River Mithonnen

xxx

Hithlain

In the shallows of the river's expanses grow reeds whose outer hulls protect bundles of rich, silk-like fibers of a pale silvery-grey hue. The Delann call these fibers hithlain, or "mist-thread" and consider them a gift of Mithonnen to them. These fibers are extraordinarily strong, and when woven using the arts of the elven craftsfolk among them, result in cloth and rope that are both extraordinarily strong and very light and thin.

This cloth and rope both have a pale, silvery-grey color which practically becomes indistinguishable from the banks of fog and mist that regularly roil off of the river Mithonnen, allowing entire groups of the Delann to simply fade from view by entering the mists. The padahithir ("mist-walkers") of the Wardens all wear great cloaks crafted of this cloth.
