[renegade-hierophant]

Dervishes in Festive Attire by Vasily Vereshchagin, Tashkent, Turkmenistan, 1915.

The tall hats they wear are called kalpaks. 

A “black hat” in several Turkic languages is “kara kalpak”.

dressed elegantly. this will never leave my head. the implications of this.

because geralt and his company, they saddled up, left beauclair, travelled through mountains and frozen blizzards and downpours and muddy sod for two to three months. you need to pack outfits for that. you need to plan your gear.

what was the rest of the company wearing? what did they pack for this long journey? they packed practically, dressed warmly for the frozen journey of january, february, march. geralt wore a wolf-skin cloak, a scarf, a shawl… milva wore a fox-fur kalpak, angoulême wore a hat with a pompom and a sheepskin coat. cahir’s dress isn’t mentioned, but he must have been dressed similarly, because he rubs his hands briskly together and were he not dressed warmly he otherwise would have frozen to death. regis’ dress isn’t mentioned, but it is mentioned that he’s immune to the freezing temperature. so, i mean, it doesn’t matter what he’s wearing in this scene, maybe a regular outfit.

but at stygga. dressed elegantly.

so you’re telling me that. regis packed his things in preparation for their flight from beauclair, went to his quarters after geralt explained to him the satisfactory reasons they were leaving, and went,

“alright, time to prepare for this long and dangerous journey that will conclude in a great clash between our forces and the kidnappers of ciri. the end of our quest. the final journey. and a dangerous road awaits us, with snow still blocking the passes, frost and white all around. a grand fight and conflict awaits us. what gear should i prepare, what should i wear for this expedition, what kinds of clothing should i pack.”

and then he went:

“you know, i want to look fucking good ✨ when we get there 💅🏻🦇”

imagine the final preparation before they approach castle stygga. geralt sees the castle hewn out of the cliffside, effortlessly noticing every detail from far away, seeing like an eagle with his mutated eyes. and like an eagle, compelled to swoop down and snatch vilgefortz like a fish. ordering the company forward, declaring they’ve made it. this is the moment they have all been waiting for. everyone has been waiting such a long time for this. they prepared everything.

they wait until midnight. angoulême eagerly unsheathes and whets her long sabre, swings her axe around with predatory glee. cahir fits the plate armor and winged officer’s helmet he scavenged from a small nilfgaardian dispatch that they ran into extorting caravista for tax. milva tightens the same worn, polished leather bracer that she’s always had on her left arm, and mutters as she fixes her spiralled arrow fletchings over boiling water. geralt, with nothing left to do, paces and breathes, wondering where the hell regis has gone.

just then, regis walks out from behind an outcropping of rock, eyes glinting with cat-like light, in his “elegant” outfit, absolutely slaying that shit, and all his friends look at him absently like. “what the hell are you wearing. where the fuck did you get that. you packed that? you planned your outfit for the final battle, you planned this outfit in advance three months ago?” to which he counters, “well, three months isn’t very long at all,” and they’re like, “this is the preparation you made? we thought you left to do some secret vampire rituals or whatever. or to reckon with yourself for the severe violence we’re about to inflict.” and he’s like “no, i just wanted to make sure i was dressed nicely for the occasion”

#witcher 3 keira metz’s ‘if i’m to die i should look smashing for the occassion’ should really go to book regis i think that’s canon for him #also my headcanon would be that he looses his hair and takes his glasses off #kind of like in a movie where a nerd girl has a glow up and walks down the staircase at the end with her glasses off and hair down #and the boy she’s dating is at the bottom of the stairs like ‘wow… i didn’t know …’ #except the boy in this situation is geralt #however it’s less of a cute thing of ‘haha where’d the cute nerdy girl go’ and more of like. um. where is the kind barber surgeon i know #because if you exist quietly and sense the night around you and pay close attention to the moonlight #there are some kind of powerful unknown dark energies brewing and swirling around their group now like fog #he laughs and smiles and he does not purse his lips. and his hair is becoming tangled in the wind #and geralt’s like. who the fuck did i bring to stygga castle. lmao #angouleme: yesss slay uncle | regis: [nods head solemnly] we certainly are | angouleme: noooo like SLAYYYY 🔥🔥🔥 #bruh your drip is straight fire 🔥💯 #the witcher books #txt #emiel regis #regis #book: lady of the lake #headcanons

Freij

Freije Known for their fringed ears, thick dark hair, and natural resistance the frigid temperatures of the north. Freije seals take on a white or pale-blue hue, contrasting against their dark skin. Typically asymmetrical and unique to each individual, they have been widely (and fittingly) remarked as resembling snowflakes and frost, consisting of radial pattern of crystal-like markings.

