The Art of the Worn Identity

Textiles & Fashion is the discipline that elevates simple Apparel into a powerful statement of identity. It is the art of the weaver, the dyer, and the tailor. This discipline understands that what you wear is a language, a constant, silent broadcast of your status, your Faith, your Faction, and your personal story.

A simple tunic keeps you warm. Fashion can start a revolution.

  • Tier 1 (Personalization & Tailoring): This is the art of the individual. It involves modifying existing Apparel to better express the self. This includes dyeing clothes with common pigments, adding simple embroidery, or tailoring a garment for a perfect fit. These acts increase an item’s sentimental value and can provide minor Satisfaction buffs, fulfilling a Self-EsteemNeed.
  • Tier 2 (The Designer’s Vision): This is the domain of the professional fashion designer. At a [Tailor's Workshop] or [Design Studio], the artist creates entirely new Outfits that define a cultural style or a subcultural movement. This is where [Faction Uniforms] are designed, their colors and cuts carefully chosen to project a specific image of power or piety. Wearing a “designer” outfit can grant significant social bonuses in the right context, making you seem more [Charismatic], [Intimidating], or [Trustworthy].
  • Tier 3 (Eidic Weaving): This is the highest and most esoteric form of fashion, where the designer is a metaphysical artisan. They work not just with cloth, but with the very meaning of their materials. They might weave the silk of a [Phase-Spider] (harvested with great difficulty) into a cloak that grants a bonus to stealth, or embroider a diplomat’s robe with [Thread spun from solidified sunlight] to create an aura of divine authority. These creations are true Artifacts, garments whose beauty and power are legendary.
