I found these from C’oretta’s play through of ARR back in 2017. I wish they hadn’t removed this part of the quest chain post-Waking Sands disaster in the 2020 revamp. At least put it back in as a side quest maybe. It’s a quiet, short moment, but given all in Shadowbringers--and perhaps what we may get in Endwalker’s raid--little moments like this have a lot of meaning, even if they are a slow down point in the main scenario itself (and sometimes, honestly, that’s needed).

I love these dolls sooo much! Only Violet is missing because she still doesn’t have a body yet!

For Gwenaëlle, her armour is just as much for show as for defense. She’s a fairly small woman that most people would probably dismiss without a second thought, but on the battlefield, it’s a different story. She handcrafted her armour from the scales of dragons she defeated. It declares that she is the Dragonborn. it also serves a very useful purpose of hiding a myriad of weapons, that Cullen discovered to his dismay.

Some elves + Seren. I drew Merethiel back when we only had concept art to go off of, so she looks a bit different from in-game.

“Perhaps the most famous of these rings is the ring of Gyges, the shepherd King of Lydia, described by Plato and Herodotus. When the stone was turned inwards the wearer was rendered invisible. By its aid Gyges assassinated King Candaules and seized his wife and children. It is related that Otnit, King of Lombardy, wore a ring given him by his mother, which had power similar to the ring of Gyges, as well as the special virtue of preventing the wearer from losing his way. Nizami, the poet of Persia in the early 13th century, tells the story of a shepherd, a story similar to that of King Gyges. Another ring of invisibility is the ring of Eluned or Sunet in the old romance of Ywaine and Gawaine. “

Angof and Eluned!
