Changes: Clothume

Revision as of 01:10, 23 February 2011

A clothume (sometimes spelled clothurne) (Plasper: "blood-colored robe/costume") is the hooded ceremonial robe that is customarily worn by Gropagas. It is dyed red and will most likely have a Weedaula on it as seen here. Though several variants exist, such as the decorated appope that is worn by high-ranking gropagas, all clothumes are similar in that they feature a weedaula.

Etymology

The word is said to have been derived from "Clothes" and "Costume."

Clothume vs. Clothurne: Which is correct?

Gropagas far and wide don this vestment with which they approach Inglip's shrines in search of prophecy and direction. However, it appears some of His followers are unsure of the spelling and/or usage of the term. It is canonically referred to as a clothume, not a clothurne, though this is an easy mistake to make given that "r" and "n" next to each other sometimes present a somewhat tricky optical illusion. In the REcaptcha pictured, in which Inglip has decreed it so, it is to be called a clothume. It shall not be appropriate, however, to lambast those who would spell it alternatively, as it is strictly preference; so long as the disciple dons the garment, it does not matter what he or she calls it.

Function

The clothume serves to bestow slightly protective coverage from physical and magical assaults, as well as shield its wearer from Inglip's swift, harsh judgment. If one is not wearing a clothume when approaching one of Inglip's many shrines, the unclothed disciple or wanderer will most likely not receive any decipherable answer.

Variations

The Appope robe

Prominent and upper class gropagas such as generals, lords, chosen ones and prophets wear elaborately embroidered and gilded clothumes called appopes. These robes are often made of expensive silks, and are decorated with depictions of "quaint" or "quanit branches" in accordance with Gropagan customs.

Battle Armor

In battle, the Gropagas wear battle armor underneath their robes for extra protection. Often they will dye exposed armor in red and wear protective face masks that hide their faces. High ranking military personnel and war heroes wear a Appope variant with the same decorative theme as their robes. It is said this divine armor is meant to be worn on completing the Dark Lord's bidding.

Casual Wear

The Gropagas also wear casual clothing during their daily lives. These clothing usually have the same color scheme as their robes and also bear a Weedaula on it to signify their allegiance to the dark lord. This may come in any part of their clothing such as t-shirts, hoodies, hats, and other types of clothing.

Other Robes

A gropaga may also wear differently colored clothumes based on his respective occupation. Dungeon guards, spies, and executioners, for example, don gray clothumes so as to not attract too much attention to themselves. Poor and lower class gropagas, such as slaves and gravediggers, wear tan clothumes because they historically were unable to afford dyes.
