Landsraad Regalia
Electors,
I'm of the mind of creating regalia - in the sense of decorations, insignia and special dress indicative of membership of the Imperial Electorate - for the members of the Landsraad, and I hereby invite you to submit ideas and suggestions concerning this matter.
Among things that I was thinking of are robes and a chain of office.

Lady Praetor
From what I understand, the marker of your office has, by tradition, been the gavel and the praetor's hat. The hat is not always worn, it's been up to each praetor, but it's a symbol of the office, and should be included in the regalia. A cloak of office, rather than robe, is what I would recommend, and it would fit nicely with the history of the Landsraad.

Re: Landsraad Regalia
If I recall, there is already a sword. Perhaps just a chain of office and an over-embroidered red and gold Byzantine style sash. As for the electors... perhaps something equivalent to a marshal's baton as a badge of office, and I expect everyone to dress like late 19th century cavalry officers... even the women, with a purple sash to carry on the Imperial connotations.

Re: Landsraad Regalia
There's something odd about combining the military top half with the flowing dress bottom half. Catherine the Great is a better inspiration in that regard.

Does Shireroth have an established formal attire? Elwynn seems to have vastly contrasting seasonal apparel and other than that Im unaware of any.Heath Belledin wrote:Business wear is fine.

Not really, but since its a sprawling feudal-futurist technocracy with arcane under-tones; I'd say use Dune as a starting point...Erik did.Ryker wrote:Does Shireroth have an established formal attire?

Re: Landsraad Regalia
Which would mean 19th Century cavalry officer uniform. Because there is only one adaptation of Dune.

For a Froyalanish Vanakvinna like me there are - among the garments that are accepted as formal attire for attending a legislature such as the Landsraad or the Royal Parliament - the Bunad or one of the many Priestessly ceremonial gowns.

Something like this would be nice:
1.Titus Morvayne, Prefect of Shirekeep, Count of the Skyla Islands
2.Eki Aholibamah Verion, Queen in the North
3. Ludovic Verion, Lord of Blackstone and Governor-General of the Iron Company
4. Jeremy Harwinsson Archer, super sleuth

Re: Landsraad Regalia
I suppose adding a "Landsraad Division" of cavalry to the orbat would be sufficient to excuse Electors strutting around like demented peacocks whilst dressed as Hussars, Uhlans and so forth.
Re: Landsraad Regalia
I had in the back of my mind the idea of the creation of a Landsraad Guard for purposes of ceremony and protocol, with its (wo)manpower provided by the Imperial States and the Imperial Dominions/Government.

Re: Landsraad Regalia
We can also use the Apollonian guard?

And of course the cudgellers-at-arms are quite capable of keeping the peace.

Re: Landsraad Regalia
The Apollonian Guard were demoted to latrine guards after their escapades under Mordechai Kraut and Lord Montague.
Re: Landsraad Regalia
The duty of providing for the security of the Landsraad is already conferred uopn the Mango Rangers. The Landsraad Guard would be purely for ceremonial.Verion wrote:And of course the cudgellers-at-arms are quite capable of keeping the peace.

Re: Landsraad Regalia
The idea, however, of having a Cudgeller-at-Arms as the Landsraad equivalent of a Serjeant-at-Arms very much appeals to me.

And also to allow for the use of mounted police, which would help with security immensely, because I imagine the Palace of Zirandorthel (TODO: model) is not a small building.Kaiser Dominus wrote:I suppose adding a "Landsraad Division" of cavalry to the orbat would be sufficient to excuse Electors strutting around like demented peacocks whilst dressed as Hussars, Uhlans and so forth.
