Style of Middle-earth

It has been quite sometime, two and a half months to be exact, since I last posted. There have been a lot of contributing factors as to why I haven't posted, but the main reasons why were 1. I mentally needed a break. 2. I haven't had much inspiration lately. I feel like I should only be posting outfits that are worthy of recognition, and if I kept cranking out weekly outfits, they wouldn't be the high quality that I expect from myself. In the month of December, I decided to do something I had never done before: purchase a quest pack. You might be curious why I never purchased one before, but it was mainly a money and commitment issue. With the purchase of the Quad Expansion pack, the amount of gorgeous cosmetic pieces I gain access to is immense. I am very happy with the pieces I have been able to add to my cosmetic library. As for the outfit, it was inspired by Frostbluff. Frostbluff is the home of my absolute favorite festival in-game, and I wanted to do ...

 Rohan is and always be one of my favorite regions in all of Middle-earth, with its open plains and gorgeous skies. The Sutcrofts is a region that really encompasses all of the things that I love about Rohan. The fields are so very green, with large bushes and trees, and a sky of the most gorgeous color.  I've always loved the hauberk that came with the Helm's Deep expansion purchase, with its white horse emblem, the dark green background, and the bits of chainmail. I wanted simple shoulders and gloves that would also give a very warrior-like look and feel, besides giving the main attention to the chest piece.  I wanted a statement cape, as that isn't something I use much, and with the man killing an orc on the back of it, it is indeed a statement piece. The boots were warlike and a strong finishing piece. A kinmate has recently been requesting that I made a few warsteed pairings, so I decided to put one that I made on beta with this outfit!

 The idea behind this outfit is a rich townsperson, someone who has money to spare, and time to give. In the words of my brother, "the outfit looks like it is for someone who is going to trade stocks".  For the female version of the outfit, I chose the dress, as when dyed white, it turned into a rich grey color, and didn't look too wintry. The shoulder guards added a very expensive feel to the outfit, and I finished off with a fancy and regal circlet.  I've considered doing a male/female outfit for sometime now, but it has taken me quite sometime to find pieces that complimented one another while staying true to the suggested gender. I finally decided that two Extravagant pieces from a Yule festival quest line would work perfectly, along with the Gwir-palvais shoulders. Woman Head: Winged Circlet (white dye) Shoulders: Gwir-palvais (grey dye) Chest: Frostbluff Dress of Thanks (white dye) Man Head: Extravagant Festival Hat (white dye) Shoulde...

 Sometime ago, I made and posted an outfit titled Ranger of Smoke & Flame , and I now decided to make a follow up outfit, for the ranger who protects the colder areas of the world. This outfit features a base of grey and white, with subtle browns as highlights, which is good for blending in with snow, frozen ground, and wintry trees. I began with the helmet. Acquired from a Dunland epic quest, this helm features a cloth base, with a metal plated face-piece. The hauberk features grey, white, and browns, with stitching, chainmail, and belts. The shoulder guards features browns, with a bit of grey, and a very unique pattern. I finished off the outfit with simple chainmail gloves and a pair of platesteel boots. Head: Leather Helm of the Leaping Stag - Dunland Epic quest Shoulders: Shining Scale Shoulder Guards (grey dye) World drop Chest: Lesser Dextrous Chestguard of Fate (grey dye) World drop Gloves: Scale Gloves of Fleetness - world drop Feet: De...

No matter what part of Middle-earth I adventure into, there continues to be one place that is my favorite location: Edoras. Edoras happens to be the capitol city of my favorite region of Middle-earth, and it is my opinion that LoTRO did justice to the beauty of the Mark. The robe in this outfit is my absolute favorite robe I've ever come across in-game. The design of it is flawless, and there is nothing I can say other than that it is a simply gorgeous robe. After the robe, I decided to use gold and silver as my colors. I thus chose a lovely silver circlet (though it is not fully a circlet..) and then went on to choose one of the best pair of shoulder guards in game (in my opinion.) I finished off with a incredible and detailed pair of gauntlets, and a pair of simple boots.

“Elvish singing is not a thing to miss, in June under the stars, not if you care for such things.”   The base inspiration behind this outfit is the golds, greens, and white-greys of Lorien. The golden leaves of the trees inspire the gold laced throughout the outfit. The green grass draws out the hints of green in the boots and cape, and the white-grey tree stumps inspire the general color of the outfit.  I have seemingly become lazy about my outfit - I have started skipping weeks to post, and I have not taken the time to take screenshots. But I am hoping I can put that behind me, and give everyone some new inspiration and such. For quite some time, I have loved the Elvin styled outfits - those with tops that flow into leggings, with go into softly curved boots, which go into soft shoulder-guards. The cape is an elvish touch indeed, but in the past few days that I have been obsessively wearing this outfit, I have actually omitted the cape because I adore Makai...
