Pridish Lifestyle

Mage Fashion
Graduated mages typically wear long overcoats similar in the style to japanese haori. These thin coats are ceremonial and protected by law to only be worn by mages. Each is personalised for the wearer and bears geometric patterning and colours from either the mage's family flag or their academy. The scale of colour and patterning differs individual to individual and can range from simple hem decoration to an all over pattern, typically the more colour and patterning present the higher the graduate level of the mage. Mages who are yet to graduate from an academy also wear a version of this style that is entirely black bar a stitched pattern that rests over their left breast depicting their academy's flag.

Mages also adorn themselves with jewelerry that aligns with their interests, often depicting runes or sigils essential for casting favoured spells or containing componants needed in their spells. This also holds true for tattoos which are far more common per capita in the mage community than in the general population.

Food and Meals
Pridish food isn't the most experimental that can be found in the Known World, but they do have their specialities. The average Pridish person eats more meat a year than the average person from anywhere else in the Known World, with it being unusual for any given meal to not contain a single form of meat or animal byproduct. However, the Pridish are rather well known for their dislike and distrust of any meat derived from the sea with fish and shellfish being absent from their common dishes.

Typically a Pridish day contains three meals. A meal upon waking, a meal at midday, and a meal in early to mid- evening. Pridish meals are traditionally served banquet style, with a number of disparate ingredients and dishes brought to the table and shared amongst the group.

Money
Pridain has five distinct pieces of currency, with the lowest value piece being named a round. The round is the base-line measurement of the currency. All other pieces of currency can be broken down easily into the round.

The second lowest value piece of coinage is known as a claw and has the value of three round. The tusk has the value of two claw or six round. The antler has the value of three horns or nine round. And lastly the wing has a value of two tusk, four claw, or twelve round.

It is expected that the average itinerant worker or trader can survive on about a claw a day.
