I've decided to make some extremely messy concepts for a Fable design

I'm still not sure if Fable will end up working as EOW Zelda, but I genuinely really like the design with the black cape! I think it works better than the one with the white cape

These are most definitely not final designs but I think they're pretty good concepts

I really wanted to include the stripey-half-sleeves but I also wanted long sleeves. She's probably very hot in that outfit 😭

Edit: okay, yeah. That outfit looks better without the long sleeves

[Personal Headcanon] Timelord diplomat Disclaimer: This is not me attempting impose it on everyone else as a definitive just as reference for my work following this to avoid confusion. The series 4 Timlord action figure with robes that do not match any of the Chapters's is a pre .S.W.i.H./.S.G.T.W. and .T.W.i.H./.T.&L.G.T.W. Timelord diplomat. Given Timelord pomp and ceremony and the standard diplomatic tactic of showing a united front they would have a seperate non Chapter based set of robes. What was worn to the Venue Accords. Unmodified Timelord robe template by Time-Lord-Rassilon.

Murray Sinclair: "It really is Manitoba's true act of reconciliation."

Wab Kinew was sworn in as Manitoba's 25th --and Canada's first First Nation-- Premier. A sign of hope, and a joyous occasion.

@cauthon I'm 10 chapters in and obsessed, it's everything I want in a book. Thank you so much for your rec!!!

Okay after seeing your post about period dramas(which I totally agree with) I am begging you to read 'The Hands of the Emperor' by Victoria Goddard.

Legit the best book I have ever read.

The main character Kip, didn't start of as a noble but eventually became basically second to the emperor in power. He then dedicated his career to reforming the goverment. With such acts as;

-Fixing the postal system and creating sea trains (and making sure they reached EVERYWHERE).

-Rooted out corruption.

-Created stockpiles of food and supplies in case of disaster

-Impliment an annual stipend for everyone to alleviate poverty (also built homes for this) and allow people to pursue arts without having to be concerned over income.

-And so much more

The emperor, who was not meant to be emperor, who loves his people but hates his life and is just trying his best, is in full support of everything this man does.

The book starts quite late in his career so much of this acts are already done and it's just more goverment reforms, pure competence on his end, court intrige with and amazing focus on his relationship with the emperor, the emperors household and the relationship between his position and his culture.

Sorry to rant but I cannot explain how amazing this book is and also meets the points you have mentions, though the main character doesn't start as a noble. There is also heaps of fealty and yearning <3

Alexandra Rowland as did a Tor article on why you should read here:
