Miss Penelia Caisandoral has penned a document on the Vaalorian wool "vylith" after much time spent digging through Lord Clessar's hoarded fashion archives and a much more organized trip to visit High Yeoman Selaelis.

Vylith

Notes: This is an open-use material.

Thank you to Thandiwe, Xynwen, Tivvy, Gyres and Elysani -- they know what they did. Much appreciation to GM Isten for lightning-fast QC.

Author: GM Thandiwe
Date: 11/22/2024

Mourning Garments are being introduced at the Festival of the Fallen. These garments are the result of a team-up between Koanashi and Thandiwe. They come in both a skirted and non-skirted variety, making them rather versatile. Skirted opens include robes, dresses, gowns, houpppelandes, etc, while non-skirted include surcotes, jackets, doublets, tunics, etc.

There are three tiers and certificates are sold off the shelf. Additionally, they will be available with the Premium Unlocker.

The unique thing about the Mourning Garments is that they interact with items in the room. If there are no items in the room, then there is a default interaction. The items that they interact with are: altar, coffin, grave, sarcophagus, tomb, tombstone, or urn

Here is an example of the Altar Interaction:

You bow your head with reverence before a simple stone altar, honoring the many ancestors that have trod the same steps and offered the same reverence as you do now.

Here is an example of the no-item Interaction:

With a gentle breath, you lay one hand upon your brocade doublet and bow gracefully, a gesture of reverence reflected in your serene expression.

There are interactions that pull a kerchief out of your sleeve, this item can be completely customized but is only used in messaging.

Kaonashi and I will be working to flesh out the wiki page more as the weekend goes on. We will both also have merchants available for alterations.
