Underwear in the Land

Post by Worm of Despite »

The General Discussion forum got me thinking: did people wear underwear in the Land? I don't know if it was ever specified. I know it must've been drafty with those robes and all the Lords wore! Then again, I think Revelstone had some kind of magic heating system--or the rock walls retained heat or something. Maybe no use for undies there.

Well, when High Lord Elena slipped off her robe for her swim in Glimmermere, I don't remember reading "... then the Ur-Lord struggled with the clasp of her bra. 'Hellfire and damnation!! It sucks missing fingers', he thought as he struggled to free ...." :twisted:

I'd guess that if it was cold they might wear a loin cloth or something.

I wonder though if the First was into the real skimpy stuff; and maybe a Push-Up bras...

Hmmmm
I wonder....

They had underwear. It is specifically mentioned in LFB when TC gets to Revelstone. He defiantly changes back to his own underwear that first night for sleeping purposes. :)

I don't know - I think the Haruchai would either be the speedo type, or they'd go commando. But with all their movement, they might end up hurting themselves (or others). :-)

The women must have worn something up top. Everyone in the Land lives a pretty active life, and it would hurt like hell to have no support whatsoever.

It'd take you a long time to blow up or shoot all the sheep in this country, but one diseased banana...could kill 'em all.

Speaking of clothing, Thomas didn't change hus clothes for a long time in the Land, nor did Linden... and they had nothing to wash them with, Wow, gross.

We have been analysing these books for too long. But well was the bra invented. Were tampons available. We don't want saggy titted women inhabiting the land. Or problems with that time of the month.

Sometimes fantasy is just fantasy and the real world trivialties of life are maybe necessarily overlooked.

But hey why not speculate.

So what size is a Giant's thong?

Does a croyel wear nappies?

Given the wide range of athletic kicks and jumps that the Haruchai make, it makes me feel better to assume they all wear some sort of wool jock, and that an Unfettered One (heh) has discovered a Lore-wise way to de-itch it somehow.

No matter how trivial this discussion seems, it is preferable to the stack of work on my desk. :)
