I cannot explain why I haven't posted this one yet, since it is my ultimate, all time, undisputable favourite. I love the theme, the story behind it I came up with, and I absolutely ADORE it on the Forsaken, I cannot be happier with it, ever.
I put it together back in the days of fighting for the Alliance, and took some screenshots of Nestalhir showing it off in some pretty shady places, but I didn't appreciate all its beauty until I race changed.
The way I like to think of it now (I like to justify the race change with some in-character story rather than just "I luv the forsaken" - sue me) is that Nestalhir, a human discipline priest, suffers from a bipolar disorder *trying to explain the shadow offspec and her episodes of violent face meltings* and well, her life ends in a dramatic attempt to finally find peace. She wakes up from what was meant to be eternal sleep, and to her initial dismay finds out her affinity to shadow has increased in strenght. The light that she cherished all her life now abandoned her, but she is not ready to abandon her former identity. *Insert the lore explanation for forsaken priests bending the light and suffering*
I don't think I have ever mentioned it here, but I'm a die-hard fan of Tim Burton's creations, and if I had the guts and money I would dress like a proper (neo-Victorian) goth. I like the creepy stuff, I like scary stories.
The way I see this particular transmog set is the burial dress Nestalhir wore when she woke up to her life in undeath (is this even a correct way to say it?) The candles, the dead roses on her staff, it all makes me think of Nestalhir as a character from Christina Rosetti's poem or the like.
