The meaning of the hood

I've been asked as to why so many of the Amarr wear concealing hoods. There's a simple enough answer. We wear them for the same reason that executioners do, or inquisitors. When we enter our capsules we are the instruments of a divine State, it's hands and eves. Our individual visages and identities are unnecessary, and would indeed dilute our purpose.

We are one in the hood, resolute through it's uniformity. It reinforces our conviction and strengthens our morale to go, into battle or mission, dressed in our ancestral attire.
