Sparkling secrecy

Rate:

{[["☆","★"]]}

A hobbit lady has recently stopped at Bird and Baby along with her husband. While he was spending his afternoon tea talking to the merry company of Jack Lewisdown, Owen Farfield and Carlo Williams, she was just relaxing near a fireplace, watching patrons and observing hobbits talking. "Who is this mysterious lady?" all the Shire has been whispering ever since. Will they find out?

Note: I used the brightest white dying items I know ingame for this outfit. I couldn't even take screenshots outside during the daylight - here is a screenshot of sparkling dress and hood on the sun :)

The next upcoming outfit on the blog will feature hobbit lady's husband, a decent elder hobbit in formal attire.

Chest: Elf-queen's Dress, white dye (store)
Head: Hood of Night, white dye (Halls of Night cosmetic)
Back: Cloak of the Shining Star, white dye (Anniversary item)

Guest: Ottor of Snowbourn

Ottor, a champion devoted to the Free People's cause, has recently discovered that he is distantly descended from the people of Númenor and so is entitled to wear the White Star. He received his armour as a gift from people of Evendim as a reward for his great deeds in the area. He appreciates it very much, because it protects him well but doesn't weight him down with huge plate pieces. He will march to many battles in this finely forged armour!

Chest: Chestplate of the Northern Star, navy dye (Wardens of Annuminas reputation)
Legs: The Climber's Legs, navy dye (Quest: Warning: Evil Giants)
Head: Helm of the Eglain Defender, navy dye (Quest: Elders in the Shadows)
Shoulders: Elven Cloth Shoulder Pads, default dye (outfitter vendor)
Hands: Leather Gloves, navy dye (outfitter vendor)
Feet: Boots of the North-drake, evendim blue dye (world drop)
Back: Linen Cloak, default dye (T2 crafted)

Khamrad is back in his manly role! :) Today he decided to show you his civil side - wealthy merchant of Bree. Long time ago, Khamrad thought it would be wise to have an assurance for retirement - he's not very welcome at home in Thorin's Hall and assuming his beer-drinking lifestyle, he won't be able to wield a broadsword until his last breath. In this depressing vision of being old, grumpy and abandoned dwarf, he decided to start a store in Bree near the Boar fountain. His weapon and armour selling stalls are famous all over the region, so now he is just a proud owner and exploiter of a few human vendors. When he wants to get away from the battles, he comes to Bree and checks on his subordinates. Keep that in mind if you decide to seek a job in the Bree town ;)

On his long way around the nothern lands, Throain has decided to stop at Zigilgund to greet his old friends and have a few pints of good beer. On the place he found out they are struggling with many menaces in Forochel and decided to help them. For the purpose, he had to change his attire to blend in and feel warm - despite he is used to cold climate, Forochel is a little bit too much. Now he fits in the environment, but also looks even more stylish than before :)

For a long time I've been thinking about creating a "real-life" resembling outfit. This thought dwellt in my mind since I first got Saeradan's Leggings. These trousers obtained from a level 10 quest look exactly like jeans, even the texture does. So I sent Amarilwen to have a few days off at home and surprised her with a camera on her doorstep ;)

Chest: Leather Shirt of Fate, red dye (world drop, also available crafted)
Legs: Saeradan's Leggings, default dye (Quest: Shadow of the White Hand)
Feet: Elven Cloth Shoes, default dye (Rivendell outfitter vendor)

Guest: Mydion of Windfola

Mydion comes from the Dale. When he was a young child, an Easterling party crossed over, killed his father and enslaved him, his mother, his two baby brothers, and his eight sisters. His family was sold to a wealthy noble household in the East where they worked as servants. His mother, being a seamstress, was called upon to buy materials and make clothes for the noble household, and the whole family worked making outfits. Growing up in an environment surrounded by women and clothing, Mydion gained great appreciation for good style, and developed a commendable fashion sense - so much so, that the jealous men out East would tease him for his "fruitiness". As Mydion entered puberty, the master nobleman decided to take teasing to the next level, and threatened to make Mydion a eunuch. The threat of going under the knife motivated Mydion to run away.  He caught various rides with traveling merchants and wound up in Archet. The rest is history.

Mydion wants to become a righteous champion and has decided to join the War of the Ring in order to become stronger and find his family out East and free them.  He hates Easterlings, and is fiercely protective of his "family jewels" to this day.

Is there anything better than a nice stroll around the shores of Evendim? Almost feels like vacation! Ladriell thinks it's the most beautiful place in all Middle-earth (at least out of what she has seen of it) and doesn't even care about the brigands trying to jump on her back sometimes. She just distracts them with her songs and walks away. What a lovely peaceful afternoon!
