Nilme/Alterations

WIt's fun to get new things! It is especially fun to have those things really reflect your personality, interests, and aesthetic! Here are some items Nilme has had altered, or that have been altered and given to her as gifts. She's tried to include the name of the alterer when she can find it.

Jewelry

Loveglass Band

Gift from Useff Budna to match the one given to him by Nilme, 443 AV, Designed by Useff Budna and Nilme Iondu'il, Altered by Urdesas TAP: a translucent loveglass band set with a heartstone half note LOOK: Five slender rings of polished loveglass are bonded together to form an infinite, circular music staff, inlaid with a sparkling melody of tiny diamond eighth notes. A stunning heartstone half note rests over center staff, the radiant gem a counterpoint to the brightly-hued metal that gleams like expertly blown glass. A stylized 'N' nestled within the arms of a 'U' is delicately carved in intaglio relief on the surface of the stone. READ: "To my sweet, bard girl - yours forever, Useff."

Silversteel Pendant

Gift from Useff Budna, 440 AV, Designed by Useff Budna, Altered by Urdesas TAP: a silversteel pendant centered with a sparkling heartstone LOOK: Covered in tiny diamonds, a diminutive "U" and "N" are bonded together between a stunning heartstone, the symbolic duet reflecting their combined light in all directions. The letters are fused at the waist, giving the impression that they are holding hands, while the stone appears to float above. Engravings in tiny script adorn the back. READ: "To my Dazzling Duet partner -- all my love, Useff"

Neithrel Band

Cornmaze Scroll, 436 AV, Designed by Nilme Iondu'il, Altered by Scarecrow TAP: a polished Elven silver neithrel band with an amethyst wren caught in mid-song LOOK: Upon the symbolic Bardic jewelry, a proud wren wrought from a single deep violet amethyst rests freely on a perch of meticulously enameled lavender-hued flowers, while tiny diamond eighth notes form a spiral to hint at her dulcet song. Trailing broken bonds and a barren throne are subtly etched into the lustrous metal on the opposing side, furthest from the bird. Extending from the delicate bracelet, a trio of thin chains forms a bridge to a brilliantly sparkling ring with matching gemstones. READ: "Past sacrifices are the foundation of our freedoms."

Bindi - Dawnbreak Diamonds

HE 436 AV, Designed and Altered by [[Urdesas] TAP: a pair of dawnbreak diamond clefs LOOK: Two individual treble and bass music symbols are fashioned around one another, forming a single entity made from tiny but resplendent stones. The gems bring to mind the sky's palette at the rising dawn, holding a warm, golden shade at the center which blends outward to rosy pink before transitioning into tendrils of rich azure blue and violet tones at the edges.

Bindi - Shadow Emerald

HE 447 AV, Designed and Altered by [[Urdesas] TAP: an intricate shadow emerald lotus

Hip Chain - Mistglass Nightingales

HE 450 AV TAP: an alluring argent hip chain dangling an enchantment of mistglass nightingales LOOK: Delicate chains of differing lengths create a cascade of scalloped loops designed to drape gracefully around the wearer's hips. Dangling from the juncture of each loop is a diminutive mistglass song bird accompanied by tiny silver bells, which create a soft symphony of sound with even the slightest movement.

Lovely Little Loveglass Lily

HE 450 AV, Altered by Megaya To match Allye and Vixonia TAP: a lovely little loveglass lily LOOK: Glimmering silver gilt limns the curves of each petal, forming tiny beads at the joining points that shimmer like drops of morning dew. An elegant inscription graces the underside of the glossy, translucent pink bloom. A loveglass lily reads: "Why have one best friend when you can have two?"

'Body Worn - Branch

HE 447 AV, Altered by Sindah TAP: a delicate branch of rosebuds tinged in the diluted hues of a sunrise LOOK: Exquisite flowers, whose velvety, multi-hued petals are in various stages of unfurling, cluster along the winding branch to create a strategic cover as it lays across the body. Delighting in pale shades of cream, apricot, and pink, the barely-opened buds glisten as if in the light of early morning. Each gentle blossom of the diminutive flora releases a subtle, fresh fragrance, hinting of Spring and renewal.

Cambrinth Pendant

HE 436 AV, Designed by Kaedan Nethral, Altered by Eludia TAP: a delicate pendant of a nightingale and wren perched upon a Bardic Spirit Knot LOOK: An amethyst nightingale and a cambrinth wren perch gracefully upon the nest-like Bardic Spirit Knot cunningly wrought from silversteel. Intricately woven from the fine silvery strands, the ghostly image of a bell is cradled within the heart of the complex knot.

