The Tiniest Rohirrim.

I made this outfit when my little hunter first entered Rohan - she certainly needed a new outfit to wear in this grand new place that she'd yet to venture in to. She's ready to ride and be as fearsome as the next!

She roams from the Eaves of Fangorn to the fields of the Wold in:

Ceremonial Doom-Hunter's Helm - Dyed Olive

Dunland Caretakers's Patched Mantle - Dyed Olive

Strong Dunlending Combat Armour - Dyed Umber

Traveller's Road-worn Bracers - Dyed Umber

Vibrant Brushed Skirmish Boots - Dyed Olive

"Quiet as shadow"

Same Dress, Two completely different looks.

I didn't bother to pick this dress up last time the festival rolled around, but when I saw it a week or two ago in the Auction House, I snatched it up. I made two outfits with it. One for the little hobbit hunter, and one for Andadrien.

When I looked at my hobbit, it just screams "Little Red Riding Hunter". With the hood and the crimson, it's kind of inescapable. While visiting a friend's home in the Shire Homesteads, she went jumping through a mushroom circle; however, don't be fooled by the sweet, little antics - she's a deadly little thing with her bow.

She is wearing:

Gifted Ancient Helm of the Horse-Lords - Dyed Red

(Yes, I realize this is a gold HL item, and that many people may not have access to it. I had it equipped, so it was readily accessible for me. There are so many other hood-like head pieces in the game that could be easily substituted in for this item.)

Harvest-brew Dress - Dyed Crimson

Plain Cloak - Dyed Crimson

~~

Andadrien has a little bit more expensive taste. She likes to throw gold in the air and inspect her gems to make sure that they remain flawless. This took me approximately 3 minutes from when I got the dress to create it - it's super easy: headpiece, cloak, and *bam* it's done. Not going to lie, I totally thought about the Lannisters from Game of Thrones when I saw this outfit finished it as it is all crimson and gold. If you like to read, they are good books. I'm on the 5th book.

Andadrien is wearing:

Ceremonial Hat of the Written Word - Dyed Red

Harvest-brew Dress - Dyed Crimson

Golden Tree Summer Cloak - Dyed Red

Anniversary Festival

I suppose since the Anniversary Festival is occurring, I should give note to some of the cosmetics available. While I am not a huge fan of the Silken Dress/Robe of Golden Splendour that you can barter for, I do love the Reveller's Gilded Party Dress. I like how it has a more satin-y look to it unlike any other item in the game. It pairs perfectly with the war steed cosmetic: Reveller's Gilded Appearance. The war steed cosmetic drops in one of the festival's dailies. I just love it. Pair it with a fur stole - you're good to go!

Another item I found cute was the Spark-Maker's Pack which I thought was perfect for my little hobbit. She couldn't resist watching a fireworks' show now that she was all dressed up for the festival!

The first outfit on Andadrien is:

Reveller's Gilded Party Dress

Ceremonial Hat of the Written Word (Dyed Red)

Supple Great River Pauldrons of Vitality (Dyed Crimson)

The second outfit on Dinel is:

Vibrant Eastemnet Campaign Circlet (Dyed Red)

Hill-Man's Cracked Leather Jacket (Dyed Crimson)

Spark-Maker's Pack

Tursur-Lhopan (Dyed Umber)

Happy 6th Anniversary to everyone! 

Little Furry Bear

Okay, I'll admit it. Hobbits can be cute... They aren't always little spawns of Sauron.

I may have let out a "Squee!" when I saw this little furry head piece.

It's just too cute.
