New Tehir Clothing Line To Premiere at Rumor Woods 2022

RUMOR WOODS: GM Xayle previews a new line of Tehir Clothing (and nouns…) for Rumor Woods 2022. She’s brought to life garments right out of lore documents, plus new ones. Read the details for each ready to wear item:

Surrounded by heaps of colorful linen, muslin, and cotton, the merchant turns in place, eyeing each trunk as if mentally cataloging her inventory. One trunk of aseges, layered and adorned with charms and beading, one trunk of erasay, short-sleeved and sleeveless, and one trunk of duaidz, some with slashed legs and others without. Tapping her bottom lip with a ringed thumb, her dark eyes pass to a smaller chest of artim, all with rush or wood soles, then to a jewelry box, brimming with glittering tisrins and tesarits. Satisfied with her accounting, she closes each container in turn and motions over her shoulder. Several men filter in to aid in carrying the larger trunks out of the pavilion and into her caravan for travel, while she carefully tucks the jewelry box under her arm and disappears into the blinding sunlight outside. She had somewhere to be soon, something to see: The Battle of the Unicorn and the Dragon!

New for 2022’s Rumor Woods are additional Tehir clothing and jewelry nouns:

Many of these items already existed in Tehir lore with specific styling notes, but were simply called shirts or tunics or pants or sandals. But, in an effort to further enhance the cultural richness of the Tehir, we’ve given the common items their own names and added a couple of completely new items: the tisrin (a ring) and the tesarit (a single, dangling earring).

aseges – women’s layered skirts – These garments are considered outlets of creativity for Tehir women and range from solid colors to patterned, often accomplished by block printing repeatedly to form overlapping geometric patterns. Women often bustle their skirts by tying some up while leaving others loose. These skirts always have a waistband fitted with ribbon ties that serve as additional adornment when not in use and aid in the bustling when in use, while the hems of the skirts are decorated with beads, belled-chains, and charms.

artim – gender-neutral sandal – These are worn either ankle-tied or loose, possessing a simple bifurcated strap that begins between the toes and extends across the top of the foot. Tehir sandals are formed on rush, wood, or hide soles. Some women take fancy to intricately braiding the leather commonly used in their construction.

tisrin – ring – Worn by both men and women alike, these rings appear when worn to be multiple separate rings stacked a small space apart, however the ring is actually a single piece, fused and joined along the back. Worn between the knuckles at varying heights to avoid restricting movement.

tesarit – earring – A single dangling earring worn by men and women alike on formal occasions. Typical components usually include a totem-carved bone – animal, symbol, etc-, a brightly colored glass or gemstone bead, and a single spherical bell.

erasay – men’s tunic – An erasay is distinctive because it will have either a notched or drawstring neckline, have short or no sleeves, and is typically worn by men of high status.

duaidz – men’s bloused trousers – These are frequently worn in conjunction with an erasay, and they can be tailored either with or without vents, which typically run from the lower thigh to just above the cuff.

Doomicorn take the wheel.
