Chapter 849 - Elendor [13]

The white and gold uniform is a symbol of strength and loss. The significance of said uniform goes back to a time of war and never-ending suffering. A time when people died more than babes were born, a time of constant agony and fear. The colors white – surrender, and gold, strength – a warring noble with a hundred men faced an army of thousand. The opposition had claimed and destroyed all, what little remained was undergarments of which were white. In force to display their unity despite the odds, the soldiers stood behind their master in nothing save white. The action signaled the birth of the white surrender, life in exchange for all possession. The more time elapsed, the more meaning grew attached to the uniform till a divergence. The first bloodied white flag, not only did the attackers not respect the surrender, they stole and killed.
