Cernunna - She Who Carries The Forest

Ancient legends of the Norn talk about a horned god. Deep in the forests, where the leaves rustle the loudest, she can be seen walking among the wild creatures of the forest. Even though she doesn´t look like one of them, in their hearts they know that the essence of what she is isn´t far from them at all. Her wrath slashes down upon those who mistreat nature ad even though she is calm most of the time, in her enraged emotions she can destroy entire villages. She carries the forest on her back - the very essence of her domain lies in the miniature version she carries around with her at all times. Disturb the ponds and waves will rise, pluck a leaf and entire trees might lose every piece of green they have on them. Cernunna is rarely seen in manmade cities, behind walls of stone, but if she blesses the people with her appearance, they better fall to their knees. Hey guys, I wanted to share my Norn Guard with you! I wanted to create a more lore-true Norn (at least optical) and this is my attempt at it! My goal was a shamanlike look, but instead of taking the obvious route and go Light armour, I decided to try around with heavy armour instead! The helmet was the centrepiece of my look, because I just adore the majestic nature of this piece and so I build the rest around it. The shoulders felt like the best option to make it look less heavy; same reason why I tried to keep her a bit more "naked" and not heavily plated. I got a great Celtic vibe from both gloves and legs and I didn´t want to rely too heavily on cultural pieces as this would have felt a bit done to me. The boots were kind of a stretch, but I felt that they looked like bones and I especially love that they show the skin at the back. I didn´t want to incorporate too much fur into the look as this is more of a shaman/god than it is a classic Norn look (where fur would have been mandatory). Cernunnos btw is an actual Celtic god and was a major inspiration for this look! The backpiece was actually the major holdback and why this look didn´t go online earlier. I really wanted it with my look, because it was so fitting, but it took a while to craft. I think it was worth the wait though ^^ Weapons are mostly nature and/or Norn related! I hope you enjoy my goddess!
