Access to cheaper food from Berowick combined with Cultural influences from the Farseni traders has led to a more specialized and merit-based society in Edomere. A skilled individual can rise among his peers to become a person of wealth and importance in Edomere.

Houses and Merchants use their wealth to compete to patronize great Artists, Mages, Engineers, and Scientists. A focus is put on information that is more useful in war, such as Firearms and Siege Engines. Finding a good patron is a goal for many from Edomere.

Flowing in the steps of Scoprire, Edomere has a focus on exploration and sends out ships to search for new islands or land that has not been discovered yet.

Makeup Requirements

Humans are not required to wear make-up.

For commoners, themes of Renaissance Italy should be in your garb, but can also include garb that is seafaring in nature. For Nobles, there is a higher standard of costuming that must include inspiration from Renaissance Italian Fashion.

Edomere is a naval Duchy, and this is reflected in its clothing. Commoners wear plain loose-fitting cottons and linen clothing that would support a life at sea or on the coast.

Those looking at appearing wealthier and/or noble should look towards Renaissance Italian fashion. Wealthy Edomerians see clothing as a status symbol, and will normally purchase new fashion regularly as a way to show off wealth.

A character who house is inside of the Book of SIlver might show that with a long sash of silver cloth or a silver bracelet.
