Fionnuala’s Fashions: I’ve got the Nen Harn Blues

My new Captain, Naushika, found herself hunting turtles around Nen Harn in Northern Bree-land. I think it’s sad that the game doesn’t put more effort into sending you to this area, because it’s definitely one of the most beautiful spots. I love the particular blend of grey rock, blue water and green grass found there.

Naushika wears heavy leathers to protect herself from those strong, snapping jaws. Why the mask, you ask? Well, they’re terribly comfortable. I think everyone will be wearing them in the future.

Finished with collecting turtle shells, Naushika takes the opportunity to cool her heels in the lake and do some cloud gazing.

I like to be thematic with the outfits I create for my characters and tend to gravitate towards certain color schemes for each depending on their personality. Naushika predominantly wears blue. When I created this outfit I got a kick out of taking some pieces that were so clearly utilitarian in nature and jazzing them up with a completely impractical shade of bright blue. I think the juxtaposition of the natural browns of the leather with the Evendim Blue dye is really striking, even if it’s not particularly smart for an adventurer in the wild.
