A soundless sylvari; grown not from the pale-mother but from a lone tree in the Dominion of Winds. Having woken with dreams of adventure she sets out to explore the strange world of Tyria. The only condition for leaving the Tengu realm is that she may never return. That or she’s the pact commander, I don’t actually spend much time thinking about my character’s backstory I confess… I’ve slowly been working on this look for some time now and I think I've finally tweaked it to something vaguely approaching finished. I figure if I don’t post it now I never will. I initially wanted something non-cultural for my main and I based this around the heritage jerkin (which I love despite the butt-cape) and Chuka and Champawat (though now I prefer Ydalir for the look). With the gold on the jerkin's necklace and gems on Chuka and the triumphant shin-plates I like to think I've made something of a luxurious adventurer, roaming Tyria for treasure and glory. Issues: This might be even better on a human or norn so I could go the full exotic princess look, but I prefer the sylvari faces. (That and I’m lazy and I’d prefer not to give up Take-root) Also I’m not entirely sure on Rodgort and the Gargolye axe. Whilst I like the way they both have the orange glow and I think they work well together maybe not so great with the rest of the outfit. I may be falling into the trap of using legendaries simply because I have them… I am considering swapping them to the Gold-Fractal torch and Lionguard axe. Credit: I was having difficulty choosing a staff for this build. A while ago there was a Norn look with Chuka and a tiger theme which used the Order of Whispers staff. To my shame I cannot remember who this was but i definitely nabbed the staff from them. Honestly, it was a fairly similar theme but seeing as how I'd already been working on finishing Chuka and had the majority of these skins chosen when it was posted the rest is co-incidence. Also... that image cap is killing me. How do I choose O.o