Matriar The military and naval prowess of Freij is recognized across Elothia, and its Matriar reflects that. As Leader and Admiral, She dons the military vestments of the region, although ornamented and embroidered to indicated Her regal station. She also carries on Her person, just as the officers under Her, a dagger and sabre. Typically these would be highly decorated commissioned works, much like Her chokha and kalpak. However the current Matriar has forgone the tradition, preferring to don and wield the standard arms of her men. As Impero recently saw a Patris leave the throne, Freij is likely to see one on theirs in the coming centuries as the current Matriar has only one son and seemingly no interest in bearing another child.

Czars State officials and Generals to Her Majesty. Much like the Matriar, Czars are outfitted in military garb and keep a dagger and sabre on their person. While still decorated to denote them as officers of import, it is not to the level of the Matriar.

Citizens Despite the high tolerance to the northern climate that they have become known for, Freije are born incredibly susceptible to the cold. Newborns are heavily swaddled in thick furs and kept indoors for the most of their first year. Even when younglings are finally able to be brought outdoors, they do so thoroughly bundled up, almost comically, in several layers of thick clothing and furs.

It's not until adolescense that the Freije's cold tolerance truly begin to build up. They begin to strip away their heavy coats, scarves and furs, and many, many, layers as the years proceed, and by their first century the typical Freije can brush off the low temperatures with far lighter apparel. To the outsider experiencing the bite of Freij's Spring chill for the first time, they may even look underdressed.

In opposition to this are the region's wealthier merchants, barons, and city officials. Setting themselves up at higher altitudes, far above the crowded docks and fish markets, even their natural resistance isn't quite enough to keep out the colder mountain winds. As a result, upper class Draken remain relatively bundled up well after maturing - a fact that's earned the ridicule of many common folk, thinking it make them look childish.

"Atmaran, Hindoo of Peshawar"

Coloured lithograph based on the work of James Rattray

"Atmaran, Hindoo of Peshawar" is the title of a coloured lithograph made by E. Walker (d. 1882), based on the work of James Rattray (1818-1854), who was based in Afghanistan during the First Anglo-Afghan war (1838-1842). Atmaram was a Hindu from Peshawar in modern northern Pakistan, who had become the 'minister' of a local Muslim and Uzbek ruler in northern Afghanistan, Mohammed Murad Beg of Kunduz.

The “Dewan Begi, Atma Ram”, was already a very powerful position when the British veterinary and explorer, William Moorcroft, visited northern Afghanistan in 1824. Another British explorer, Alexander Burnes, stayed with him in 1832, while on his way to Bukhara. When Burnes and his entourage left Kunduz and said goodbye to Atmaram, he "sent a khillut, or dress of honour…" Burnes tells that all of the affairs of Murad Beg were managed by Atmaram. He was a Hindu of low origin, a shopkeeper from Peshawar. The artist Rattray tells about Atmaram that he was “a sly-looking old fellow, countenance beaming with cunning and intellectual fire", and that he "never betrayed his master's trust".

He is wearing a beautiful turban of dark red material wound around a kalpak (a pointed cap particular to the Uzbeks), a magnificently gold thread embroidered mantle of the choga style, possibly with appliqué; a gown and a shirt underneath. The gown may be made of ikat. He has shoes or leather boots with high pointed heels and a single line of large white stitches on the heel, adding a decorative element. Behind him hangs his Indian style sword and a decorated shield. There is also a belt with various pouches attached, with embroidered flaps.

Interesting are the red lines painted on the man’s face. By birth this man was Hindu, and he apparently retained the markings of his caste, although at the same time wearing a turban and a kamarband, among the Uzbek at that time normally reserved for Muslims. Atmaram is sitting on the roof of a house, looking down into the courtyard, made pleasant by a pond and tree. The house may be his own. If so, this was perhaps the place where Alexander Burnes and his following resided when they were en route to Bukhara.

1944 Irkçılık ve Turancılık davasından yargılananlar arasında Türkeş'de bulunuyordu.Sırf Türkçü ve Turancı olduklarından ötürü çeşitli işkencelere maruz kalan Türkçüler davalarından asla taviz vermedi.Davasından asla vazgeçmiyordu fakat Türkçü görünenler davasından çoktan vazgeçmişti.Atsız,Nejdet Sançar,Reha Oğuz Türkkan gibi isimler bu suçla yargılanmaktan gurur duyacağını belirtirken Türkeş ise pişman olduğunu söylemişti.

