Fez

The Fez is a type of cylindrical hat, usually made of felt or stiff cloth. Fezzes and similar items of clothing are found in many of the cultures on Azeroth, often with very specific and wildly varying cultural, religious and martial significance and symbolism. This article is a WIP - feel free to write sections on other cultures since I probably won't.

The fez is a common sight among members of the League of Arathor, serving as one of several broad symbols of a united, strong and traditional highlands. This usage derives from the prevalence of the fez in art from the late Imperial Period, including its wear by several Emperors. Usually, fezzes in the Highlands are black, red, or dark green, with dark green being the most prominent among League members and black or undyed the most common among Highlands traditionalists and, increasingly, Northern Hills Reformists.

The fez is becoming more and more common in Highlands society as a symbol of martial solidarity with the League and the surviving Legions. The perspective of the fez as an affectation of conservative old men remains, though it diminishes yearly with the increasing import of the hat as a symbolic rallying point. In the capital city, it has recently become fashionable to wear fancier and fancier hats which provide no further substantive benefits, sometimes including extremely oversized and decorated fezzes.
