⚜️Welcome to the Sword&Shield Simulator devlog #9 ⚜️
⚜️Danburg Fashion⚜️
Dear players, we have recreated medieval fashion👚, from a noble city mayor, through an able foreman, down to a battle-hardened man-at-arms - who will be the first antagonist the player meets!
The mayor🗝️ will give many quests related to the town’s safety🏰, where craftsmanship🛠️ will be more important than fighting skills, while the foreman at a local village will need a cunning blacksmith🗡️ to help him and his family in a difficult, war-torn reality. Some of you may already see where we took our inspirations for the “bad guys☠️”. Try and guess!
Here you can see what all of them look like
- The Mayor
- Craftsmen
- The Enemy

Sumtual Laws
Clothing was the quickest and easiest way to determine someone's status and position in life. A monk in a cassock, a servant in a livery, a peasant in a simple tunic, all were instantly recognizable, as was a knight in armor or a lady in a beautiful gown. Whenever members of the lower strata of society blurred the boundaries of social distinction by wearing clothes usually found only among the upper classes, people found this disturbing, and some saw it as downright offensive.
During the medieval era, and especially in the late Middle Ages, laws were passed to regulate what members of different social classes could and could not wear. These laws, known as sumptuary laws, not only attempted to maintain class separation, but also addressed excessive spending on all sorts of items. The clergy and more pious secular leaders had concerns about the conspicuous consumption to which the nobility was prone, and the sum laws were an attempt to reign in what some considered abominably ostentatious displays of wealth.
Although there are known cases of prosecutions under sum laws, they rarely worked. It was difficult to supervise all purchases. Since the penalty for breaking the law was usually a fine, the very rich could still purchase whatever they liked and pay the price without a second thought. Nevertheless, stately laws persisted in the Middle Ages.
