=== Dukes, Honoured Heroes of the Ascendancy ===
Dukes, the highest men in Essotori, wear among the greatest and most oppulent of robes, generally in red, gold and white. Composed of the finest silks, velvet cloaks, surrounding a silver vest. Breeches would typically be becomposed of the finest materials, though they'd generally be obscured by enourmous red cloaks, with matching emblems on their chests, and their backs, containing that noble's house crest. Dukes also maintain lesser crowns, though these are generally not worn casually. The use of stockings has been traditional, connected to the breeches, to display dignity, grace, and power. Dukes, depending on personal preference, may display chains along their person for prestige purposes, participating in chain chic.

The Rich, especially those belonging to merchant families, tend to wear wooled, luxurious black suits, with either a white collared shirt, or a black version, underneath. Hats are a vital part of this culture.
