Additionally, the face covering can be pulled down. The garment is worn by both men and women.{{book ref|edgedancer|2}}{{book ref|edgedancer|3}} |

| − | A shiqua is a long single sheet, wrapped around the entirety of the wearer's body from head to toe, winding around arms and legs individually, sometimes also being wrapped back around the waist as a skirt. The garment is worn by both men and women.{{book ref|sa2.5|2}}{{book ref|sa2.5|3}} The fabric used in a shiqua is usually a solid color such as yellow, black, or brown.{{book ref|sa2.5|13}}{{book ref|sa2.5|14}} To create the garment, the fabric must be draped and tied around the body in a distinctive way. Cloth wrapped around the body haphazardly will identify the wearer as a foreigner.{{book ref|sa2.5|6}} [[Arclo]] has learned to correctly wrap a shiqua, as it helps him conceal his true form.{{book ref|sa2.5|18}} [[Adolin]] noticed at least one [[spren]] in [[Celebrant]] wearing a shiqua with trousers, an unusual combination.{{book ref|sa3|102}} |

| − | The shiqua has a religious purpose: to cover up the wearer's body from an entity named Nun Raylisi ([[Rayse]]),{{wob ref|12755}} the enemy of the god [[Tashi]].{{book ref|sa2.5|3}} Tashikki people almost always wear the wraps, even in far-off lands such as [[Kharbranth]].{{book ref|sa1|3}} Within Tashikk, it is considered less necessary to fully cover the body, because it is believed that Tashi protects the residents there.{{book ref|sa2.5|3}} People therefore sometimes adjust the shiqua to expose their head and face within their homeland; they may also pull up the shiqua to allow more movement in their legs.{{book ref|sa2.5|11}}{{book ref|sa2.5|12}} Some Tashikki do wear other types of clothing; the Tashikki ambassador to [[Urithiru]] notably wore a flowery suit to the first meeting of the monarchs.{{book ref|sa3|96}} |
