⚶ Traditional Clothing - Robes ⚶
► Most Jedi adorn themselves in plain, tan robes. This is considered an act of piety and deference. It is also an in-ornate way of expressing your involvement with the Order.
► Librarians tend to wear more ornate clothing with specific runes on them, symbolizing their position and duty within the Order.
► Jedi may wear what they wish as long as it is classified as “robes”, and does not stand out ornately from their fellow Jedi.
► Robes that are overtly ornate are NOT forbidden, but it is highly recommended you dress appropriately lest you receive the chastisement of a Master.
► Apprentices are to wear the Braid T-Shirt if they can afford it, and will remove it upon being knighted, or leaving the Order.

⚶ Crystal Gatherings - Initiates & Knights ⚶
► Though finding your crystal is vital to your advancement within the Jedi Order, it is neither permanent nor essential in the long run of your time within it.

Upon gathering your crystal, you will be asked to recite the following Code, and it is as follows:
► The crystal is the heart of the blade.
► The heart is the crystal of the Jedi.
► The Jedi is the crystal of the Force.
► The Force is the blade of the heart.
► All are intertwined.
► The crystal, the blade, the Jedi.
► You are one. ~ The Crystal Code
