Eddings Items

[Xordaii]

I know this is a long shot, I don't know how many other people are fans of Eddings, but I had to ask just in case.

 

I would be nice to have the white robes Sephrenia wore in The Tamuli series, not the homespun ones her people wore outside their own city, but the ones she wore once she went home and was free to not act unthreatening to protect her people. The robes she wore as high priestess for her Goddess?

 

The other armor that would be nice to have is the Algar Horseman armor. It is described fairly well in the book Polgara the Sorceress at one point, I think when she is wedding one of the heirs to a man that sells horses (just before the shoe factory chapters). It may have a better description in the Belgariad series when we are first introduced to Hettar, when he is angry because his (future) bride gets shot by an arrow, and when he tries to ride the Hrulgin.

 

To go with the above, the Algar hair. The men shaved their heads except for a small tail on the top of their heads (makes me think of like the Hun or the Chinese looks? Hettar used a leather thong most times to hold it up, but formal times he used a silver band around it at the base of it on his head. I would like the silver ring look on a tail look.

 

The mask of the God Torak. It is basically a highly polished steel mask wearable by humans (helm slot?). Torak was very beautiful, but was punished by a living stone when he "broke" the world, splitting a continent. It didn't like his actions, or being used in such a way, so took his left eye and hand. Being gods, and having no need for healing, the gods have no such mechanism. Because of this, the wounds were eternal, and the pain drove (or finished driving) Torak mad. His missing eye was ever after filled with living blue fire, and wept flames instead of tears. His priests wore similar steel masks to "honor" him. Me, I wouldn't like my nose rubbed in such, but Torak was crazy. :biggrin: Toraks version was living steel, too. If it can be done, that would be cool, to have it change with facial expressions. If not, just the mask is cool too.

 

Hehe, and just for kicks, because I don't know anyone else who might actually WEAR mismatched armor, Belgarath's clothes. If you read the description in Belgarath the Sorcerer, you will find a good place to start. It is stated he has looked like a slob and beggar for years, but it is all a ruse to fool his enemies. The patches at knees and elbows are sewn on over good cloth, no holes, just for show. his rope belt is purposeful, not because he doesn't want a regular belt, but to look anonymous. The food and wine stains are dyed into the fabric on purpose also, and the frayed hems are actually woven into the fabric. The mismatched shoes were custom fitted to his feet, so may not match, but are sturdy. The point is, this outfit has lasted this man for several thousand years, and hasn't worn out yet. He looks the way he does to fool people, not because he is slovenly or unkempt.

 

Really, any of the clothes, hair styles, etc, used by Polgara, her sister, or CeNedra. The wedding dresses of CeNedra and Polgara's sister, the styles CeNedra wears at her wedding and to Mallorea, the dresses Polgara uses throughout her life, maybe even the hair style of Cyradis wears at the end of the Mallorean. The emperor complains that she wears flowers in her hair instead of adorning herself with gems, and the merchants are unhappy.

 

I am sorry most of these don't have pictures. They are only described in the story, so I can't link any source photos. Can you tell I am a huge fan of Eddings books? Anyway, no demands, just, if someone does make some of this, I am definitely interested.
