The Monks of Eastrun wear cast-off cloth that has been cleaned, dyed and sewn together to create both their inner robe -- that which is closest to the skin, and the outer robe -- that which is presented to the outside world. Cast-off cloth is made from clothing that is no longer in use because it is old or unfashionable. It also includes so-called corpse clothing which is discarded after a body has been washed and sewn into its burial shroud.
The color of a Monk's robes depends on their temple. Each temple keeps a unique formula of dyes which produces a variety of earth tone colors ranging from deep browns to bright reds.
