As the toga was somewhat in fashion, it was to be used only during official/government business. It would be worn mostly by officials and the like, while the average peasant would wear a tunic that belted at the waist. We'll go with a sleeveless tunic, and while working, serfs or slaves of kingdoms that follow the Charlemagne Empire mode of dress (tunics belted at the waist for men, unbelted for women) usually strip nude when working so they do not damage the clothing.Let's look at Laws for a bit, while we are discussing stuff like this.There's the Hammurabic Code, which did not differentiate between the rich and poor, nobility and sef.There's caste dependant codes, where things were forbidden for certian sections of the population, while others could indulge in the practice without fear of repercussions.It's necessary to decide just how well a kingdom sticks to the code.Let's pull out an old saw. I say that there was an Empire several hundred years ago, that is long gone, that had a fairly standardized code of law and justice. Many or the kingdoms follow the "Old Empire" laws as either a basework/foundation for thier own laws, or have picked and chose laws from the Old Empire to make thier own.Personally, I like the idea, strange and bizarre as it may sound, of Bushido following flinds somewhere. A serious, dire threat to the kingdoms that we're working on, but I'm not sure.OK, starting soon, I'll fill in the rest of the kingdoms between the two mountain ranges, and then we'll sort out what needs to be done.I'll remember the Charlemagne Era clothing, and see if I can find some examples that aren't in old books I've got.One thing, is at least they had leather shoes. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
