Colored belts
From MiddleWiki
(Redirected from Red belt)
Several colors of belts are restricted by sumptuary custom from general wear and should be avoided if you are not one of the following:
- White belts or baldric - Knight or Master of Arms
- Red belts - Squire
- Yellow belts - Protege
- Green belts - Apprentice
To make matters more confusing, some Laurels and Pelicans have been known to wear green and yellow belts, respectively, to denote their rank or to publicly proclaim that they are still learning (Laurel) or always in service to the kingdom (Pelican).
Blue belts are used by some households in the Midrealm use this color for their non-formal dependants like men at arms. Some Knights have also been known to use a black belt with a red stripe to signify their men at arms. If in doubt, stick to black or brown belts -- colors to which no person or group has claim.
