	The garment itself tends to suggest both authority and spirituality.

[[Materials#Weltsilver\|Moonsilver]] and [[Materials#Orichalcum\|sungold]] threads are used to embroider the outer robe with symbols of spiritual power – often the Labyrinth, the wheel, or ~~the~~ iconography of the seven Virtues (especially [[Wisdom]] and [[Vigilance]]).

	House Bourné produces a popular alternate design they have dubbed the ''Seer's Ensemble''. It abandons the more usual gold-and-white colour scheme in favour of a deep blue cloth patterned with curving weltsilver lines reminiscent of sunlight on water – a design that has obvious [[Asavean Archipelago\|Asavean]] influences and has allegedly proved quite popular in [[the Brass Coast]].
