This is my entry for /r/GuildWarsDyeJob's Legendary Look Fashion Contest (https://www.reddit.com/r/GuildWarsDyeJob/comments/40pjre/). So if you enjoyed this look it´d be great if you could quickly head over to his reddit entry and give him an upvote ^^ (https://www.reddit.com/r/GuildWarsDyeJob/comments/42rf8u) "Since he grew up as an orphan in the streets of Divinity´s Reach, Florent always had one dream, something that kept his spirits up during hard winters and long nights: becoming a bard. Despite being incredibly poor he also had something else keeping him from starting his career. Florent just couldn´t sing or play an instrument. His heart and soul were in his music, but his audience couldn´t bear his terrible attempts at singing for more than a few minutes. You might say he wasn´t off to a good start. But one day his fate was going to change. Inspired by the tales and songs he kept so dearly in his heart, he decided to start an adventure, a noble quest that would bring him glory and some good ideas for his songs. Needless to say Florent was as much of an adventurer as he was a musician. His heart and soul were in the project, but he was just simply not good at it. The poor guy got robbed a few days after he started his journey, got chased by a bear and nearly drowned, when he had to fight off a female drake. Somehow he managed to get to the Almuten Mansion. Dead tired and with only a few copper left he set camp outside a mansion, next to a little group of circus people and travelling journeymen, one of whom sold magical instruments (so he claimed). In the very back of the crammed little tent Florent found a harp, so curiously looking that he couldn´t take his eyes off of it. Even though he didn´t have enough gold to purchase the harp, the vendor felt so sorry for Florent and his awful voice that he let him keep the instrument. And what a magical harp indeed! "The Minstrel" as Florent soon called his new possession, wasn´t such a hoax after all. Indeed, everyone suddenly seemed to love his singing and music-making! Full of hope he returned to Divinity´s Reach, hoping with his new powers he could even get an audience with Queen Jenna." I wanted to creat a fun little look around the Minstrel, since it was one of my first legendaries and I rarely see this legendary in game. I tried to go with some kind of bard/jester theme to perfectly match the focus. I tried to tell his story in the screens as well as much as I was able to. I hope you enjoy him as much as I do ^^
