Editing Valkor (section)

==Appearance and Customs==

With regard to appearance, the sectarians tend to be more alike than they are different.  Novices dress in plain simple robes, the colour identifies the sect (red for fire, blue for water, brown for earth, yellow for air).  Priests and Patriarchs continue to wear coloured robes of heavier weight (and warmth). Higher rank priests and may have embroidery and small ornamentation on their robe, but as a group, most sectarians do not wear jewelry. 
 
If a priest has sworn an oath of chastity, they will wear a white robe regardless of their sect.
 
Sometimes there are differences within a sect, some monasteries require that all members shave their heads bald, others prohibit any cutting of body hair.
