Really nice clothes there Nikolaos!
I hope they will be a great source of inspiration to this mod!

I'd love for my character to be rocking some of those vestments while saving the day!

Hmm... I wonder what my dude would look like, kicking ass whilst wearing priest robes

Resuming project in 5 days... any more ideas before i start again?

[cantornikolaos]

Please add my vestments.

How about - if you upset the Priest enough, you are excommunicated and that boosts your infamy AND makes you anathema in the eyes of the faction

Please add my vestments.

Someone else will have to make them because i have no experiance in creating outfits for the game. By the way, which ones do the main priest wear?

The priest wears a chasuble as an outer vestment over all the other vestments. There are a number of different styles, but I like Gothic or "Charles Borromeo" style the best. Under the chasuble is a stole, that signifies the office of the priesthood. There is also a maniple worn on the left arm. It looks like a stole, but is shorter for obvious reasons.

Here is a picture of me wearing them both.



Under the stole and maniple is a long, white garment called an alb. it is usually secured at the waist with a rope called a cincture. I think this is evident in the pic I just linked.

Here is my blog where there are illustrations of vestments I've made.


The deacon's outer vestment is called a dalmatic. It is an ornate outer tunic worn over the stole, maniple and alb. Traditionally, bishops wear a dalmatic under their chasuble. Some priests given a blessing to wear a dalmatic under the chasuble as an award for service as well.

I don't have a picture yet, but the bishop also wears something called a miter.

thanks for that, now i just need someone to help me put it into the game...

[cantornikolaos]

I hope someone does feel up to making these vestments in the game!

Here are pictures and sketches of Dalmatics laid out. IDK if this is essential information for the game. The dalmatic exists with a few notable style variations. However, they are all an ornate outer tunic. The exception to that "outer tunic" descriptor would be its use by a bishop, when it is worn under the chasuble.


This is a sketch of a dalmatic. The dalmatic does exist in various styles, but this would work.


Here is an embroidered dalmatic laid out flat.


Here is an elaborate and long dalmatic. I do think this is a pontifical dalmatic that would have been worn under a chasuble.


In the right half of this image is an illustration of a deacon vested in a dalmatic with stole and maniple.

[Stay tuned for Chasuble stuff and some interesting Byzantine Rite stuff.
