Maybe devs don't have a reason to add it to the game, but I think it will bring activity to the game whole year, everyone will look for favorite mount everyday not just at event time.
Endless time of doing dungeons for drop, daily killing bosses for drop and opening chests etc..

Глаарум 
Итория:
Некогда Глаарум, будучи многовековым ивовым древом, остался стоять одиноко у реки после великой катастрофы роняя слезы в воду, казалось бы от того, что ива долгожитель ничего не могла сделать для сохранения леса. Обходя земли свои, Нуаду увидел эту грустную картину, и решил благославить единственное уцелевшее древо после пожара. Получив благославление древо преобразилось в человекообразного треанта в доспехах, которые со временем стали только прочнее и твёрже. По сей день он живет защищая леса Аринара от бедствий легиона и всех тех, кто намеренно вредит его зеленому дому.
(написал бы полную историю, но она больше написанного в 4 раза (из-за приукрасок и точностей). Боюсь кары судей  )
 
Описание:
Костюм состоит из крепко сплетенных цветущих ивовых ветвей и цветущих лоз, которые составляют тело, и покрывающий его доспех. Плащ – является главной деталью костюма, ведь в основном он отвечает за функциональность Глаарума, так как является главным источником восполнения его сил и регенерации всего тела. Доспех состоит из изменённых временем ветвей, сплетенных вокруг тела треанта. На голове находится деревянная маска, скрывающая вечнозеленые лозы.
 
 



 

Costume Description: A leaf-colored cape with orange patterns, as well as a brown deer mask with matching antlers, and felt boots of the same brown color.

Fun note: when you look at the costume upside down, the back view looks like a cute bug. 
 
My nickname: Neka (I'm warlock 16 lvl).
My server: Sea-Pearl.

Вольная лига всегда славилась смелыми купцами, готовыми ради звонкой монеты отправиться на край света. В пустынной стране, далеко на юге, один из них за многие годы странствий стал настоящей легендой, проходя во главе каравана в своем ослепительно роскошном наряде через страшнейшие песчаные бури, и возвращаясь в Надир-Сард с редчайшими товарами во всем Аринаре.


 

Борода Аруджа

 
Легенда появления в Аринаре
 
Описание костюма:

Костюм представляет из себя левитирующую бороду, наделённую магическими свойствами.



Борода имеет руки, которыми являются части особой пиратской амуниции. Состоят руки из следующих предметов:
- кожаные краги кремового оттенка
- тёмно-серые наручи из прочной и красивой ткани
- массивные наплечники в цвет наручей, изготовленные, по слухам, из акульей кожи и плавников

Голову костюма формирует костяной венец, материалом для которого послужил череп неизвестного морского чудища. Внутри необычного головного убора ужасающим синим пламенем горят глаза.

Карамба! Будьте прокляты, Боги, воплотившие и впустившие в мир Аринара это существо!

Spring is about to start with the bright sunlight and singing birds, and that means it's time of the warmest of the holiday, but never gone through without surprises, most often unpleasant. Cold winds are raging once again and the winter was just gone, how could that be real?! Blizzard is threatening Arinar with the ice magic and the army of frozen creatures. Who will stop them? Only those who manage to find out Blizzard' weakness and the secret of his power. It's time to save Arinar from freezing.

Yet another floating costume.
I couldn't design good legs, so.. Heh.
 
 
 

 
 
Costume Details:
It didn't look like my initial concept, but I like how it turned out.
The costume consists of ceremonial helmet and pauldrons, breastplate akin to ribs, gauntlets and a purple robe. No legs because I'm really a fan of animated panoplies.. or maybe I'm just lazy.
 
Description of the Costume:
The ceremonial thingies are made of brass. I tried, but it kinda looked like gold in the end. But it's brass, trust me. Same goes with the breastplate down to gauntlets, then the robe is made out of velvet. Wait, was it's silk, or satin maybe? Anyway, how this thing can move around is..
I dunno, Power of Friendship, I guess.
 
