Members of the Order of the Pelican wear the badge of their order, often as a medallion on a necklace. They are also entitled to wear a cap of maintenance, but this practice is not common in An Tir. Members of the Order of the Iron Chain wear a black iron chain. Many squires throughout the Known World wear a red belt to indicate their relationship with a member of the Order of Chivalry. In An Tir, it has become customary for the end of the red belt to be marked with the Knight or Master s badge or device.
Some squires also wear silver chains in imitation of the chain of fealty.
This tradition is not firmly entrenched in An Tir. It is considered extremely poor manners to wear jewelry, headgear, or any other articles which might lead others to think you hold a higher rank than you actually do. As a general guide, those without an Award of Arms may wear a simple, undecorated metal circlet. Those with an award which conveys a Grant of Arms, may add several stones and more engraving to their circlet. The maintainer of this page is the An Tir Webteam .
