Aro: You’re absolutely right. The wealthy Romans could afford colored clothing. But as we know, Rome (at the time) was controlled by the wealthy and powerful. That’s why there was so much corruption and backstabbings. So I withhold my statement. Unless you’re talking about the Roman factions. Scipio, Brutus, Julius or the council controlled military.

Genway: That is always a cool concept. Religion being exploited by power hungry zealots is always a neat twist. Peaceful worship can’t be condemned, but if it grows in power it can’t be shrugged away either. The Order is this setting’s concept of that. There are most likely corrupt high class dregs in the Order, using the faith of their people as a weapon or for self gain. “Power corrupts, or, it just turns us into who we truly are.” Interesting stuff.
