History
Isu Era
Believed to have been first created in Ancient greece and Rome[1], Tunics have been shown to be worn by some Isu. In Aletheia's simulation of Atlantis, the misthios Kassandra encountered several isu wearing variations of Tunics. Such as Aita, Hermes and Ampheres.
In Eivor Varinsdottir's dreams of her past life as the Isu Odin, she was shown him meeting several people wearing tunics. But this was most likely affected by Eivor's own cultural aspects having an effect on her dreams.
Ancient Egypt
In Ancient Egypt long linen tunics were worn by wealthy men during the time, unlike poorer people who only wore loincloths.[2]
Viking age
A tunic was a common article of clothing during the viking age, worn by Saxon and viking alike. They varied in detail and style, the Scandinavians liked dyes more than the Anglo-Saxons; their clothing was brighter and more colorful.[3] Tunics were worn as everyday clothing and into battle, often over a set of chainmail by those wealthy enough to own it. For those not as wealthy such as thralls, their tunics were made from a low-class material and had no signs of sewn edges, giving them a shabby appearance.[4]
