Nomad of the Arid Sands

He is said to be one with the desert. For as long as anyone can remember, he has watched over these barren lands of Tyria. Fleeting as a speck of sand in the wind, he never stays in one place; he is a drifter at heart. When night falls, he may wander into a camp and sit down quietly, asking for neither food nor shelter. The next day, he often disappears as wordlessly as he came.

Though blind in both eyes, he relies on the voices of the sands to guide him. His ever-reliable staff, rumored to be imbued with the power of the elements, is always by his side. He has appeared by many a wounded person's side, healing them with his water magic. Many inhabitants of the desert have also reported campfires starting by themselves, which they attribute to his power.

This is another desert-themed look for my elementalist and my first attempt at a dark-skinned character (though not a Norn). I wanted him to look like a wandering priest or ritualist of sorts. The centrepiece of this look is the the masquerade mask, which resembles a headdress, though more practical and not as flashy as the female version. The chestpiece, leggings, and mantle all contribute to the robed appearance, and the lightweight shoes/sandals complete the look. I used the beaded staff as the weapon because I thought the warm colors suited the desert theme, and also because the beads match the four elements (well, there's no brown for earth, so yellow will have to suffice... or we could just say that the staff itself symbolizes earth!).

Hope you like him!
