kihilts

Kihilts are a type of traditional garment originating from the fictional world of Eldoria, as described in the "Chronicles of Eldoria" series of novels. These garments are characterized by their layered construction and often feature intricate embroidery. Historically, kihilts were worn by the nomadic tribes of the Eldorian plains, serving as both protection from the elements and a symbol of tribal affiliation. The number of layers and the specific patterns of embroidery typically denoted a wearer's status within their community.

The fabric used for kihilts varies depending on the region and availability of resources. In warmer climates, lighter, breathable materials are common, while in colder regions, thicker wools and furs are incorporated. The construction often involves a tunic-like base layer, with additional sashes, wraps, and decorative panels added over it. These outer layers can be adjusted for warmth and mobility. The colors used in kihilts are often symbolic, with certain hues representing peace, war, or spiritual significance. While their practical function remains, modern interpretations of kihilts also exist as fashion items, blending traditional aesthetics with contemporary design.
