Color

Among longtime residents of Sanctus, certain behaviors and practices are widespread. Among these is a unique use of color symbolism.

From tattoos, body paint and hair dye, all the way to vibrant food carts, colors and symbols have defined meanings that are intuitive to natives of Sanctus. It is common practice to express one’s personality through color upon your body. Simple white triangles under the eyes, for instance, indicate a person of piety and practice. When on weapons and armor, however, meanings change.
