clothing in Black Marsh

[KuKulzA]

I will post up the concept art for these when they are done

[/hr]
now clothing is not a big thing here. It is wet, tropical, and mucky, not a good place for extensive clothing. There are however people who wear clothes and some clothing styles. Some things aren't even actual 'clothing' per say but count as clothes, but not cloths

so these are the new blothings in the mod ! (most Imperials/outlanders will wear Cyrodiilic stuff)

Nobility Styles - the local nobility is the regime of the Archeins. They are the kleptocracts. Furthermore, they are a group of Argonians who have bred so that they have emphasized parts such as frills, dashing colors, and overall a look of royalty, beauty, and pride. Their clothing is actually not comprehensive, it is only there to add to their proud air. Note many of the clothes are also imitations of the clothing of Kothringi rulers and nobility.

• Archein Cloaks (4 variants) (concept)
  "He was an impressive figure, a nobleman in a flashing dark green cloak the exact same color as his scaled skin, and a frilled hood that was part of his flesh and sat upon his head like a horned crown"... The cloaks will come in varieties of dark red, yellow, green, and blue. The inside will be a slightly lighter and shinier shade of the overall color.
  
• Noble Garb (2 variants) (concept 1)
  this is the clothing of nobles, wealthy merchants, and scholars in Black Marsh
  
• Royal Court Robe (2 variants)
  these shiny and soft robes are black/green and black/yellow, made of black salamander hide

Tribal Styles - most Argonians don't wear much in the way of clothing. However there are certain semblances of clothing that tribes will wear. Some tribes tend to wear one kind over another. Clothing tends to be regional

• Bead-clothing
  this is basically layers of beads-on-a-string worn as clothing.
  
• Bone-clothing (3 variants)
  this is a curious weave of bones, teeth, claws, and skulls into clothing. There is a Woodland, Swampland, and Coastal variants. Woodland has more mammilian, swamplands has more reptilian, and coastal has fish and shellfish
  
• Vine-clothing (2 variants)
  This is clothing made simply of wrapped vines, there is an emerald green and a dark green
  
• Plumed-clothing (4 variants)
  This is basically some hide and bird feathers. There are multi-color, black, blue/green, and brown/white variations.
  
• Traveling Shaman's Garb
  this is a simple orange robe and a leaf hat, simple and practical
  
• Priest-king's Garb
  The Priest-King, leader of the Sage's Circle and most respected of all Argonian shamans, has an orange shawl, arm and leg bands made of fibrous rope, and with bits of bone and shells covering some other parts of his body. He has an elaborate leaf for a hat

Dunmeri Styles - though Velothi already live along the border, when the recent migration of self-exiled Dres and Velothi came into Arnesian they brought with them their clothing styles. We won't go too indepth with Dunmer clothing. Whatever we lack here can be added from Vvardenfell which has A LOT of Dunmer clothing, especially common and luxurious Dunmer clothes

• Dres Traveling Cloak
  "...and three cloaked fellows who were evidently Dunmer, judging by the red eyes that gleamed in the shadows under their hoods..." This is a trademark article of clothing for the Dunmer of Black Marsh. In this province the stereotype of the Dunmer is a quiet, cunning Dunmer wrapped in a black cloak. They come in a few varieties, indigo blue, black, dark green, and dark brown.
  
• Velothi Guar-hide Clothes (3 variants)
  these clothes are made of cured guar-hide. There are 3 kinds, striped, normal (orange-tan), and green (with stripes)
  
• Velothi Fibrous Clothes (concept)
  made of fibers kneeded and woven to make a slightly itchy but durable and practical set of clothes. It makes for an excellent rain-coat and good working clothes.
  
• Velothi Fibrous Dress
  made of fibers kneeded and woven to make a slightly itchy but durable and practical dress. It is like the Fibrous Shirt except extended to cover the legs, but ends at the ankle, long enough to be conservative but not a hindrance to movement.

Commoner Styles - these might be mostly found on the border towns and outposts where Argonians live in a semi-civilized mix of Imperial influence and tribal ways. They make clothing to fit the Imperial notion of it but use local materials

• Monkey-skin Clothes (2 variants)
  one variant is made of black and the other yellow-tan
  
• Cotton Skirt
  a simple cotton skirt for female Argonian commoners
  
• Leather Clothes (2 variants)
  one variant is made of snake-skin another is of cow-hide
  
• Leather Skirt (2 variants)
  one variant is made of snake-skin another is of cow-hide

no, we won't be making clothes from him... that would be impractical, you get soo little hide

but a monkey like Howler Monkey would be pretty good, get a few and stitch up the hides
