New Fashions!
I must admit that I was totally against girlie clothes before the patch. One of the things I like about the game is how the men and women are treated equally. However, now that the new dresses and robes are in the game, I absolutely love them! They're pretty! Plus the boys can wear them too; no favoritism. Thanks to Nebrodi-Ebr for giving me my first blue dress and Shadow Reaper for my first Jack O'Lantern. Here I am below, with my new cleavage!

Alexander the Deft tells you, "Heh, I bet you're wondering what a handsome guy like me is doing up here in Eastham. Well, this town is better than that Ayan Baqur place! I heard they have a Virinidi there! 

Alexander the Deft tells you, "In times far past, many knights emblazoned the image of High King Pwyll onto their helmets in order to show others that they fought in his name.
