Colora (Lorica)

Royal Colors


The royalty has access to materials of certain special, rare colors. The eight royal metals/materials and eight silks are the most difficult to replicate, even by the most talented rogue magi, and thus are especially designated as items giving the bearer a great, if not royal, importance.

Clothing
The eight royal silks are used in clothing. Each brings with it a certain level of power in the Lorican hierarchy provided they are used prominently in clothing. All of the royal silks are far more brilliantly reflective than their typical counterparts and scintillate a spectrum of colors (represented by the color gradient in each color box) in the light, so they can't be replicated by mere dyes. Wearing silks that one is not qualified to wear can put one in jail.

Gold silk
The emperor is the only person who is allowed to wear gold silk. Hence it has become one of the most notable symbols of the emperor. Anyone else wearing gold silk is punishable by death because it implies that the wearer wishes to become emperor.
