Clothing

Silk is the predominant fabric in Bishani. It is incredibly flexible and can be woven into the sheerest of fabrics or thick warm cloth. Additionally, Bishani is home to a type of predatory short hair beast from which a very supple yet strong gray leather comes from. This leather can be dyed to create a pure shiny black. The sea in which the kingdom surrounds offers the ability to craft some of the most brilliant and desirable sea dyes in the land. Stunning reds, emerald greens, deepest indigo, and electric blue can be used to make lovely rich brilliant shades that when applied to the silks become a glorious array of rich jewel tones. The people of the Bishani are not terribly focused on fashion. The silk cloth is incredibly durable, and the emphasis on quality over quantity is the focus. Clothing takes longer to make as the silk can be difficult to work with, a long time to spin and even longer to weave. The Jillhani choose their clothing by their mood and activity. A woman could easily be found in a form fitting leather pant and crop top during the day and change into a sheer draping gown for the evening activities. Bare skin is common as the land is generally warm as evidenced by much of the tropical plants in the grottos off the sea. For warmth they will wear layers of the heavier silks over leather pants and tops.

Consequently the Ji'Mal (Noble) and Ji'Coi (inner Noble) pay dearly for their raiment, but do not replace them often. both men and women can be found in either pants or skirts. Leather dyed deep blues and purples is often worn in conjunction with soft draping shirts, robes, gowns and skirts. They tend to coil their hair up with painted beads/shells or delicate silver clips. They wear cloisonné jewelry. Silk flowing light gown, no sleeves, small train following her along the floor, draped in silks that are semi transparent, loose silk dress, sandals, hair done up in piled braids, but only on the top no hair on the sides or back of her head.

Formal attire, light drappy gowns for females, tight fitting pants with long, perhaps loose, tunics decorated with silver and red. Priests and temple servants wear ceremonial wraps around their chest and hips. Other versions of this are also worn in the house when no guests are expected.

The Ji'Ken usually choose to wear simple leather creations to bare their often intricately detailed tattoos. Their hair is frequently worn long and loose or simply tied back away from the face. On occasion painted silken robes or gowns and sandals are worn for holidays or other special events.
