What Are You Wearing?

His face is concealed by a narrow-eyed expressionless facemask.
He is in good shape.
He is holding a cracked leather tome embossed with a golden crown in his right hand.
He is wearing an ebonwood silver-veined locket, a silver rune-embroidered black silk half-cape, a silver-framed crest marked with a scarlet pentacle on a field of grey, some deeply hooded silk robes, a high-collared indigo and silver bourde tunic, a thrice-wrapped cord of plaited lizard skin, a silver-laced rich ebony sash, some elegant ebon silk trousers streaked with silver threads, and a pair of black leather sandals.

Definitely getting better on your outfit! Looks very Faendryl, even without the crest.

Went for a very traditional look today.

You see Nilandia Liserna the Historian.
She appears to be a Sylvankind.
She is tall and appears to be youthful. She has softly sparkling, gold-flecked forest green eyes and smooth, creamy white skin. She has very long, golden-highlighted sunset red hair divided into two pairs of two tresses each, wrapped elaborately together with silk ribbons. She has a gentle and delicate face, a slender nose and slightly upswept ears that taper into fine points. She has slender hands with long, soft fingers and gently curving rose-red lips.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing a delicately carved modwir talisman, a transparent silk gauze overrobe, a forest green silk bliaut accented with silvery arctic fox fur, a soft doeskin bracelet adorned with delicate ivory beads, and some leaf-hued raw silk slippers.

Talisman: An unfurling scroll is skillfully carved into the surface of a small disk of fine-grained modwir and painted gold, its form curling around the edge of the disk to form a border. At the center, five rings link together, each painted a different color: red, green, blue, black and white. On the reverse, a hawk is captured in flight, its beak turned to the heavens in a silent scream. Engraved into the rim of the disk in flowing script are the words, "Only with wisdom to sing to the stars."

Overrobe: Delicately shimmering silk strands have been woven loosely into the fine, nearly transparent gauze which comprises this light and airy garment. The fluidity of the fabric allows the robe to mold the wearer's silhouette, and when the material is in motion, it creates an illusion akin to the appearance of softly falling rain.

Slippers: Mimicking the hue of windblown leaves on water, the fine silk of these slippers is faintly iridescent in nature. A silvery sheen blends with the leaf-green hue to give it a soft quality, further enhanced by the thin argent threads used to create a gently swirling pattern across the fabric.

I'm not sure I've ever posted the bardess, but here she is in all her colourful and exuberant glory.

You see Cappyn Varra the Bard Laureate.
She appears to be an Illistim Elf.
She is tall and appears to be very young. She has captivating, thick-lashed pearly grey eyes and slightly blushing, silky soft skin. She has hip-length, tousled chestnut hair loosely tied back at the neck with a golden ribbon. Three thin braids threaded with amber beads rest freely on her shoulder, while her overly long and unruly bangs fall precariously close to her eyes. She has soft, wine-hued lips with a natural, delicate curve.
She has an amber sunflower tattoo on her ankle, and a thin gold bar in her right eyebrow.
She is in good shape.
She is holding a polished golden oak lute inlaid with deep golden topaz stones in her left hand.
She is wearing a brilliant yellow sunflower tucked behind one ear, a gold-etched instrument case, a multicolored patchwork silk coat lined with scarlet silk, a low-cut scarlet leather half-bodice laced with ivory beaded ribbons, an elegant gold thumb ring, an amber and gold charm bracelet, a gold-corded silken coin purse, a pair of trim ivory leather pants, and some heeled scarlet half-boots.

>l tattoo
Varying shades of amber color the center of the sunflower. The amber hues lighten from center to pale white at the edge of the petals, which curve around the ankle. An ivy green stem sprouts from the bottom of the sunflower and wraps around the ankle creating a band. A pollen-coated honey bee rests on one of the petals.

You see Hadya Kha'Taymullah.
She appears to be a Human of the Tehir tribes.
She is short. She has topaz-flecked dark viridian eyes and copper skin. She has very long, sable hair that falls in a lustrous curtain of thin braids to her thighs. She has a narrow waist. She has a jagged, scale-indented scar across her neck.
Her face is concealed by a veil of gauzy black silk.
She has a tattoo of malachite ophidian tracery encircling her left eye, a series of tiny metal spikes in the ridges of both her ears, and an intricate tattooed malachite pattern that covers the back of her hands.
She is in good shape.
She is holding a round copper mirror framed with black lacquered poppies in her right hand.
She is wearing a smoky velvet burnoose draped in thick pleats, a light grey wool tunic with a wide side-slit hem, a slender copper scaled corselet, a copper-swept bone bangle, a bronze-framed polished birch kit, some layered loose cotton skirts, some black and grey linen leg-wraps, and a pair of black leather sandals.

