This Month's Edition

Editor-in-Chief: Rohese Bayvel-Timsh'l

Editor's Thoughts

Phoenatos and Imaerasta kept us busy with FashionCon 5119 in the Shining City of Ta'Illistim, the reopening of the Duskruin Arena in the less salubrious Bloodriven Village, and the engaging gargoyles hosting us at Windfellow's Retreat on the Isle of the Four Winds. With the excitement of Ebon Gate now upon us, the team at Elanthian Vogue thought it might be appropriate to produce a bumper edition that gives festival goers something interesting to read and discuss while playing games, chasing merchants, and shopping on Caligos Isle during the month of Jastatos.

In the recent Duskruin Supplement, we gave you a hint as to the theme of this edition and I hope you were all able to pick up some of the items mentioned so you are ready to demonstrate your bohemian nature this fall in both the way you dress and your knowledge of art.

Art plays an important role in our lives in that it expresses individuality, creativity, and feeling; it is what visually enhances our world and our existence in it. This month, we take a closer look at how much we rely on it and ways in which we can make use of art to more freely express ourselves as individuals, for example, through the use of henna and tattoos. We have also been fortunate enough to persuade a few very talented artists to tell us more about the Elanthian art world from their perspective and I'm sure you will find their insights fascinating!

As always, don't forget to send us your comments on any of the articles in this month’s publication or suggestions for future editions!
