Ok, now i can really coment what i did to the sprite o.o
I thought that his cape was just too pointy, so i made it more like a... well, a cape ^^""
Oh, and the cape was flying to 2 directions... i found it weird, so i changed that too.
I made his shouder armor (is it written like this? o.o) a bit more... uhm... well, i changed it a little (cant find words to describe.... bad english of mine =.= )
Oh, and i think that his hair was too dark, so i changed it too.
Ah, and his eyes were changed too ^^"""
Well, about the sword... i think that this lightning part just doesnt look like lightning o.o
I cant help with lightning effects, since im not really much experienced... actually, i dont even know if my edits helped with anything XD

Humm.... I'd just like to ask u guys to take a look at the other edits i made, not in the sword, but in the rest of the body o.o

Well, thats it, then ^^"
See ya, and good luck o.o/
I've arrived \o.o/

Urs wrote:@Noyga - I meant the decision making nobility. In IE, the great council of the sidhe is made up of 12 thunderblades each governing a province, and 6 Stormlords. Also, the clothing of the nobility is turquise, not silver. Silver is their hair. And what's a "hoarfroster"? Also, they have glowing blue eyes.
Helle EE and IE Sidhe nobility are supposed to have more or less the same background.

Hoarfrosters are non nobles that try to imitate the nobility by spellcasting.
Althrough they try hard they fail to cast the same spells, but end up with a different kind of magic : they cast snow and blizzard instead.
Through the nobility don't lightly accept them in the ranks of the mages, the nobles are pragmatic and recognise that their magic can be a supplement of they own skill, thus give the 'Snowdancer' or 'Blizzard Lord' title as a reward to the most skilled and loyal ones.
As non noble, they have black hair.
And as snow/blizzard caster their clothing is in a lighter color (well it's currently some kind of light violet).
Here the current frames which were a quick frankenstein of the Raindancer line (some details aren't really visible on a white background) :
(Hoarfroster, Snowdancer, Blizzard Lord)

Whats o.o?

I'd say 'make your own wiki', but that might be a bit of a stretch. The Orbivm wiki works mostly because it holds so much information, and because Orbivm has more of a backstory than the extended era.

The sprites are quite old I think that they need some tries to get them right. Have you a prefered color for your faction?

You might have quessed it the Aragwaith for example use dark green. :)
