When Siri first meets Treledees she describes him as wearing a deep robe with massive peaked shoulders, making it look like armour, and a matching headdress.

=== The Iridescent Tones ===
When people die, they go across something called the Iridescent Wave, going into the afterlife. The Iridescent Tones are multiple entities. Each god represents an ideal.The Iridescent Tones teach that the [[Returned]] are people who have died, then seen some event or have knowledge about the afterlife, and then decided to come back, blessing the People and giving knowledge about the future. The Returned come back with a goal, although they forget it; leaping over the Iridescent Wave leaves the mind fragmented. The petitions are meant to help the gods remember why they came back. Not everyone can return, only those who died in a way that is courageous, honest, brave, etc. can return.{{
