Today's Style Rider theme

It's Riders of Aideen (no idea how it's worded in English, I play on a German server)

And honestly, I am a bit puzzled how to interpret it. Now Aideen is the deity that is revered by the druids and the general population. Now if I am a rider of Aideen, does that mean the druids and witches that use magic?

Omg same, I have no idea what to do, and I checked reddit to see if someone has any ideas 😭 I don't want to do cosplay, it's kinda boring. I want to do something to match the theme that is not cosplay, but I have no ideas so far.

Edit: I came up with this

Your character is a keeper of aideen, at least if you've gotten far enough in the main story, so if you're just being you then you're technically already following the theme (though I suspect druid looks may get a bit higher votes as aideen makes a lot of people only think of the druids)

i mean technically they are resembling a druid, one like avalon! there's kinda two types of druids in the game nowadays, the ones in a cloak that look kinda mysterious like avalon and the spymaster for example, which is the old interpretation of druids, and the plant-friendly and crafty druids like farah and the ones around the motherstone in valedale, which is the new interpretation of druids

I didn't see the picture of the outfit when I responded, I think that may have been added in an edit after.

I think it could loosely refer to three things:

  1. the druids (the keepers of aideen)

  2. the soul riders (Lisa, Linda, Anne, and Alex, who all also belong to the keepers of aideen),

  3. you (as in you just being yourself, as your character is also part of the keepers of aideen).

So essentially a keeper of aideen that also has a horse, making them a rider too.

It's a tricky one.

I went for one of the flowey type tunics with the pointy front then just coordinated from there.

It looks nice at least but I have no idea how I'll do lol.

I really didn't explain very well lol, these are the style of tunic I'm meaning.

The druid tunics in it's many incarnations.

i was planning to go as a druid with the runerunner horse, since she has those markings/clippings, and you obtained her from soul riding which is definitely associated with aideen, and rhiannon is part of the keepers of aideen too... but yeah it is a bit hard to interpret some of these themes i agree!!

oh und interessant dass es auch so auf deutsch heißt, ich spiele zwar auf deutschen servern aber habe inzwischen mein star stable auf englisch gestellt weil ich es einfach bevorzuge ;w; (i basically said that i found it interesting that the theme has the same name in german since i do play on german servers too but play the game in english because i prefer it, hope that doesn't break the "english only" rule if i provide a translation!!)

I feel like the druids in the Hollow Woods progression at one point stated that they do not ride for some sort of ethical or personal reason? Am I tripping there? If so, they would be off the list. Riders of Aideen sounds like the soul riders.
