Kaldar Attire
Unique Garments
Regular Apparel:
Sochi "Cloak" : Sewn from a generous rectangle of material, the cloak is tailored to fall in a straight line to the mid-calf. A short, semi-circular over-cape drapes loosely about the shoulders when not drawn into a deeply cowled hood.
- Sold: Albarian Imports
Ruven "Skirt": Fashioned from a rectangular cut of richly textured fabric, the calf-length skirt is designed to wrap once about the hips, overlapping in the front. A wide, thrice-wrapped swath of fragile Albarian lace overlays the skirt's waistband, hiding it from view while accentuating feminine curves
- Sold: Albarian Imports
Clergy and/or Religious Apparel
Muhenta "Necklace": a simple cord necklace with a holy symbol, and sometimes a few beads on either side. They are commonly worn by Kaldars of all social classes, though members of the clergy will occasionally wear more ornate variants.
Kisti "Belt": a wide (2.5-3") leather belt with a simple clasp, that is decorated along its length with engraved metal plates. Most commonly the design is a repeating symbol showing devotion to one god, though devotion to all gods is sometimes demonstrated as well whether this be 10 or 13 plates.
Arek domisaha "Gods Hat": a round, low close fitting hat made of wool, trimmed with metal knotwork or braided spiral around the circumference.
Lusks domisaha "Gods Coat": a long, heavy coat made of soft wool that buttons to the waist and flares out slightly below. They are usually a solid color with minimal or no decorative designs, though the wrist clasps are often ornate.
Moen takibena "Truths Ore": A rare metal found primarily in Albaria, it is pale green and has adverse effects on Oculars when it comes into contact with them. It tends to be used as a decorative device, forming symbols on weapons used to fight the Ocular as well as on religious paraphernalia. It's importantance in Kaldaran society has drastically decreased since the migration.
- Note: The arek and lusks usually match in color and design, and in all cases the metal is moen takibena* when available, though other precious metals are increasingly common due to lack of availability and a decreased threat from the Ocular.
