Rohan Civilians

They tend wear a Viking/Celt dark ages type of clothing.

This is just a rough dump... more as we collect data and have time to study it.

Very dark colours- grays and browns, with leather braid and tartans. Wool, linen, and heavy cottons.  Te Rohan refugees had small traces of
Celtic knot work on their home-spun undertunics.

Notes about the decorations:

• I was struck by the details in costumes not normally mentioned.  For  instance, the fact that even the Rohan refugees had small traces of celtic knotwork on their cottony undertunics, and Grima Wormtongue's costume is incredibly beautiful sculpted velvets and brocades, worn and faded to appear as if they were finery that had been worn for a very long time till they were threadbare.  == Sidhe e