 

 
 
Possibility of Implementation in the Game:
It isn't Spring themed, so I doubt I'll win. I wrote a bit of lore below the topic though, but who reads lore anyway. Ehe.
 
Originality of the Work:
If ever this costume I designed is exactly like anything that's already existing, I apologize. But I believe every art is inspired by something. Also, it's most likely just a coincidence because I started from scratch. Especially that damn legs.. really made me scratch.
 
My inspirations for this are Death from Symphony of the Night, Gwyndolin from Dark Souls, Isidora from Blasphemous, Faceless, Bone Lord and my dear Nocturna from Warspear.
 

"Once worn by the Battle Choir from one of the many Orders that serve Harad, their chorus reverberated in battlefields and was rumored to rival Firstborn's lullabies. When they succumbed to Garahan's curse, warriors who lost their faith from the agony never made their way back to the Sun God's side. Their souls and voices haunted the things that once held meaning to them, animating the armors that used to symbolize their Order. Adventurers said that nothing is amusing with encountering these tragic beings, as one can hear depressing melodies stating torment and anguish in their verses."

Best costume already!

Description Page:
"From the depths of the dark abysses of Arinar, these demonesses inhabit, their mission is to spread panic and fear, they dedicated themselves for many years to torturing those unfortunate souls who had a life of bad deeds and desires that fall in combat during wars ."
"Recently after serving for long years locked up tormenting the souls of the lost to their fateful end, they decided to rise to the surface using their human form and they can be distinguished because their horns and tail are visible thanks to a powerful spell cast by a priest with the help of a human wizard, both were called [ ... ] and [ ... ] were loyal faithful of Harad.
 
"They are quite skillful they can impersonate any living creature, and they have skills that attack from the deepest dreams of the living, they deeply hate the human Priests of the sentinels, and what they want most is to destroy the cause of good because they consider it a waste of time because with only go to the war to kill and hate the enemy is a cause of eternal damnation, they think that a world full of evil would be better than doing good in vain."
 
"Currently they have infinite powers, and only works for their conveniences, it is said that the damned souls are used to create a huge army to erradicate all humanity of the Earth, all types of skills are unknown, they are very good in combat, and they never stop causes problems to people who still alive. Living people are advised not to deal with these beings because they usually feed on blood and leave incurable wounds that lead to death."

Wasp
Wasp is predacious insect that live in the grasslands and forests of Arinar. Using poisonous sting it attack other creatures, even inhabitants of Arinar were not safe from its attack. Spring is the perfect time for its attack. As it is very quick it's impossible to flee from it. If you hear it thrilling buzz, it is too late to escape.

Throughout time people have ventured the dry desert, some seeking treasures and richness in the runes and tombs, others found refuge in the place from tyrant governments, few called the place home. But as people walked in the hot, dry plain, rumors started to spread, that when the sun reaches peak noon and when the heat is at its highest, a mirage forms around those who are stranded in sea of sands and from that sand immerges him.
 
    Few lived to tell of what they saw, but who had made it back speaks of a being with immense dread, a being so terrifying that you can't help but stand still and hope for the best, with eyes glowing red like those of a wolf in the darkness of the desert, and an expression so soft and kind that it confuses those that encounter him, wearing cloth made of silk that you could only see on royalties, nobles and some times rich merchants. Walking aimlessly in the desert. But what terrifies people the most is what he speaks of...
 
    With a husky and dry voice like the dryness of the desert, he speaks words of forgiveness, asking... or more like begging for salvation, he speaks in resentment and agony, some witnesses descripted it as a subject asking their creator for mercy... others said that it looked more like a creator asking for forgiveness from the subject they had abandoned
 
    Some people though of the being as a Jinn, a demonic being that lures kind people into their inevitable death, some fanatics created cults and started worshipping him as some sort of heavenly being, most people though of it as merely an illusion created by the heat of the desert. regardless of what it is, names started appearing, labeling him as "The King of Sand", "The Desert Soul", "Sandman" but no name resonated more with the people that saw him as "Eminence of the Desert" a being acknowledged for their superiority within a particular sphere.