So, bodysuit dispute aside, I went ahead and dressed the dhe'nar anyway:

You see XXX.
She appears to be a Dhe'nar Dark Elf.
She is tall and appears to be in the bloom of youth. She has tilted dark lavender eyes and ebon skin. She has hip-length, lustrous pewter-toned hair tightly braided with clusters of tiny obsidian beads that weigh heavily against her back. She has an angular face, a small nose and sharply-curved pointed ears.
She has a silver-chased deep ebony bar in the upper ridge of her right ear.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing a silver-bound ebony leather harness, a loose ebony pelisson with flowing sleeves, a silver-caged luna moth pendant, some close-cut silvered ebon leathers, a striated wide silver wrist cuff, an entwined obsidian band, and a pair of ebony thigh-high boots with malachite-veined heels.

>l pendant (FWI transport item)
Strung on a delicate silver chain, and enclosed within a spherical cage of cleverly contorted filigree, is a fragile luna moth wrought from the finest faenor. Natural veins of darker green and grey sweep across the verdant wings of this beautifully crafted insect, the metal beaten so thin as to be almost translucent. The slightest movement causes the moth to tumble within its silvery cell as if fluttering in protest of its incarceration; the metals chiming softly against each other to raise the alarm.

>l leathers (designed by Martaigne)
Supple ebon leather, burnished unevenly with lustrous metallic dye, presents the illusion of tarnished silver as the base material for this suit of armor, tailored to fit like a second skin. A high collar, clasped with a carved malachite luna moth dangling from a silver chain, closely guards the neck like an attentive lover. Adjustable cross-lacing runs through silver eyelets down to the small of the back with no other buckles or lacing visible to the eye, relying on clean lines for aesthetics. You also notice a small enchanter's glyph.

>l cuff (a token gesture towards Mularos)
At first glance the wide band of silver seems to be an innocuous piece of jewelry. Veins of malachite and jet-black obsidian have been inlaid into the smooth surface, adding artistic streaks of intrinsic darkness which hint at the more underlying sinister aspects of the cuff. Lining the interior are rows of tiny vicious inward barbs, each configured so as to leave the impression on the skin of having worn a thorny vine.
The cuff bears a small circular slot which looks like it would fit a gold ring.

New look for today! Nilandia's becoming more and more influenced by traditional Sylvan fashion lately, but it's been a lot of fun.

You see Nilandia Liserna the Historian.
She appears to be a Sylvankind.
She is tall and appears to be youthful. She has softly sparkling, gold-flecked forest green eyes and smooth, creamy white skin. She has long, golden-highlighted, sunset red hair that has a slender braid at the temple adorned with an amber-banded copper hawk feather faintly sheened with gold. She has a gentle and delicate face, a slender nose and slightly upswept ears that taper into fine points. She has slender hands with long, soft fingers and gently curving rose-red lips.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing a gold-veined crystal modwir leaf, a flowing amber marbrinus cloak traced with bronze veins, a low-cut copper satin bliaut with long bell-shaped sleeves, and a pair of bronze silk slippers with sharply pointed toes.

Leaf: Rendered in precise detail, a fine crystal pendant cast as a modwir leaf falls from a hair-thin strand of silk, nearly invisible to the eye. The flawless crystal encases a webwork of warm gold veins, the leaf's skeleton closely resembling intricate filigree gleaming from within pure ice.

You see Meureii the Squire.
He appears to be a Half-Krolvin of the Rafi'kaes Klinast.
He is average height and appears to be very young. He has haggard stormy green eyes and sallow skin. He has raggedly cut, silvery-hued hair that is tied back with a simple black cloth, creating a solitary bundle of hair that falls down to mid back. He has a bony face, a long nose and a long scar across his left eyebrow. He has bluish grey undertones shadowing his angular countenance.
He has a regal gryphon with graceful outstretched wings and sharp looking claws tattooed on his neck.
He is in good shape.
He is wearing a pure argent armet padded with dark murray dyed miniver, a silver gryphon talisman, a tufted miniver-trimmed siglatoun mantle backed with argent sendal, an argent baudkins doublet hached with metallic threads, a gold-trimmed xenium scabbard, a sanguine siglatoun kilt with a dark murray corse of silk girdle, and some sable chamois leather botews front-laced and tipped with pure silver agelettes.

Talisman show: The image of a gryphon takes up the whole of the piece. The wings of the mighty bird are outstretched wide and the head is cast upward in a gallant pose. Caught in the talons of the avian creature are a series of rubies and a small, silver sword.
