Suggestion: Restoring Lordaeron's Colors

Post by Aeliren » Wed Oct 16, 2024 4:43 pm

Most of the military or paramilitary Lordaeron-affiliated NPCs are town militias in Hillsbrad Fields and Southshore, as well as a few militiamen also in the Tirisfal Uplands. However, both Hawk's Vigil in Wetlands and the Remnants' Camp in Tirisfal have actual soldiers in armor; they bear the sigil of Lordaeron, but they also wear the blue armor primarily associated with Stormwind.

My suggestion would be to switch them to the white-colored Theramore guard armor to match with their nation color from Warcraft II being white. While it's true that, like with the blue armor being associated with Stormwind, the white armor is currently associated with Theramore, the latter was primarily founded by the refugees of Lordaeron, which would logically cycle back to Lordaeron's national color being white. Keeping the tabard also gives it a nice pop of blue color to tie it all together. While being at it, I suggest giving Captain Silas a tabard to match his men.

Stormwind/Azeroth remains blue, Stromgarde is red, Kul Tiras is green, Gilneas was given its black coloration when it was added to Turtle WoW in 1.17.0 (with a brown recolor for the Gilneas Brigade/Ravenwood Rebellion), and I think that Lordaeron should be given its white color once more to match.

As proof of concept, here are my armor suggestions for Captain Silas, the Remnants Knight and the Remnants Footman/Vigil Guard respectively (created in Epsilon), with the original appearance linked for comparison:

Looks awesome! I'd love to see other classes/jobs with the same vibe!

Well, incidentally, I did make a few other Lordaeron NPCs with a similar concept for a project I was working on Epsilon.

Lordaeron Mage:

Lordaeron Priest/Priestess*:

Threw this one together fairly quickly, but there's also a decent white leather armor that can work for the Lordaeron colors as well to round up the various armor classes:

Not Lordaeron this time, but I was also very proud of this Alteraci Mage outfit I made on Epsilon as well for the same project with the limited orange-colored outfits at my disposal:

*There are already priests in the Remnants Camp, but I figured that they're supposed to represent the high elf priest unit from Warcraft III.

This looks absolutely fantastic (not the models, but the fashion) for the lore and possible narrative development. I think Turtle WoW really needs those factions reintroduced properly as they were back in Warcraft 2-3 after the Alliance had been formed.

I absolutely think we need to add this. And not just to Lordaeron humans, but all human kingdoms and possibly other places where it might make sense.
