Hello,

I have asked to used "bleached" in alterations before and I have been told that "bleach" does not exist in GS times.

Please clarify if "bleached" may be used in alterations?


Items from the Farm:

In the modwir case you see a bleached bone key blank, an iron key blank, an imflass key blank, a mithril key blank, a silvery mithril arrowhead, a pitted bronze buckle, a spiraled silver stud, a pair of thick mithril buckles, a burnished rose gold toggle, a circular hammered iron brooch and a small modwir sign.


>look on tab
On the modwir table you see a pair of ironwood fasteners, a small bleached kakore buckle, a white-painted circular modwir brooch, a pair of carved orase toggles, a thin spiraled ruic bar, a trio of carved ironwood buttons, a rough natural modwir toggle, a thick silvery orase buckle, a triangular pale mistwood brooch and a small modwir sign.

Easily obtainable chemical bleach products may be a more recent thing, but the bleaching process is something that occurs in nature and has been as long as there's been sunlight and moisture.

There's some ammunition for the allowance of 'bleached' as a valid, period descriptor in alterations, anyway.

It would truly surprise me if there is not at least one room description somewhere in-game that mentions "bone bleaching in the sun".
