Tomb King

Risen from the ancient tombs underneath the Crystal Desert, this king comes to claim his homeland. Makes use of the new armor skins released with the Path of Fire expansion. Looks great on a medium built Norn, but should also work decently on a Human or Sylvari. Perfect for roaming around in the new Path of Fire maps. Wanted to keep it relatively simple, no big shoulders, no big plate armor. Got my inspiration from the Tomb Kings from Warhammer lore. As for colors I chose mainly dimmed brown/gold colors, because if the armor would be rotting away in a tomb somewhere in the desert for thousands of years it would not come out all pristine and shiny. The dusty air of the tomb would have done its work by then. The Funerary Helmet and Spearmarshal's Breastplate give it that egyptian feeling. The Spearmarshal's Breastplate in particular works well becayse it looks like the body is wrapped in linen, combine that with the Dragonhunter's Gauntlets, which also gives the same feeling and you have yourself a decent mummy, as far as Guildwars 2 skins go. As the shoulders I have gone with the Barbaric Pauldrons, so it would cover the left shoulder, but keep the right shoulder as it is, as that shoulder is already sufficiently covered by the Spearmarshal's Breastplate itself. Other options here that also suit this look well are Splint Pauldrons, Draconic Pauldrons, Pit Fighter Shoulder Guard, and if you really like a big, pompous look, Spellbreaker's Redoubt. For the legs I have chosen Warbeast Tassets, because it had the best synergy, in my opinion, with the other pieces, but there are many other great options out there, so you can change it to your own preference. (Try Grasping Dead Legguards or Stag Chausses for example!). As for the boots, Funerary Greaves looks like something you would find inside a 3000 year old Egyptian tomb, but again this can be swapped with something more of your liking and you would still keep the Egyptian/Tomb King look. Looks great with the Mursaat Wings backpack or Banners of King Palawa Joko I. For weapons the Sovereign set looks especially great, as it has a similar color scheme and that Egyptian feeling.
