**Lareneg is superstitious and ''thinks'' his uniform is magic.
** Or, he is trying to blind the enemy with his shiny uniform.

* '''Inverted''': Lareneg's uniform consists of ragged, poor man's clothes.
* '''Subverted''': Lareneg exits the changing tent wearing gold and jewels. He subsequently realizes that he mistakenly put on a special outfit reserved for ceremonies, and rushes back in to change into his field uniform.

* '''Enforced''': The two sides need to be [[Dress
