Random Vana'Diel Question Thread

[Etrigan]

Hi All,

I just wanted to start a thread (and ask a question in it of course) relating to random things that we see or are curious about in this world we spend so much time in.

So here we go, Camate or any of the other Community Reps here's the first question

Why is it that Hydra Corps White Mages can wear Crimson / Blood Gear? (Specifically the legs and feet) *see below*

Isn't there already a thread for this?
