* spoiler? * New Imperial furniture

MaisonNaevius

With Blackwood, a new imperial furniture will see the light of day ... It will be Nibenese furniture for the moment specific to Blackwood / Leyawiin. It remains to be seen whether the Nibenese furniture in the Nibenay Valley (we are still far from it) will have the same style as for the Blackwood.

Until now, imperial furniture aroused very little interest except among players who absolutely wanted to remain roleplay in imperial housing ... Very little interest because it is none other than recoloured Breton furniture.



The same furniture but with ornamental patterns and different colors: orange for Breton, green for Colovian and red for Nibenese. In terms of the coloring of the woody parts: light brown for Breton, dark brown for Colovian and gray for Nibenese.

At the dawn of the release of Blackwood and its new batch of Imperial furniture, Colovian furniture from the base game is still not available ... Indirectly depriving access to Second Empire furniture (lanterns, wells and low walls ). Note that the "imperial" furniture of the base game was originally called "Nibenese" furniture matching the Nibenese architecture of Anvil and Linchal which it was uncertain to see later in the future DLC in another area unlike to that of the Second Empire style. But plans and resources have changed and the chances of having access to basic Colovian furniture are now nil.

Each new extension brings their new batch of furniture and with Blackwood there is no doubt that the imperial furniture will be honored .. At least Nibenese. And the whole thing is very Roman. We find three recurring symbols / ornamental motifs.





I don't know if this floral symbol has any loristic significance in Nibenese culture because it was already featured on the Nibenese architecture of the base game. The floral symbol is however slightly different. In my investigation, some affirm that it is to mark the side more "refined" of the Nibenais unlike the rather crude, dark and simplified Colovians. Others claim it is the white gold tower in the center and the Eight (their planets) retained in the AEtherius (circular frame).



Here is an overview of some furniture visible on the promotional images.

Thanks for sharing!

There is a thread about the new Imperial furniture already, it may be a good idea to consolidate them so we discuss it in the same place!
