This description was one of five which I wrote for Menal, all of which
fell prey to my hard drive crash in the summer of 1994. This description
was recovered from my hardcopy rough notes.
The Description
Menal is clad in his finest Gather attire. A sandstone-coloured shirt of
an incredibly soft, glossy sisal blend garbs his torso. The high
stiffened neck is accented in the front by a sharp-edged brooch with a
glittering clear emerald. The sleeves ripple out in billowing waves to
his wrists, where they are gathered in cuffs. Each cuff has been
delicately embroidered with a tiny firelizard - a green on the right, a
blue on the left. The shirt is tucked at his waist into a pair of buttery
smooth wherhide trousers of a dark cobalt blue. They are tightened with a
soft green belt with a sapphire-edged gold buckle.
