A few favorite shots from the West Weald main quest.

I asked for this scattered light effect during the West Weald main quest last year!

Just going through old screenshots and this shot reminded me: All of the world Lucent crystals have it, but our furnishings do not. #eso ho

These actually took a while to get, it was crowded back then!

Maybe spoiler-ish if you haven't done it yet:

So I have a fun question about Mirrormoor. We know that Fargrave is a fragment of the realm, and that Ithelia's influence on the Loom Quarter added a glass/crystal/mirror motif to parts of it. So, what do you think Mirrormoor looked like before Ithelia was locked away? How different would it be if Ithelia was pieced back together?

A restored Mirrormoor is an idea that I'm really tempted to explore. My Vestige could threaten to kick Mora's ass if he tries to tear it apart as part of his Aurbis-wide memory wipe. Mortal Ithelia could end up with Mirrormoor as her afterlife.

Ngl my first thought was a house of mirrors/mirror maze kind of deal but instead of your actual reflections, you see your other paths reflected in the glass :3

I do wonder how the Grasp and the Strictures relate to Ithelia. Did she impose them during her reign over Mirrormoor, or were they established around the time of her sealing in order to maintain a semblance of order in the realm while she was gone? And how does her return change the rules? If she enacted the Strictures, then do the Grasp serve her regardless of whether or not its members are Shardborn, or do they remain independent regardless of her presence?

I wish we could've seen how the city responded to Ithelia's return and how things might have been shaken up. Madam Whim would have been all over buying and selling impulses and information tied up with her.
