Default Gold accoutrements/embellishments
Hullo everybody,

There are communities where gold on kerises/weapons and indeed, the wearing of gold by males, is expressly forbidden, regardless of status/rank. However, humans being human, some conveniently forget this taboo while others mix the gold into alloys etc. to circumvent this taboo.

Best,
