I suppose this only applies to new packages? There's not a trade in program is there?

Say, out of curiosity, what culture are the torques for? That a Kaldar cultural thing?

While I can't answer for all cultures comprehensively, Rissans were the first to use torques as part of their wedding culture. The book on Rissan Wedding customs describes the torques, as well as the various customs related to the Rissan wedding torques.

What exactly are torques? I've always wondered.

My understanding is that they are a metal band that goes around the neck, much like a necklace. It is split in front and the ends are often styled in some form or another.

I could be mixing things up in my rattled brain, it's been known to happen

Google is your friend. Try torque and torc.

Not all of us follow a code. That much is evident.

Here are a few links to some torques I thought were especially beautiful.

I think the torques are for the furries.

If torques/torcs were for furries, they'd not have been being sold since the game went live in some shops.

Not necessarily. The tradition of using them for a WEDDING implement could be a furry thing, even if the wearing of them is more broad.

Another hint.

Find something that looks like walking unfinished luggage, and that's who uses tailbands.

Having had to deal with luggage at an airport recently, I wish mine walked itself. If nothing else, just to freak out the TSA.
