The image immediately brought back to my mind questions that have been repeatedly asked here on these lore forums:
#1 Is Evennia from Elonia?
#2 Is she, in fact, Elonian Royalty?
#3 Is she a Paragon?
My answers:
#1 Probably yes.
#2 Perhaps.
#3 Current info makes this a No. Female paragons seem to have different armors than the one worn by Evennia.
My reasons for answering Yes to 1 and 2 are the armor similarities:
- The fan shape on the back of the neck
- The flared arm guards
The fact that the elonian armor on the right is more adorned could indicate royalty or a position of power; while Evennia's is alot more plain. Perhaps this is a result of Evennia living with those Rebel Shining Blade?
I'd like to see your insights on this.|||Maybe Evennia just hasn't saved up enough gold to get her 15k.
Sorry, couldn't help myself.
Anyway, those armors do look rather similar, and it's nice to see some kind of proof for all these "Evennia is Elonian" theories floating around here. I'm not sure about her being royalty, but it IS possible that she's Elonian. We just won't know for sure until Nightfall comes out. Although...just because she isn't in Nightfall doesn't mean she ISN'T Elonian, I guess. It would just mean that we don't have any conclusive proof one way or the other.|||Instead of typing out a long drawn out explanation of why I disagree, I will respond visually with a counter-example of why you cannot base things solely on looks:
Do you see my point? Two very similar looking things can be so completely unrelated to the point of sheer lunacy of comparison.|||that's an awesome comparison quintus lol|||Quote:

"Sheer lunacy" is a bit strong, Quint.
The "looks" I was basing the comparison on was the Armor; not physical resemblance, like your example.
Plus, the comparison you gave can mean a couple of things:
- They were both taken during the same era, when those moustaches were in style.
- That both Hitler and Charlie Chaplin had the same barber. (a bit of a stretch, but its possible. Apparantly, anything goes.)
Let's stick with comparisons in-game: Rastigan the Eternal wears FoW armor. Some PvE players wear FoW armor. Safe bet to say that both armors were made in the same place: FoW
If you must make a long drawn out comparison; then go ahead - that's what scientific discourse is all about.|||Elonian, yes very probably.
Royalty? Why the hell would she be royalty? Her armour's more plain, royalty don't generally rush off ot other nations and the only similarity is armour.|||well one thing is rather certain and that is that she isn't a paragorn but a monk (she heals a bit in ice caves) . The rest is pure speculation.|||you're right, maybe Saidra and Evennia came from Elona because even how they speak seems a bit elonianish ^^ lol|||She is not a Paragon, she uses monk skills.
Then again, perhaps she is a dual-proffesion, just like players.....
She can be Paragon/ monk|||Quote:

I would have chalked Saidra's accent to the possibily of her being an Orrian survivor herself. That or she'd been for some reason raised by the dwarves, but my first idea sounds more reasonable.
Also, Evennia may have been in the Mantle herself, but saw what they really did with the "Chosen" and made a break for it.
