I was very impressed by the level of research and fidelity of representation of Indian culture in Thavnair/Radz-at-Han.

The developers and localizers exceeded my expectations.

Here is a guide to the Indian cultural references present in Thavnair:

It gives me joy making things for my friends.

Is that your laughter
I hear behind my shoulder?

Loneliness disguising itself as independence and self-sufficiency.
#wolqotd Today my tarot deck drew The Hermit, a card of isolation and deep introspection.

If your character was to slow down and take a deep look inside of themselves, what would they see?

What's a fun fact about how your WoL/OC Fights? It can be anything.

For me- Taro's Gunbreaker stance emulates a Garlean's because he trained with the Gunblade in the field. Because Marsak didn't have time to teach him basic stances, he fell back to what he already knew!