O gün şehir merkezi çok hareketliydi, mavi gömlek giyen 9 genç motorgiblet ile kenti turluyordu.9 motorgiblet Alparslan Türkeş'in 9 ışık görüşünü belirtiyordu.Motorgibletli gençler gerekli ilgiyi topladıktan sonra kent merkezine geldiler.Burada 16 tam bağımsız Türk devletlerinin bayraklarını taşıyan 16 genç ile selamlaştılar.Alana gelen mehter takımı ara vermeden büyük bir coşkuyla çalmaya başladı kalabalık giderek artıyordu.Alparslan Türkeş ve parti yöneticilerinin gelmesiyle yürüyüşe geçildi.Askeri bir disiplin altında yürüyenlerin istikameti milliyetçi hareketin en büyük tarihsel dönüşümünün yaşanacağı kurultay salonuydu.Şehir merkezinden gelenleri kongre salonunda bir o kadar kişi daha karşıladı.Bu grup Türkeş'e karşı mesafeliydi.Liderleri Irkçı-Turancı Hüseyin Nihal Atsız'dı.Tanrı Türkü Korusun pankartı altında toplanmışlardı.Orta Asya nostaljisini canlandırmak isteyen bu gençler arasında paganist simgeler modaydı bu nedenle hemen hemen hepsi kalpak giyiyordu.Sarkık bıyıkları ve yakalarında bozkurt rozetleri vardı.Eski Türklerin kurtarılıp yeniden inşa edilecek Turan'a inanıyorlardı.Atsız'dılar, Göktürk'lerde henüz kamusal görev yerine getirmemiş gençlere özel isim verilmezdi, onlar kendilerine Atsız derlerdi, bu yüzden Nihal Atsız kendine Atsız soyadını koymuştur.

Karşılıklı sloganlar altında kongre başladı.Türkeş ve subay arkadaşları her ne kadar Cumhuriyetçi,Laik ve Türkçü olsada oy alabilmek için islam ideolojisini seçmişlerdi.Siyasi alanlarda islam'ın çok önemli olduğunu düşündüler.Bu değişim sadece parti programları ile sınırlı değildi.Hareketin simgeleri ve sembolleri bile değişmişti.işte Adana kongresi bu amaçla toplanmıştı.Adana'da toplanılmıştı çünkü istanbul ve Ankara'da bu değişime karşı çıkacak binlerce Türkçü vardı.2 gün süren Adana kongresinde büyük tartışmalar, büyük kavgalar ve ayrışmalar yaşandı.Kongre başkanı Orhan Kaleli bile divandan istifa etmişti.Türkçülerin simgesi Tanrı Dağı'nın yanına islam'ın simgesi Hira Dağı eklenmişti.Zamanla Tanrı Türkü Korusun pankartı yerine Kanımız Aksada Zafer islam'ın pankartı geçmişti.Türkçü gruplar bu değişimlere Türkler araplaştırılmak isteniyor şeklinde tepki veriyordu.Nihal Atsız ekibi kongrede direk Türkeş'i hedef aldı.

Aslında Türkeş daha Kuleli Askeri lisesindeyken Atsız ile tanışıyordu.Atsız onun Milliyetçilik dersi hocasıydı.Şimdi ikisi tekrar karşı karşıyaydılar.Sonuçta Nihal Atsız ekibi kongreyi kaybetti.Türkçüler ellerinde ki parti kimliklerini kürsüye fırlatarak oradan ayrıldı.

Nihal Atsız gazeticelere şu açıklamayı yaptı: ''MHP'de Allah Tanrı'yı kovdu.Bozkurt sembolü yerini üç hilale bıraktı.Bozkurtlar Ülkücülere dönüştürüldü.Türkçü yerine Milliyetçi sıfatı tercih edildi.Türkçüler derneği lağvedildi.Milliyetçiler derneği kuruldu.MHP artık kendine yeni bir yol çizmişti.Bu yolda Şamanist saydığı Türkçülere ihtiyacı yoktu çünkü Bozkurtlar Şamanist geleneklerini unutturmamak istiyordu.''

Türkeş Milliyetçileri otobüslere bindirip Adıyaman'da ki Nakşibendi Menzil Şeyhinin elini öptürüyordu.Tarikatlar Türkeş'i ziyaret ediyor ona tüfek hediye ediyordu.Türkçü söylemler ile sadece üniversitedeki gençleri etkileyebileceğini anlayan Türkeş oy toplamak için islam ideolojisine yönelmişti.Atsız taviz vermedi, Atsız eğilmeyenlerden oldu.

the mishmash of clothing that geralt’s company wear during their journey is delightfully piecemeal. it’s like half-brokilonian, half-stolen from banditry, half-clothes which actually belong to them. ik i made this post as a joke but i actually really love the outfits of the company

geralt and dandelion are dressed in hooden grey elven mantels. later in chapter 4, they’ve exchanged them for homespun cloaks stolen from the guards, which they used to escape the camp. from though he still has his recognizable headband and medallion, geralt is seemingly almost incognito as he wears a leafy-patterned elven jerkin from the dryads. (and for even more brokilon influence, before zoltan gives him the dwarven sihill, he has a sword from col serrai).

