The Lossoth of Forochel are a solitary people and not too friendly to outsiders, not even to the traders who come to their outposts sometimes. Still, one may gain their approval by showing the will and courage to aid them. Those that manage to gain the friendship of the Lossoth are welcome to their capital Sûri-Kylä and may be gifted with warm clothing from Lossoth craftsmen.
This Hobbit Minstrel has wandered the Lands of Forochel for some time, lending a helping hand to all who needed it, always happy to raise the spirits with a quick tune.
Occasionally she returns to Sûri-Kylä and offers some songs from the Shire far away to the Lossoth. They gather in the great lodge to hear her sing of green meadows and apple trees in the sun and have rewarded her for her songs with a warm robe made from fur of one of the great aurochs that roam Forochel and a cozy cloak of bear fur so she doesn`t get cold when she wanders outside at night to watch the colourful lights of the aurora paint the nocturnal sky.
I love the furry design of the crafted Lossoth armour and cloaks. They look as if it really isn`t possible to get cold in them. As my Minstrel alt on Landroval is questing in Forochel at the moment I took the opportunity to wrap her in fur :D

My Ministrel has been busy questing in Rohan for some time. I like the wide open plains where one can enjoy the full speed of the warhorse (although the light pony my hobbit uses looks more like a war-foal compared to the greater horses :D)
But in my opinion the most beautiful place in the new expansion is Fangorn. It has quite a magical feeling, with the great trees and the shafts of sunlight that come through the leaves on some points. I could wander for hours just enjoying the calm and beauty in there *dreams* The quest chain also matches that feeling well, waking ents and planting recovered acorns :)
While questing in there I felt the need to redress my mini to match the deep green colours and the light of the sunbeams. I left her signature hat because it adds some sort of hobbitish flair to the outfit (my kin calls it the flowerpot ^^)

And one picture of night and mists, because it shows the darker side of fangorn
I took a look on the new region yesterday and was positively surprised. The first Area, Thinglad, looks like a darker, more autumnal version of Lorien. I`m currently working on a fitting outfit for my lore-master who ventures into this land. I also continued on the epic questline, met this beautiful dream area and couldn`t resist to take some screens
The last pic shows this outfit in daylight, but i will make a second post to show it in its full beauty because it is her mostly worn outfit ^^

This little Hobbit lass has returned to the shire from her travels to help with the preparations for spring festival. She laid her armour off for a while and dressed herself in an elegant dress she got from foreign lands and a hat to shield her eyes from the spring sun.
As spring is nearing (or should be) i wanted to give my Ministrel something bright to wear . I have kept this hat in my vault for some time because i couldn`t find a matching dress or robe but it goes very nice with the festival dress i got recently and gives a look perfect for spring festival in the shire
Head: Hat of the Forests; yellow dye (Lvl 49 World Drop, shares appearance with gleaming flat cap and Woodruffs hat)
