CLOTHING AND WEAPONS

• No items of the Shadow shall be worn at any time.
• No metal armor shall be worn at any time. Shields are however acceptable.
• The following are the only weapon classes to be used by Novices, Accepteds, and Sisters-- short blades, staves, spears, whips, javelins, projectiles, medium blades or fencing blades.
• Individual items that have been deemed unacceptable are: black swords, inky black cloaks, gleaming black swords, badges of the trolloc hordes, necklaces of human teeth, armor of the trolloc hordes and wickedly scythed longswords.
• Found Tower clothing should be returned to the proper person. Rings and dresses should be given to Sheriam Sedai, Gaidin equipment should be given to Coulin, and shawls should be returned to the member of the correct Ajah. Rewards will come in time, rather than immediately.
• Failure to comply with these regulations will result in any offending item being confiscated and possible removal from the White Tower.

• To speak no word that is not true.
