im the only one who cares but BOY i accidentally got a lot of stuff right. ish.

Aiona's carding/spinning/weaving. Lines up quite nicely with Tunisian Amazigh kilim weaving.

Revallen's loose flowy clothes/lack of clothes. extremely easy to tweak slightly so he's in sarouel and jebba. color scheme is also extremely easy to tweak to match more cleanly with the mediterranean coastal vibe.

Nessie's dancing. i cannot find the names of the dance or the costumes but there's at least one involving tassels that. again. extremely easy to adapt

so far the biggest problem is that mentally i've categorized Spanish as Elvish and that doesn't quite mesh with the Arabic. and also their RED HAIR but tbh i think that's justified given that the majority of the elves in the Dalish origin in DAO are. redheads.

followed immediately by the turbans. I do like them. but have already established that Revallen does not wear things on his head. no hats no wraps no turbans. maybe a burnous when travelling through the desert or trying to be stealthy.

#i will in point of fact be tweaking hair/skin/eyes as much as makes sense #like im not getting rid of revallen's FLAME PUFF. likewise for nessie. and their skin is fine i think #aiona needs work though. even if shes not tillahnen her father was and she's just too pale #i may tweak revallen's natural eye color bc it changes when he gets the Anchor anyways #HMMMMMMM #also wait does red hair occur endemically in northern africa? god dammit. i need to go look at genetic trends #revallen lavellan #aiona lavellan #nessiava tillahnen #'how is a burnous stealthy' well you see as long as those dumbass shemlen don't see his ears he might as well be invisible
