Ka'hurst pauldron embossed with a screaming skull of duality

LOOK: Cast in a stark interplay of light and shadow, the embossed image of a skull commands attention with its paradoxical duality. One side of the face is a hollowed-out skull, its bony structure starkly revealed, the vacant eye sockets and gaping maw speaking of mortality and the ephemeral nature of life. In stark contrast, the other side of the face bears the delicate contours of Human flesh, the soft skin and gentle curves hinting at life's vibrancy and resilience.

There appears to be something written on it.

LOOK: Tailored of rugged shadowleaf exhibiting a darkly mottled patina, the greatcoat is an imposing garment capable of completely enshrouding its wearer. Trimmed along the shoulders and back, the stark white fur of an exquisite hiro bear pelt contrasts sharply against the achromatic leather, the head fashioned into a hood to protect against inclement weather.

LOOK: Supple pleats of violaceous enaada cover the rear and thighs extending to mid-knee from a fur-trimmed waistband. Double rows of buckled strapping at each hip provide an adjustable fit, while a hidden waist pocket covertly houses a journey's worth of treasures.

LOOK: Twin sanguinai straps weave through darkened spaulders crossing at the midline of the chest, a pair of silversteel rivets securing their junction. The patterned crimson whorls of the sanguinai leather adding depth to an otherwise simple motif.

LOOK: The buttons of this open-front tunic create a nearly seamless closure of the Imperial weave fabric from the sternum down. Despite a practical cut designed to hang loosely off the frame, the garment skirts formality with a stiff collar, neat hems, and ending just below the waist.