Charm Bracelet

HE 436 AV, Designed and Altered by Hashal TAP: a delicate charm bracelet of silversteel with a floral glaes inlay LOOK: Colored with crushed amethysts, the glaes forms a knotwork inlay of violets interwoven with wrens. The bracelet provides a delicate setting for charms, which shine in the light and softly chime with movement.

Whisper Charm

HE 443 AV, Designed and Altered by Megaya TAP: a splendid azure wren charm with radiant tyrium and sapphire markings LOOK: Intensely violet coloring of the rare metal creating the throat of the small, long-tailed bird, becomes even more striking in comparison to the deep, rich blue-black of the glaes wings, chest, and tail. Crushed darkly hued sapphires and lapis lazuli form the bill, eye band, and chest band, while a small amount of indigo-blue covellite provides vibrant iridescence to the ear-coverts.

Instruments and Instrument Cases

Khurmary

HE 443 AV, Altered by Kouzan Teirtu TAP: an elegant sana'ati khurmary depicting the singers of the Ru'atin Peri'el LOOK: This modest harp, 'Breath's Journey,' is favored by the Ru'atin Peri'el. Detailed in high-relief carving upon the curved neck, two women are portrayed mid-song. A lustrous nacre of tiny music notes and shar'nath blossoms, arranged as if floating on an unseen musical staff, drift down the slender body to the image of a woman singing over a sleeping dragon. Crescentic scales of kertig, draconic opal, and diacan scintillate with iridescence on the slumbering creature. READ: "Aiding Peri'el as she sings to the World Dragon"

Lap Harp

HE 436 AV, Designed by Kaedan Nethral, Altered by Kouzan Teirtu TAP: an e'erdream lap harp in the shape of a wren with a single outstretched wing LOOK: The body of the wren emerges from the base of the resonator as if taking flight, its head pointing straight up towards the heavens. One of the wren's wings is folded tightly against its body, while the other stretches to the top of the harp's resonator, forming the other arm of the well-crafted instrument. An image of an e'erdream tree, its lacy foliage and flowers spilling across the surface of the finely grained wood, has been inlaid in Elven silver into the resonator's surface.

Flute

Premium Cabana, 387 AV, Altered by True Bard Esmaril TAP: a luminous silvery flute engraved with spiraling songbirds LOOK: From the meticulously polished embouchure to the platinum open-hole keys, fine details are evident in the artistry of the instrument. Swirling around the keys, a series of wrens and nightingales have been carefully engraved, subtly accentuating the flute's extraordinary craftsmanship.

Tabla

HE 447 AV, Altered by Kouzan Teirtu TAP: An Elven silver inlaid tabla of mahogany with reinforced songsilk lacing LOOK: Expertly hand-carved from mahogany, bands of fine Elven silver are inlaid into the hourglass-shaped drum and engraved with a trail of complex music notation. Miniscule opals serve as the noteheads, their translucence complementing the rich reddish-brown wood without appearing ostentatious. Thin strips of lustrous songsilk, their crystalline latticework shimmering in the light, are tightly braided with supple black leather cords, and snugly secure the drumskins to each polished base.

Instrument Case

HE 436 AV, Designed by Nilme Iondu'il, Altered by Urdesas TAP: a songsilk musician's case with an artfully engraved silversteel and glaes panel LOOK: A vibrant panel of silversteel and glaes is inset into the songsilk covered case, expertly forged and engraved with a series of wrens, connected seamlessly by a trail of diamonds. They soar effortlessly among scenes of Bardic history: witnessing Peri'el singing to the World Dragon, Neithrel breaking his chains, weary bards stepping over rubble to enter a new guildhall, an older bard instructing several attentive students, and a young Elven woman smiling slightly as she plays a lap harp.

Containers

Eddy

Designed by Kaedan Nethral, Altered by Sindah TAP: a tempestuous eddy centered in an intricate frame of songsilk-lined Elven silver LOOK: Detailed engravings of musical notes adorn the polished silver that keeps the swirling eddy safely bound. The words 'Breath of Storms' are secreted amongst multiple curved mistglass lines that creatively depict stylized bursts of wind and stormy clouds of glaes. The force of the elaborate frame is softened by a lining of grey songsilk. The fabric's expertly woven latticework of shimmering silvery-grey crystals provides a softer, more delicate contrast to the depiction of the fierce storm.

