Kiri, are you sure about all that? The sumptuary restrictions, I believe, are
_customs_, not Corpora, and vary from kingdom to kingdom. I've never seen
a 15-pearled coronet in Calontir, either our native viscounts or any of the
number of visiting ones.
And livery collars are most assuredly custom, not Corpora; we don't have them
in Calontir (save for maybe one or two, who wear them for High Persona
Official High-Falutin' Events), and I doubt most people here even know
what one would be.
