Equipment
The Blades of the Lily come from a different background than most of the Blades roaming the streets of Ul'dah, leading to small differences in their weapons, armor, and uniform.
Much like the Brass Blades of the Orchid prefer Katar's and other fist weapons, the Blades of the Lily, do not carry the standard Scimitar.

Arms: The Blades of the Lily come from high threat areas deep in the Sagolii, where the main enemy was Amalj warriors. To cut through their thick hides, they favor heavy Falchions. Bucklers are useless against the many archers in a Beastman raiding party, so instead they use large tower shields.
Armor: The only modification of the standard armor is the gauntlet. Brass Blades of the Lily prefer 'five fingered' gauntlets, instead of the mitten-like ones used by standard Blades. While less protective, they allow for better fine control.

Uniform: All Blades of the Lily wear a distinctive face paint pattern. It is red for trainees, and black for full soldiers. The changing of colors is part of a special ceremony when a recruit finishes training.