Clothes

Amethyst Gown

HE 436 AV, Designed by Tiarmo, Altered by Urdesas TAP: A sensuously draped gown of Elven silk graced with glittering amethyst swirls LOOK: Dyed a rich violaceous hue, this alluring garment is designed to hug and accentuate the feminine form, skimming down to just tease the ground when worn. Shimmering whirls of amethystine jewels adorn the lustrous silk, twisting and turning in delicate shapes that highlight the gown's full-sleeves, sculpted bodice, and slim column skirt. A subtle hint of silver-sheened Elven lace flirts with the daring neckline, its plunging v-shape ending in a faceted knot cut from a deep violet amethyst.

Songsilk Corset

HE 439 AV, Designed by Tiarmo, Altered by Urdesas TAP: An alluring corset of emerald songsilk with subtle onyx stitching LOOK: Tailored to embrace the wearer's form and gently sculpt it into an enticing silhouette, the green-hued crystals within this overbust corset permeate the weave of the vivid emerald silk and shimmer with every movement. Delicate dark thread creates the suggestion of a pattern within the scintillating fabric. Nestled in the plunging vertex of the sweetheart neckline is a brilliant absinthe emerald caught in fanciful twists of silversteel filigree. The top hook of the songsilk corset is open.

Boyfriend Sweater

HE 443 AV, Altered by Urdesas TAP: A comfortable heathered grey sweater designed to be worn off the shoulder LOOK: Sumptuously soft to the touch, this cozy garment is cut to fit a large frame, with a wide neckline stretched slightly, ensuring it slips to the side when worn to allow for a glimpse of one shoulder. The subtle weight and texture of the fine-knit fabric, though relaxed and roomy, still clings beautifully to accentuate the feminine form as it combines snuggly warmth with stylish enticement. Tonal ribbing finishes the hem and the overlong sleeves that end well past the wrist.

Eolienne Halter Gown

HE 450 AV, Altered by Urdesas TAP: An eolienne halter gown with a dramatic windstorm gossamer underskirt and train LOOK: Draping from a choker encrusted with eventide moonstones, a swath of ethereal eolienne, fashioned to emphasize the feminine form, flows over the front of the body leaving the back and shoulders daringly bare. Additional moonstones swirl over the bodice, the silvery luminescence of the gems evoking images of a twilight sky in the light. The slim overskirt continues until it ends just above the knees giving way to the sheer underskirt of gossamer that falls to the floor in a tempestuous train.

Electroweave Pants

HE 450 AV, Altered by Rydaria TAP: Some curve-hugging electroweave pants belted with a lightning amethyst hip chain. LOOK: Tightly cut to showcase the legs when worn, the soft fabric appears charged with static electricity, gently coruscating in luminous shades of white, blue, and green along a network of jagged silvery streaks slowly shifting across the surface. A rich purple gemstone with a golden lightning-shaped inclusion at its core dangles slightly above the low waistline, suspended from the center of a delicate silversteel hip chain drawn taut between discreet clasps placed at either hip.

Weapons, Armor, and Shields

Shield

Guildfest 439 AV, Designed by Kaedan Nethrel, Altered by Hvelga TAP: A violet-washed shield inlaid with silversteel and mistglass wrens LOOK: A chime of ghostly mistglass wrens is cunningly inset within the deep violet surface of the shield. Their wings outstretched, the wrens take flight as if startled by a sudden noise. The central boss of the shield is a clenched gauntlet wrought of Elven silver, which has been placed above a lute of gold. A single silversteel wren, eyes focused outward, perches proudly on the gauntlet, seemingly unafraid of that which has scattered its comrades.

Longsword

HE 439 AV, Altered by Halvon TAP: A silversteel longsword embellished with knotwork and the Bard guild crest LOOK: The fatally-sharp blade stretches out from the curved crossguard that houses a stylized mistglass treble clef among raised Elven silver knotwork. Below the handle's songsilk-wrapped, leather grip shows indentations from frequent use. Counterbalancing the lengthy blade is a disk-shaped pommel inset with a shield-shaped medallion enameled with the image of a wren perched upon a fisted gauntlet over a lute of gold. Encircling the medallion an engraving reads "Here comes Treble."
