W e serve the tribe according to our gifts. Some, like me, become hunters, warriors, bringing food and the gift of safety. Some are weavers, creating the fine cloth from which we make much of our clothing. We trade our cloth for the fine wool the Tal Mar bring to festival every spring. Others are potters, creating containers for food.
T here is no fast way to make clothing here.
There is a plant that lives in the foothills of Su'Sha'Lia, the great desert. The weavers beat the stalks of this plant between rocks to create a soft fiber that is then woven into a kind of cloth. The berry of this same plant is boiled in water to create the deep indigo dye, the color of most of our cloth. The robes we make from this cloth are sewn together with needles made from bone. T he leather garments are laced together.
