"Any clothing items that begin with Pr' are the Prydaen version of formal wear. A pr'(whatever) would not traditionally be every day wear but rather something you wore to a special gather or event. The general traditional view was to minimal adornment. Items would most often be selected due to how they enhanced the natural look of the person in question rather than with an eye towards changing ones appearance. This is why traditional garments are most typically made from shear fabrics as well."
-GM Oolan Jeel
Due to their unique significance, Pr'raahos cannot and will not be sold in mass quantities to the public. (per Albrhae's Adornments)

A Pr'ysin is a type of sash mainly used for weddings. It is a narrow strip of fabric, usually approx. 8 - 10" in width and 12' in length. A portion is gathered in asymmetrical pleats, which is then wrapped around the hips and secured with an elaborate bejeweled brooch. The remaining cloth is then draped over the opposite shoulder and allowed to act as a train behind the wearer. The train is usually shadow-embroidered with symbols meaningful to the bride.
