Pink star

All girls wanna feel girly sometimes, even if they usually spend their free time bashing orcs and other filthy creatures. This cute rune-keeper didn't want to risk getting her loveliest attire dirty in battle, so she saved it for a nice vacation at home in Rivendell. Noone can deny she can't be overlooked, even among the most fashionable of her kin.

It was often a surprise to see an elf walk through the lands of Men, but doubly so when the elf was dressed so-brightly. The Ranger watched the elf, for he could look nowhere else, walk with content steps through the hidden outpost of Esteldin, a hum escaping from his lips. The tunic the Eldar wore was stark white, as was the cloak and boots. Even the airy chain over the tunic reflected light brilliantly. In essence, the elf, walking with his hand resting on the pommel of his sword, reminded the Ranger of a giant lantern (not that he would ever say that to the elf's face, of course). The Ranger nodded his greeting to Leriff as the elf passed, mumbling to himself, "Yes, in the absence of the sun, he'll do."

Will you pre-order Isengard to get new outfits?

Rate:

{[["☆","★"]]}

The poll for past few weeks has ended and here come the results:

Vast majority of you guys got probably keen on the new pre-order cosmetics, which are very different from what we have seen so far and they just look great! I must confess that I am one of 26 "Yes" voters, as you may have noticed in many of the recently created outfits - they all contain some Isengard pieces :)

Please don't forget to vote in the new poll - How do you design your outfits? I'm looking forward to find you approach - someone starts with a style, someone else with a colour, other one with some particular piece which they build the outfit around. Let us know your way! :)

Little seems to be known of the lost Blue Wizards, who passed into the East of Middle Earth with Curunir but did not return. It is generally assumed that they were, like the other wizards, of man-stature. But maybe their purposes were different and so their appearance would also differ. Perhaps, when Manwe planned to send forth the Istari, he consulted with Aule. Perhaps, together, they conceived of purposes in the deep places as well as among the sunlight peoples of Middle Earth. If they did so, the blue wizards may have looked something like this.

Soon, Middle-Earth will need all its brave warriors to come to arms. In these difficult times, Accornia decided to offer her guardian skills for defence of the strongholds of highest importance.

For the upcoming fiercest battles she even decided to make an exception and wear boots, which is a sign of how much important it is to her.

Long awaited battle for Helm's Deep is yet to come. One of the Rohirrim captains, Amarilwen, is getting ready in advance. Between smashing some Uruk-hai and other diversions, she gathers her best men to prepare for holding the defences when the time comes. She has been given dragon scale armour and boots by her dwarven friends who had joined her, hoping they would make her famed invulnerability seen in front of enemies' faces. She will be an inspiration to all Helmingas, leading them to victory.
