I don't know why, but I didn't even consider trying to find art of something other than people! Maybe something like this:
http://www.myartprints.co.uk/kunst/walter_crane/detail_of_the_gold_mosaic_frie_hi.jpg

It's apparently made with real gold, so I could have that in the caption.

To be honest, I had reservations about the whole black=royal thing just recently when I was proofreading everything, but I didn't really stop to think critically on it. While the dye being hard to get makes sense in an RL historical sense, I'm not sure the whole concept is something people follow to the letter in Mizahar. For the common person, whole swaths of color should be unavailable. Instead of saying explicitly that it's very uncommon, I'll just avoid mentioning it in order to defer to the site-wide policy on the subject.

I don't know what page it's on, but under Biology/Appearance, there's a section on makeup and fashion. I didn't change it much from the current writeup, but with this edit about colors, I think I'll add a bit more, like embroidery, accessories, patterns, etc.

In other news: Instead of doing my work, like I should, I finished the last teeny, tiny section on Racial Bonuses! Which means...we're done. We're frikkin DONE. Unless I'm forgetting a step, I think I can post the completed writeup in the Peer Review forum, right? O_O

Racial Bonuses
Skill Bonus
+10 In any weapon, ideally so a PC can work towards Dual Wield which requires 30+ points in a weapon as a prerequisite (Racial Bonuses cannot be stacked with Starting Package Skills to reach a sum beyond 30)

Racial Knowledge
If raised by Eypharian parents, every Eypharian should have knowledge of aladjunn, or genetics. The level of knowledge should correspond to the class the Eypharian was raised in. For example, a child from a poor family would have only a passing knowledge of the general principles, whereas a child from a wealthy family may have been taught more in-depth knowledge. This knowledge is highly classified among Eypharians and any who even considered sharing the knowledge with members of another race would be shut out of society, and subject to imprisonment if ever caught actually doing so.

So...I just realized all this development I've been doing here should have been in the Lore Workshop forum... Sorry!!! Moderators, please move this thread there if you feel it is necessary.

Whoot! It's done. I'll have to get ready for a long review session. And maybe bug people to enjoy Eypharians and all their glory :D Or you know, get them excited, or something. Hehe.
