I am a very, very bsd person. Because I STRONGLY spoiler some of the Green Stone characters in advance. But here's to you, just to let you know that not only Kai is handsome on the archipelago.

“Richard, here the clouds are very low above the ground. There is a lot of storm water in the sky, it sags like gray velvet over the mountains. When they go to the mountains, they put on armor. Imagine, they go to battle with their bosom, and into the mountains - in armor. They look like Greek gods, Richard. Those statues in the London museum ... The professor would not approve, if I looked at the statues like that. They like it. They laugh back.”

— Arthur, it is the fifteenth of December, somewhere beyond the edge of the world.

Actually existing museum exhibits have become the prototype of Kai and Toho clothes. We once went to Mount Aoraki (it is also Mount of Cook). This is the highest peak of New Zealand (3724 m), which is located in a string of Southern Alps on the South Island (in the background of the picture is a photo taken by us there). At the entrance to the national park around this mountain there is a wonderful tourist center, which has a place to relax and a large-scale stylish museum.

In this museum, we've found upon a Maori costume that they usually put on for expeditions in the mountains. The fact is that on the West Coast, glacial rivers carry a precious green stones. And then, for these stones the guys from the east coast set off, crossing the mountain range. This costume was a kind of “armor”, not only for battle, but for protection of wind and cold. They covered their hands, covered their chest, wore more longer skirts + in this case they wore shoes.

As for my subjective taste - all this is very similar to elven armor with shibari elements x) But the silhouette of the bib really resembles the shells that the New Zealand studio Weta presented to the elves from The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. Well, the dragon age is a bit like that, yes. My inquisitor was an elf, but he ran in a blue qunari suit.
