations above are considered 'traditional' it is important to note that they are not universal. For example, a Knight may choose to have their squires wear a belt that is another color entirely. Some households also carry their own traditions around belt color and adornment. While the above are the generally accepted standard there will be some variation.

Collars

• White: This is reserved for members of the Order of Defense
• Red: This is traditional for students of a MoD
