Still trying to figure out what “wealth” looks like in this world. My current thinking is “clothes that look incredibly intricate and restrictive show that the wearer doesn’t need to work. Or move.

You're so clever. That's a great idea.

JUST barely showing lewd bits, perfect

Dont need to move? Than can the ultra wealthy look like bondage art and are carried everywhere?

Can always go for the MEGA rich literally just lounge around naked, everyone else does their stuff for them. Like literally everything, washing, feeding, "fun"... all the important things.

"I can afford enough servants to constantly fan me, and Ice shipped down from the mountains (or whatever) to put in my drinks, that I can stay cool even while wearing more than the bare minimum of clothing! Ha!"

I remember seeing a neck to toe leather corset dress years ago. When I asked how you were supposed to walk in it, the response was "your slaves carry you"

Typically the fashion of the wealthy either followed the ruler or somehow conveyed that they could gain something that was hard to get. For instance having pale skin meant you were wealthy enough to not have to work in the field. Or having blackened teeth (yes this was real in the Elizabethan era it was popular to blacken ones teeth) to show you were able to afford sugary foods enough to mess with your teeth. If I recall right about this setting, iron is very rare yes? So perhaps something like the wealthy accentuating their bodies with various iron piercings. Rings, barbells that sort of thing in extravagant patterns.

If this means we get to see some casual wear fantasy bondage gear...?

I like the intricate. But honestly the lazy rich would likely want to be comfortable too. Or at least functional when lazing about/hosting whatever. Give them elaborate embroidery and lacing. Rare handcrafted patterns in their clothing. And purely intricate ornamentation for their clothing. But still at least semi-functional as clothing. Intricate and complex body piercings could work. Especially if the piercings are made from something rare and/or extremely hard to get.

Reminds me of something from a light novel where a king in it went out of his way to make himself morbidly obese because it showed both his own personal wealth but also the prosperity of his country.

I thought cotton like cloth was more rare than silk cloth. Wouldn't an outfit of the former be a display of wealth then?

Exile

Given everyone poor or freelance adventures are most naked; maybe alot of cloth and precious metals?

I think very impractical piercings could also work wonders. Like pierced nipples + chains to connect them to idk the ears. Not being able to properly move is a good start, but with RL examples in mind they could also be fat to show they can afford to be

It would largely depend on local culture/agriculture. If a nation/state/fiefdom/kingdom produces lots of cotton. Then some places you might see all classes wear it. Just varying degrees of quality. Like say a nice super soft white cotton shirt...that would be within the clothing of the nobility. Since their price would demand the best. Where as a peasant might wear a very poor quality cotton. One that is not nice looking and maybe itchy, hence why they might prefer unclothed most of the time. Or the peasants might get to wear cotton, even good stuff. While the nobility import fine silks and wools that the poor might never be able to afford or they might be able to get small items (like say a silk hat, or wool socks). It all depends on culture, agriculture, trade.

This whole thing with nobles is making me wonder - in terms of weight, what's "too big" for a girl for you, Scalli? I know you're not really a BBW-focused artist, but you seem to dabble a bit, and I feel like it would be a damn good fit for a noblewoman to be fairly hefty.

Elberik

I'm reminded of a Lewis Black bit about hiring a personal ball washer

Jadeskye

Throw in some bondage. Noble fashion. Only the wealthy can afford to have their arms bound at a party and have their servent carry their drink for them all night.

Jaelyn Mcgee

agreed, especially since being skinny feels like a peasant move

Owen Garrett

Right? What better way to show you're too rich to move than by packing on a few?

KingMarkus22

Yea they definitely give off that nobility vibe

TheLoreMaker

Clothing is actually an indicator of wealth for much of the world. Even to this day.

David O.

Clothes, hair styles, and hats, jewelry, family crests and colors, and capes can all be signs of money. The way I plan to run the game is that each race/area of the world will have different ways of showing off their wealth. Dragonkin don't have hair, so maybe they'll have other special things that highlight their long brain tendrils.

David Carlisle

These housecarls all seem to be fighting-fit fuckbuddues

Moon

what about tattoos? the intricacy could be on their skin. large, intricate tattoos display wealth of money and time.

Moon

i think dragonkin have some softer bits they could tattoo, or they could perhaps dye their scales for some kind of mosaic look, but considering the cost of ink, the physical and mental cost of getting a tattoo, and the sheer time it takes to do tattoos with stick-and-poke i think could display wealth really well. and be nice to look at :)
