So. Having returned, I've started artificating the Windsong again. Not to discourage Henkutsu -- my thanks for taking up my faction in my absence -- but you know how it is. I've got kind of an idea how I want them to look and so on.

Anyways. Lorekeeper. More to come soon.

It could be just the way I'm looking at it, but she appears to have no left arm, due to the cape appearing under where the arm should be.

Shoulder cape.
Draped over the arm.
I actual like it.

Yes. If you look at the L1 sprite you will see how it fits.

I see it now, but a bulge might be helpful there.

Best make sure none of your Shamans are within 5 hexes of an enemy village.

Redid the Prophet's skirt; it was ugly. Also, megane hearts team color.

BTW, in gamma 5 the Lorekeeper's standing frame is still gatekeeper.png, and the Herald goes back to looking like a Weaver.

Edit: touch-up

Hmm.. well, since megane is back I guess that means I'll stop doing the windsong.

Do you intend to use any of the artwork/fiction/descriptions I've made? If not, then I might make my own faction from them. Similar to the windsong, but different it the ways already specified i.e use of The Raw, the northern continent, the way the clans are set out, The mandate etc. Maybe an alternate dimension version of the windsong?

Your descriptions are fairly good. Which ones go in and which don't are really up to JW at this point. From my point of view, the Windsong are sort of legends made flesh, so having varying concepts of the truth about them is perfectly in line.

However, you might note that they definitely hate machinery and physical aids of any kind, so building a big artifact is sort of out of character. That's more a dwarf way to do something; if a big, permanent magic effect were needed, the Windsong would more likely draw a huge magic diagram on a mountain somewhere, or maybe set up a committee dedicated to its upkeep.

Sorry, thanks. I'll update. I have a tendency to miss things like this.

I'm pretty sure I added your descriptions to the units in one of the last releases. Go ahead and check to make sure though if I botched that one too. Either way, I intend to use them if it turns out I screwed up again.
