[Factions Ep. 7 - Cat A][O7 - Mandalore - CE] The way back home

Up until that point, one thing had been abundantly clear; Clan Eldar would never be able to relax until they had settled scores with their past; until they could walk the halls of their stronghold; until they were free and independent citizens of Mandalore.

I'll come back to the nitty-gritty of how we made that happen, but for now I'll tell you one strange story that sticks out from the whole endeavour:

When we finally got there; when I got to see the Eldar Stronghold for myself, the only person I met was a blind old housekeeper by the name of Zor-ann. A Miraluka, I am given to understand. A race who lost their sight millenia ago, and who learned to compensate for it in other ways.

Naturally, this being Mandalore, even the housekeepers are armed and deadly. And this one had single-handedly managed to keep this house from being stolen, demolished or ransacked for the better part of a decade. 

It took a few very scary moments for me to convince her that I was working for the same family she was, and that, yes, everything was going to go back to the way it was. 

When I relayed all this information back to Val Eldar, it was clear that she was overcome with emotion. Those big helmets might help to mask the tears, but you can't choke up for that long in front of a diplomat and expect me not to know what's going on.

Well that reunion would be a joyful one when it happened, but we still had a lot of work to do before then.

That is beautiful. Great color choices as well!

A really nice build and I am so glad that someone used that headgear for a miraluka - I have been considering how to make the species since I joined Factions and that is definitely the best part for it!

I'm putting together a whole series of nonhuman Mandalorians, and Zor-ann here is just the first in the set. 

I came at this from the other perspective; I really wanted to use the piece, it's got the Jaig Eyes, so it's really suitable for a Mando. But I didn't just want to build Kanan Jarrus in armour. Wanted a bit more nuance than that. 

@JintaiZ Thanks! That blue on the rug is a bit more vibrant than it looks in the build, so I'mglad to have that feedback.

Neat little dojo, and that wall ornament is super cool!

@Darth Bjorn Thanks. Bionicle has some gnarly bone elements that were begging to be used. I'll try and make more of these in future.

Love the KOTOR reference character and your bones.

Nice scene, the bones idea is great.
