this one might take a couple iterations? it's harder to make her clothing more interesting while keeping a semi-early medieval feel. i like how her braids echo her belt, though

veering a little more norman/11th century here but the basic construction of elaine's outfit is still fairly similar to early medieval clothes, and i needed her to look roughly in line with orphne's outfit. also i do love the embroidered pattern on the skirt of version 1 but that kind of interlacing is more associated with books than clothing, and it took away a little from orphne's patterned underdress being specifically ilian. i also decided a center part worked better for her hair.

re the last post i did actually specifically give mererid an oakeshott type xii sword, circa the 13th century. which obviously post-dates her normal era but like. arthurian chivalry stasis otherworld. there are a lot of different kinds of swords and not all of them post-date the medieval period, although obviously there was tremendous differentiation starting around the 15th century or so.

anyway i did specifically pick an early medieval inspired setting for twilight gest to contrast with the otherworld being in idealized chivalric stasis forever and to have the otherworld, at this point, technologically advanced compared to the mortal one, rather than the other way 'round.

i did almost make the setting 5-6th century inspired instead of 8-9th-ish, but i decided i wanted early castles.
