Policy-4

The Proposal
====New Policies====
1.) Adding Men-yoroi to Auxiliary Armor
Men-yoroi means face armor.
Designating a piece of armor as 'Auxiliary' means that it can be made out of thinner material (0.91mm instead of the required 1.22mm). This would make both making and buying men-yoroi easier to do consistently. Not to mention more comfortable! (and arguably potentially safer)
2.) Allowing Men-yoroi Facial hair to match hair color
Many Men-yoroi have facial hair. While not required, We'd like to open up options to dye the facial hair to match a warrior's hair color if they choose. This assumes that the hair color is natural and not something like green, blue, etc.
3.) Drawing a line in the sand on what we consider acceptable forms of shields.
Policy-11 has overturned this ruling in May of 2021.
We already ban back shields, but we haven't quite taken a stance on other types of body shields. We ban back shields because they act as game-only practices of armor replacement. We'd like to take it a step further and require that you have to physically hold a shield with your hand for it to be allowed.
Auxiliary members still maintain the right to use shields of their choice. They are not subject to this policy.
Finally we will also make another exception for do-shields to be used to annoy lothtarians. But only to annoy lothtarians. (This point will become hilariously clear in the coming months)

Refining Tier 2 of Command Staff Garb Standards
The most powerful Verditians in the Empire have a right to design their own standards according to title. Tier 2 of Command Staff is going to reflect individual approaches to the position instead of a generic encompassing policy.
One of the first major changes is expanding a Verditian Lord only perk to this tier: interior rank seals. We'd allow Verditians of this tier to pick options that define their desired look within the Verditian Command structure. As these class of Verditians have more than earned their position, there would be certain exceptions granted.
