Khemra Clerical Robes
Most Keeper sects use the same basic yellow uni-sex robe set up for all their members that they wear for worship services and most light duties in-temple. The shoes can be swapped out for swapped out for something more covering and/or an underlayer can be added in if climate and topography conditions call for it.
Members have a necklace, belt, chest icon, and ring that signify their Order. Dawn Order is signified by orange, Day Order is signified by yellow, Zenith Order is signified by white, Dusk Order is signified by red, and Eclipse Order is signified by purple.
Since Jaromir has been a part of multiple Orders over his long career, I'll use him to demonstrate what the regalia looks like.
Participants
Robes are viewed as interchangeable or are the personal property of the individual while the acourtements of one's Order are technically property of Khemra. In some temples, when a Keeper changes order, they are expected to turn in their necklace string, ring, belt, and chest regalia. Others opt to let their members keep their old regalia as momentos.
Observance
For formal holidays, greeting dignitaries, they will generally wear fancier more complex, more ornate robes with higher rank members have richer and more complex threads. Also, formal clerical vestments vary more from temple to temple and individual to individual while the basic robes vary little around all of Scarterra.
If Keepers are in the field or performing tasks where their normal robes are impractical such as most physical labor, rough travel, or are combat, Keepers will bow to pragmatism and wear practical clothes for whatever their task or tasks entails.
There is an informal norm to wear Khemra symbols and something of their Order's color, but there no hard rules on this. Not every Keeper wants to loudly broadcast they are Keeper while out and about.
When geared for battle, Keepers can wear whatever they want. It is more important to wear the best protective gear that is available than it is to outwardly display their piety on the battlefield. Sometimes, it is advantageous to stand out as warrior as a Khemra and other times it is more advantageous to just look like another soldier.
