	Deep in the jungles, pockets of dragon fruit groves have been discovered and cultivated for raising su'chao'ani, special caterpillar larve. They thrive on the long, leathery leaves. These pale green caterpillars are coveted for the threads that can be harvested from their cocoons and spun into silk. The silk produced from these rainforest creatures have a natural shimmer to them, making garments seem as if they are changing color as the wearer moves.		<section begin=su'chao />Deep in the jungles, pockets of dragon fruit groves have been discovered and cultivated for raising su'chao'ani, special caterpillar larve.

	The Dhe'nar have learned to break apart the cocoons and spin the fibers into silk thread. It can be soaked in dye to create beautifully patterned or colorful cloth without losing the natural shimmer. The silk fabric is usually worn by those of higher rank, but it is not uncommon for anyone in the populace to own at least one item made from the material to wear for special occasions.

	In general, the populace wears loose fitting clothing of light materials. Pants, skirts, long and short tunics, belts, sandals, and shirts are all very common. The different castes may have their own traditional clothing, such as the priestesses wearing robes, usually of the finest silks and linens. The warriors I saw wore leather armor. I asked about the quality of their leather and was told they were crafted by the best of their dwarven artisans.		In general, the populace wears loose fitting clothing of light materials.

	While loading supplies, a young man came walking down the docks. I noted that the workers paused to admire his headband.

	When the man had gone, I asked one of the workers what they had been doing. He explained to me that the young man had just earned his headband. He had gone on his Great Hunt and had killed a black nhil'mon. He went on to explain that the man had chosen that creature because it was the most dangerous in the area. He hunted without weapons or armor, only relying on his natural skills, and had made a successful kill. The headband was made from the skin and teeth of the lizard and is a symbol of hunting prowess, bravery, but most importantly, a symbol of coming of age.

	Later in the afternoon, a tall Dhe'nar man strode down to where I had laid out the wares I had for trade. He stood tall and looked me in the eyes with an air of authority. I noted a sash that hung diagonally across his chest. It was made from fine silk and shimmered in the sunlight. There was a series of runes embroidered down the center and around a circular symbol. The entire piece was adorned with obsidian beads that seemed to blend into the patterns.		Later in the afternoon, a tall Dhe'nar man strode down to where I had laid out the wares I had for trade.

There was a series of runes embroidered down the center and around a circular symbol. The entire piece was adorned with obsidian beads that seemed to blend into the patterns.

	He spoke with a strong commanding voice when asking about my goods. He was interested in some gold ingots as well as several cases of fine spirits. He spent quite a bit of time looking through my gem cases. As he began to open the trading, my eyes were drawn to the designs on his sash. Curiosity got the best of me, so I asked about the symbols. He paused for a moment before smiling. He told me that most traders do not ask questions, just complete their business and leave. He went on to explain what they meant. He traced the circular symbol and told me that it indicated he was a member of the Warlock caste and was a misri su'gnosa, a master of knowledge. The fine quality of his sash, and the jewelry he wore, was indication of his high rank. I bowed politely to acknowledge his rank, but I bartered just like I would with everyone else and soon came away with a bolt of silk that he called su'chao silk.

	Producing a long piece of fabric, I asked the man to show me how to wear one. He helped me wrap it about my hips several times before tucking the end in my belt and letting the extra material drape over the front. Looking at his, I noted that it was secured with a silver pin and said so. He told me they could also be pinned or tucked into the layers of material as well. He showed me how to secure it in the back with the extra material hanging there.		Producing a long piece of fabric, I asked the man to show me how to wear one.

	On the same visit I learned about the szi'euk, I also had the pleasure of learning about another common garment. Several ladies had come to barter for some jewelry that caught their eyes. I admit, I must have been staring at them a bit longer than they liked, because they commented on my gaze. I am sure they could see me blush as I stuttered over my apologies. Trying to cover up my embarrassment, I asked about their bodices as I had noted they were wrapped about their bodies and looked similar to their szi'euk.

	While clothing can be adorned in many ways, it is not done for vanity; it is done to indicate something significant about the wearer. Prowess in battle and at the hunt as well as ranking in society are all common reasons for adornment.
