The sound of steel meeting and the smell of blood and sweat is what Isri grew up with. Always hiding between the men and acting just like one of them, this tough fighter always wanted to do what real knight´s do: jousting and fighting and honourable tournaments, receiving honour and glory and maybe the hand of a fair maiden. It´s not always easy to be recognized as a noble knight though if you are a woman. That´s why Isri mostly covers up with the help of her armour. A very devoted and skilled fighter, Isri´s expertise stems mostly from hard work and intense training. She would spend hours over hours in all the villages of Queen´s Dale to pick up all the little tricks and moves the seasoned soldiers there could teach her. Often she stayed awake until the fading light forced her to, determined to become a skilled fighter. Though she was offered a post in the royal guard, she refused to follow tournaments around the land and joust. Maybe when she broke a lance or two she is ready to take a position among the other noble soldiers - but for now she wants to break some hearts! Hey guys, Elessar here and ready to present a kinda simple look! While the Cavalier Weapons weren´t the most popular Black Lion set yet, I actually really enjoyed it, particularly the greatsword as it kinda looked like a lance to me. Revolving around this idea I created a classic knight look: I wanted her to look like the chivalry image of a jousting knight. I loved how the top and leg piece looked like something from the same set, so this was my starting point and for the rest I tried to balance functional/realistic with a hint of glamour, because hey, the fair maidens have to notice you somehow! Screenwise I tried to manipulate the poses in a way that makes the greatsword look more like a lance, so most of the poses you see with the greatsword are actually animations of other weapons. I know this look isn´t too much out of the box armour and dyewise, but I wanted to create something lore friendly and traditional for once as well! Hopefully this knight could win your heart ^^
