Well well well if it isn't Mister One Bad Day Away from Turning into an Envy Demon, Falo'Din, himself.
Okay so, this one I sketched out fastest out of all of them so far, mostly because the mosaic gives us The Most Direction out of all of the Evanuris. BUT ALSO. He's got a lot to unpack too, at least for me.
My general idea is based loosely on obviously the shepherd theme, since he is "known" to guide souls through the fade (a navigator if you will, which is what I feel like his helmet symbol is adjacent to...or at least part of a compass etc) but also he's reflected as a god of Fortune which I think is fascinating. I wanted him to be decked out in some gold, because I picture him as a guy who just Wants to Acquire Stuff. He equates this hoard of things as a way to power maybe, and Elgar'nan is all about being big and imposing and Always in gold, so Falo'Din follows in that manner....but because at the end of the day he will never be Elgar-butthole he cannot fully commit to it. So with the teal I wanted to combine the traditional aquatic themes attributed to Navigation Gods AND the themes of Envy I think Falo represents and used one of my favorite in-between green and blue shades, that peacocky color is just *chef kiss*.
Speaking of Acquiring Stuff and his role in the fade.....I'm not gonna lie I almost picture him using his ability to traverse the Fade to 'guide' sleepers...like holding them hostage in dangerous places to coerce them to worship or tithe to him in grand amounts etc etc. Idk if that makes sense but I'm like I bet he could do that easily....if that was something he actually participated in. Its so funny he's referred to as "the most merciful" when Solas is like this bitch started a war(s)? cause ppl didn't like him as much as he liked himself. LOL. Also, the piece-y armor was something I wanted to do with him and Dirth, since they are one spirit sundered into two, there's no way that doesn't leave some sort of scar...even if it was done in spirit form and not in their physical bodies. So he uses these extremely shiny and specifically places armors to fade the scars/disfigurements etc. Like yeah sure they're the most powerful mages of the elves, and possibly maybe someone Could heal those...but also Idk I think sundering spirits should leave marks behind. Hopefully that all makes sense LOL.
Now onto Dirthamen! : D
