War mage mask designs (Kiymetl)
Added 2023-05-31 12:29:19 +0000 UTCEarly mock-up what battlemages wear to battle instead of full helmets.
The reason for faceplate approach is swag (wermages want to stand out and creature carapace if expensive), malleability of helmets in battle (showcased by Erf), constraints caused by excessive hair, and overall sturdiness of wermages making helmets less important.
#2 is Creature carapace carved into a faceplate with external ear protection.
#3 is what early "black wood" / "Tunic of Darkness" style could be as the Kiymetl ladies adapt new material for old designs.
#4 is extra\ceremonial\future versions as their skill at shaping the material improves.
