How would you guys go about adding Bleached elements into a Soulslike that are subtle enough to only be understood by those in the knows, but also prominent enough to play an active role? Like, maybe a covenant or a group of items maybe, or maybe even an NPC, any ideas? I'd love to hear what my White Kings imagine.
Not white, but I imagine an easy way would to be have a good-aligned faction that uses White in their name but like a more fantasy color name. "Ivory Knights", "Pale Guardians", "Pearl Sentinels" etc.
Going off of what AryanSuperSoldier said, it could be that all of the high end, really good gear is all made or related to the white coded civilization. Blades that never loose their edge, armor that shatters steel, magic and technology beyond what could be normally made locally. Going off of environmental story telling, have them "civilize" the place. Have great statues and monuments of a different style that is imposing and grand compared to whatever other environment. Tell how they tamed the land, basically use a lot of the colonialist myths and European imperialist ideas but play them unapologetically straight.
