Question concerning armor design- New Player

Submitted by Lee P. on Thu, 2/5/2015 at 1:56am

I'm designing a flesh-forged arm for my first character that has past honors and heraldry etched in and I was wondering if the city of Kraylorn in Lower Metsar had a set symbol?

While the city itself does not (from what I can tell), it is ruled over by the Bale Wardens.  Since they have a lot to do with Istensia, I would imagine using her symbol (yellow sun surrounded by orange flames) would be fair.  Praise the sun.

When it comes to lore, what you see is largely all there is. There is no established heraldry for the moment. I'd go with Chris' suggestion.

As far as flesh-forging, I applaud the costuming, but bear in mind that there is no system for bodily augmentation yet. Thus, whatever you make is purely cosmetic. For it to count as armor, it has to function like armor worn by any other character, meaning it must be removable and transferable. This could change in the future, but for now, I can't approve of items that are theft-proof by design. ;)

I had a feeling there was no system for body augmentations. Rest assured this arm is purely for aesthetic purposes only and simply contributes to my character's backstory. Perhaps this could open an opportunity for a augmentation system??

Something like that's been in my notes for awhile. No promises, though. ;)
