<p>Love it. I see Norrath's Erollisi has some things in common with Den Lille Havfrue!</p><p><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hsbqMfHVbXI/StRvauIkGjI/AAAAAAAAAf4/KzdW119xKfo/s320/havfruen.gif" /></p>

<p>Please, please, please add the Coldain hair/beard styles and coloration to the dwarf pallet. Or when you're looking at your appearance in the character creator/Shave and a Cut or whathaveyou, you can click a tab that changes it over to the Frost Dwarf skin colors and hair/beard styles.</p>

<p><span style="color: #00cc00;">A lot blue-er then I remember from EQ1 when they where pale white with traces of blue in their skin...I wonder the lore behind that.... Many seemed to have lost their beards as well....</span></p>

[Nayawk]

<p>Looks really good.</p><p>One tiny thing struck me though, I get that the orcs and the dwarves have all evolved for the cold, but those event NPC, looks like the Swornlove twins, and their sleaveless friends in brown must be freezing to death, I would expect far more things to be inside in that enviroment.</p>

[Narino]

<p>Yes, please add those skin/beards options to the dwarfs. Makes sense if New Halas is added as a starting city ;P</p>

[Larkverdin]

<p>Yes to the new beard/hair styles, I can see the Kaladim dwarves choosing to adopt a new hair/beard style from their long lost cousins, but no to the new skins. New skins wouldn't just be a new skin for the dwarven race, it'd be a whole new race, to which there is no need</p>

[psisto]

<p>That does look very promising <img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p>I cant wait for all those goodies to hit the servers, and I definitely wonder what the travel revamp and storyteller system are going to be like.</p>

<p>Ohhh...It gave me goosebumps! </p><p>*tries really hard to contain her excitement*</p>

<p><img src="http://eq2players.station.sony.com/images/en/features/videos/halas_reborn/halas_reborn3.jpg" width="400" /></p><p>I have a question - if this is the statue of Erollisi commissioned by Mithaniel, why is it based on a human model instead of a Halasian?</p><p>Thanks to my guildmate Rhylea for noting this.</p>

[Cynith]

<p>I noticed that too - especially considering the body inside the coffin in SoL is clearly Barbarian</p><p>It's still a really beautiful statue !! I want! <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

<p>As a student of Art History -- portraying Erollisi Marr as a Human is like the Medieval artists portraying Biblical characters as pale-skinned Europeans instead of sun-browned Middle Easterners....</p>
