Editing Konganese History (section)

=== Clothing and Materials ===

The Konganese, living upon the ever-moving Tavaru, require clothing that is adaptable, durable, and suited to all forms of weather. Their garments are made exclusively from natural resources, honouring their belief that nothing should be taken from Tavaru that does not replenish itself.

'''Plant-Based Fibres''' – The Konganese weave their clothing from bamboo fibres, palm leaves, and sea grasses, creating lightweight yet sturdy fabrics that breathe in the heat and insulate in the cold. The fibres are often softened through natural oils and sea salt treatments, making them flexible, water-resistant, and comfortable for movement.

'''Sea Beast Leather''' – While the Konganese do not mine metals or stone, they do hunt the great sea beasts that roam the waters near Tavaru. The hides of these creatures, thick, waterproof, and resilient, are used for protective outerwear, armour, and boots. Sharkhide, ray skin, and thick whale leather are all common materials.

'''Coral and Shell Accents''' – Decorative and functional, dried coral, shells, and hardened driftwood are used in clothing embellishments, fastenings, and armour plating. Certain shells are believed to carry the blessings of Tavaru, and warriors often wear them as part of their attire.

'''Fishbone and Carved Wood Clasps''' – Rather than buttons or metal fastenings, the Konganese craft bone and wood toggles to secure their clothing. These are often carved with symbols of the waves, the wind, or their ancestors.
