Clothing 11/13/2004 10:45 AM CST

I'm hoping someone here can help me, I'm doing a little project and need to know the name of at least one item of Elothean clothing. Preferably something like a robe but can be shirt or pants. I need to know this information before Monday so if any of you can help please post here, thank you.

Elotheans probably have (or should I say had) the most developed system of clothing. Robes and under-robes of silk and lace were favored, and there's a book about it in the Shard Library. The Ferdahl even has a special material only she can wear. This is an example of it: a shimmering silver brocade under-robe woven with iridescent surlae theal'a thread in shifting tones of glimmering apricot to tangerine.

According to the Bakshiloa (http://www.bakshiloa.com) website, "surlae theal'a" translates to "light of the ocean."

I really needed something like 'shirt' or 'robe', Rakash have the Odaj, S'kra the Gamantang (think I spelled that right). I did find items on that site but couldn't find 'shirt, pants' etc.... thank you for trying.

Umm...maybe because Elotheans call robes robes? I checked the site myself and they have a listing of 49 Elothean clothing items. Not to mention all the Elothean-specific jewelry, but that's not what you're looking for.

Unfortunately Gerenshuge is one of the languages that haven't been fully fleshed out yet, so we don't know what the words for specific items of clothing are.

I am looking for any information pertaining to the weapons and clothing of the Elotheans. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Think Japanese. Robes (Kimonos), blades (katana-type weapons), sandals/slippers, sashes (obi).

Did you have a question?

I've seen two merchants with Elothean clothing, the Silk Lotus and Sumptuous Silks. The merchants haven't been seen for awhile, but the link below may give you some ideas.

Also, the jewelers in Riverhaven sell steel-bladed silk fans, which are a LE/LB swappable weapon with verbs that come from the Elothean House of the Steel Dove. They aren't a great weapon, but I love the flavor of them. My Elothean paladin uses one, and she plans to get another for dual-wielding.

She also hopes that plans to make them are released into the new crafting system, with artistry and weaponsmithing elements. That would make her oh so happy.

You know what else would be awesome to go with artistry? Calligraphy.
