Troll Kiroll

...and as they fled land to sea they tore the sleeves from their Kiran, vowing never to hide their mushrooms from the sky.
— A long lost scholar
While the fall from majestic tillers of the land to pirates and bucaneers and forest hermits is one tale of the Trolls of Levis, what joined this tale was the changing of the practical Kiran to the ceremonial Kiroll.   The Kiran was a single piece robe ted by a waist sash, with a high neck and long billowing sleeves that had loops that would tie to a brittle harness looped around the muscles above the forelegs of the horned-bison for steering. But this was impractical for the very wet and very dexterous work of the open waters.   While still being that high necked robe tied at the waist by a thick sash, the shoulders are exposed on the Kiroll as well as the arms. The sleeve is massive, lasting down to the bottom of the ribs as a hole. And it is usually made of a thick, dense material. Length is optional, though many captains opt to partner it with loose and light pants, sailors and fisherfolk often go for the knee length option.   Kiroll are painted with the mark of the vessel they journey on, with those that travel multiple vessels developing a tapestry of markings to map their history. The colours of the sash hark back to their old nomadic houses, though the exact colour patterns have long been either secreted away or lost to time.