speaking of dwarven fashions, dandelion receives a quilted jacket and a ‘swashbuckling’ marten-fur kalpak from zoltan and his company. he replaced his plum hat with the heron’s feather with this marten kalpak, so he as well is almost incognito. as far as accessories go, he has a brass-studded belt and the cruel-looking knife from the dwarves, too; although he immediately lost the knife. after the events of chapter 4 and in the middle of 5, his head is wounded and bandaged.

zoltan tells milva that she “looks too much like a squirrel” to approach humans alone — which is probably a result of her dress and her bow, of course. asides from her mahogany bow with whalebone risers, measuring 5 foot with a 24 inch draw length, shooting grey-fletched arrows… and one silver arrow… she’s likely dressed in some brokilonian or elven garb, owing to her work as an agent for brokilon. but she also wears “human” clothing, a blouse and woolen leggings. her belt is described, with a pouch and a hunting knife with a bone handle hanging off of it (and in the next book, she gives this knife to angoulême as a gift). perhaps most curiously, milva’s not mentioned to be wearing her iconic braid or plait during this book, rather her long hair is described as falling into geralt’s face when she leans over him in tense conversation in chapter 1, tossing her hair with a sudden movement when offended in chapter 5…

cahir is almost unrecognizable as nothing he wears betrays him as nilfgaardian, instead he’s dressed in a hauberk, leather tunic and cloak from the men who were transporting him. but this hauberk becomes ever-so iconic in its own right as it plays such a role in the fish soup… as a strainer.

regis, of course, dresses modestly and is perhaps the only one of the company dressed in his own clothes not signalling affiliation to a larger faction or taken from some roving banditry. black robes, something like an apron tied around the waist. when they meet him, he has a linen bag, but when they leave, he’s exchanged it for a leather one. and also, a walking stick, which is never mentioned again by the writing... he also has his nigh-iconic black, woolen cloak-cape, which he wraps himself up in…

and the horses! do not forget the horses. geralt’s elven roach, a bay mare who rides as if bitted by horseflies. the lazy and docile bay gelding pegasus, of course, remains dandelion’s steed. cahir rides on a chestnut colt, which he loses but later recovers. milva’s black horse, which she tells geralt not to touch in chapter 1, which also becomes the subject of debate in chapter 4. regis rides on a nilfgaardian bay near the end of the novel, by which point they’ve also obtained a riderless grey horse which carries their modest belongings.

these small little details are all just described so wonderfully across the course of the book, the picture is painted for you eventually, over time, your attention is rewarded with an intricate picture at the end…

#the witcher books #book: baptism of fire #c: geralt #c: regis #c: dandelion #c: milva #c: cahir #f: a hansa’s a hansa #txt #hanza #when people say: ‘well sapkowski didn’t describe what they’re wearing so an adaptation should just do whatever they want’ #that’s literally a false statement… it’s right there in the book 🤨 you just didn’t care about it enough to notice #also the way that the settings are painted—turlough. fen carn. the refugee camp. the island of fish soup in the yaruga. #literally in chapter 7 when they move out of the swamps to higher ground and their boots and legs dry out i get so emotionally moved by that #and they eat the barnacle goose milva shoots and cover it in clay and roast it but the seeds of anxiety still germinated!!!!!!! #baptism of fire #geralt of rivia #dandelion #milva barring #emiel regis #cahir aep ceallach #character descriptions in the books

Best Rate Taxi Service Throughout All of Noida

 Where is Noida located and what does it mean?

The New Okhla Industrial Development Area, also called Noida, is located not far from the border between Delhi and Uttar Pradesh. Greater recognition is given to Noida's opulent shopping complexes and tall skyscrapers. Delhi and Noida together are referred to as the National Capital Region, or Delhi-NCR. The NCR, which is primarily governed by Uttar Pradesh, is run by the Delhi State Government. This region is home to the biggest corporate buildings and best shopping malls in the nation. Among the most well-known landmarks in Noida are DLF Mall, The Great India Place, Gardens Galleria Mall, Modi Mall, Wave Mall, Atal Chowk, Buddha Smriti Park, Noida Stadium, DLF Cyber Hub, Logix Noida City Centre, GIP Cinema, and Buddha's Bowl.

Exploring Noida

Apart from shopping malls and enormous skyscrapers, some of the attractions in Noida are the Botanical Garden, the Okhla Bird Sanctuary, the Stupa 18 Art Gallery, and the Brahmaputra Market. The city's taxi services also provide inexpensive, cost-effective options that, combined with the surrounding greenery and sense of being in nature, can uplift your mood. This allows you to watch the Formula 1 Car Racing Championship at the Buddh International Circuit, where Indian competitor Narain Karthikeyan participated. It was the site of the most recent MotoGP motorcycle race.
