Some design thoughts for Enclave in her Church of Eilistraee Era.

First of all, I want to thank everyone for giving me links to design stuff on this post. It was actually a massive help for gathering the direction that I wanted to go with this. I've placed some (long) general musing's I had while drawing this under the cut.

So. Originally, I wanted to play with this design note from Ed's twitter that you can find on the wiki:

"...Eventual cloaks, scarfs, shawls, and other over-the-shoulder garb was usually dyed midnight blue, and sparkled with tiny glitters, to resemble a starry sky..."

However, the phrasing of it really interested me. "Eventually" implies that this is a fashion style that might be pretty recent in development. Given that Enclave was working within Eilistraee's church in the God Given Faerun year of *squints* 1115, I decided to go with a few simpler styles that focused more on the silver-y, loose fitting outfits that are described in the 2e era content. I think, going forward, having this fashion divide of the "older era" vs the "newer era" could be really interesting, especially given the larger changes the church seems to go through down the line as a result of the masked lady era.

That's besides the point of why Enclave is here today, however. Today, she is a spy, and specifically spying on Eilistraee's church while she's still with Lolth.

All of the clothing here are things that can be "Easily slipped off," So to say. The first outfit is a loose-fitting dress that would fall off the second the clip is undone, the bulk of the fabric on her hunting gear is held together by intricate knots or through being held into place by the leather, and her furs are just like... a blanket. She's naked under there. But she IS comfortable and warm.

(While I am someone who is all for normalizing nonsexual nudity, clothing DOES have purpose outside of self-expression. + I also think, with communities like the church of Eilistraee, it's important to take into account that a casual worshiper or someone that grew up in the community probably isn't going around naked as often as the clerics themselves are. Even if I do imagine casual nudity is, nonetheless, pretty accepted.)

I wanted all of the colors to feel a little washed out. Even the leather of her equipment and the furs that she wears to sleep are a lighter shade than the equipment she keeps down the line.

While I liked some of the more elaborate pieces that got linked to me on the aforementioned post, Enclave is ultimately someone who feels more comfortable in practical clothing that's easy to move around in with minimal ornamentation. This is also something that pops up in her later design, as the designs that are both the most tight-fitted and ornamented are the clothing she tends to wear in her lolth-era. So I decided to go with some simpler outfits.

Finally, a lot of the details that I added here were purposefully done to have her stick out (From a symbolic design perspective.)

- She always has her hair styled up. Of course, in-universe this has practical application of being ways of keeping it out of her face. But out of universe, it's a way of separating her design from the churches expectations. Though she ends up growing her hair out, she never quite ends up wearing it the way it's expected to be, because she never quite ends up comfortable enough within the church to do so...

-The blue's that her pants use in her hunting uniform, while inline with Eilistraee's navy blue, is the same blue that is used in her lolth-era shirt. The colors of her true allegiance, while covered by the bulk of the outfit, are still showing through.

-Finally, the equipment she uses while on one hand accepted in Eilistraee's churches (as the bow with silver-tipped arrows IS described being things her community uses) is not their preferred equipment. It is also, however, not her preferred equipment either. While she knows how to use them, she has always been someone that prefers smaller, bladed weapons. Not only does she not entirely fit into the church, she isn't comfortable with the gear she has either...

-However, her influence within Eilistraee's church also ends up shining through when she returns to Lolth's church full time. She keeps her mostly down, with minimal styling. Likewise, the colors of the clothing she wears within lolths church are lighter than anyone she's surrounded herself with. In many ways, she never quit seems to fit in any of the communities she puts herself into, always a little influenced from the place she came from before....
