The textures themselves look good, and I agree that the blue and silver is a fitting theme. Our worry is that we would then have three Elven equipment sets with a very similar base colour: Rivendell, High Elven, Galadhrim (and maybe Gondolin could be counted as well). The pale-gold-silver colour that the High Elves have at the moment may not be everyone's favourite but it does help distinguish them and that is something that we care about a lot, from our perspective considering the community as a whole.

Thanks, Mevans!

The four Elven armor sets should look related (Especially the three High-elven ones), but of course be distinguishable. We should establish clear color patterns for them, to break the monotony and avoid repetition. Overall, Lindon should be light blue and silver, Imladris should be light grey and silver with dark blue touches, and Lorien should have dark grey, white, and gold. This would create greater contrast between the factions, and an overall unification of color patterns.

I appreciate that you guys are considering my armor, and would like to extend the question to the community: Do you guys think that the armor willl be too monotonous, or will it be easily distinguishable? What changes should be made to distinguish them further?
