	A cassock is an ankle-length robe especially popular with priests of [[Highguard]] and [[the League]]. Among the priests of [[Varushka]] and the [[Navarr]] it is more likely to be a long coat, usually of stout wool with simple embroidery, and both nations tend to call it a ''Guide's Coat'' (albeit with slightly different implications). It may be tight or loose-fitting, and while it is often sumptuously dyed in rich colours with gold, silver or mithril embroidery, the Mendicant Cassock tends to be a much more utilitarian garment. Generally a Mendicant Cassock is of a singe colour, and styled for comfort and practicality rather than ostentation. Only in [[the Brass Coast]] are these vestments likely to be brightly coloured, if only because of the negative associations with black or white clothing.
