Outfits
Toward the Distant Horizon
Durin's outfit. Durin's original outfit has received a new lease of life now that he's taken up his mother's pen. Ultimately, he bid farewell to the past once painted by its previous owner. When the lock on his heart faded away, the distant horizon his wish now points to became the direction in which his story continues to unfold.
A Gift From the Stars
Durin's outfit. As the smoke from the alchemical array gradually dissipated, a glimmer of starlight drew Durin's gaze toward the window. In the reflection in the glass, he saw himself dressed in elegant garb, like a prince straight out of a fairy tale. When he looked down at himself again, he realized he was wearing that very same outfit. But who could've given him this gift? The stars outside merely twinkled soundlessly, providing no answers.
