THE IDEA FORGE

This day of 12/18/2025:

Upon request of members here on out website and elsewhere, I was asked to officiate the conical hate design as part of the Druish Identity. After careful considerations I have determined it is a reasonable request and falls within the historical representations that only later was applied solely to Warlocks and Witches head-ware and drew from its true original source known as a Capotain Conical Hat which did not occur till the 19th century, renamed with its modern adaptations as a Druish Conical Hat.

Historical Decline and Druish Adoption

The capotain-style conical hat reached its height of everyday use between c. 1590s–1660s, worn widely across England and Northern Europe by Puritans, Protestants, merchants, and urban professionals. Its tall, flat-topped crown, buckle, and structured form reflected seriousness, discipline, and practicality rather than spectacle.

By the late 17th century, changing fashions—shorter crowns, rounded and tricorn hats, broader brims,…

This is both serious and based on a sense of humor, and can be applied as a form of propaganda because, well, it is. Propaganda is strategic communication designed to influence public opinion, beliefs, or actions, often by presenting biased, misleading, or emotionally charged information to promote a specific agenda, political cause, or ideology, rather than objective facts, using techniques like selective facts, loaded language, and repetition to bypass rational thought.

2) Speak in your people’s experience

These are my top 20 key story writing questions one should ask when writing about specific persons or events that may be included as part of the Druan-specific collections or tops as in other areas of our group pages. Review them for clarity.

The more original the content, the better it will be, and obviously, the more aligned and relatable with all the previous information as the essential foundations of Druwayu, it will make it all that much better.

It does not need to be purged of any humor either. Every culture should have some sense of humor especially about itself, as it helps keep things more respectful and less prone to paranoid exaggerations, fears, and excuses. Also, if you dont see a topic category, create one.
