The Karui's king is not who we thought he was!

With the recent discovery of the long lost helmet of the leader of the Karui,
a seemingly well known chapter of Wraeclast's history has to be rewritten entirely!

Latest research has proven that the legendary armor
that was worn by the leader of the Karui
has in fact never been in the possession of a man called Kaom.

Rather, the name of the actual owner
and hence the name of the Karui's true leader is...

Note the awing armoured mustache!

Actually I was just browsing for reference for 3D modeling a armor when I stumbled over this.

I couldn't resist so I gave it a quick paintover ;)





On a second note:
I would love to see GGG release the full resolution artworks for their uniques, as seen in the credits!

Shadow: That was fun
Just wow. Awesome catch, awesome photoshop. Well done, sir!

Btw, did GGG change anything but the belt?
The Kaom's artwork is mostly handpainted from what I can tell.

The lamellas are slightly wider and the bolts are placed differently.
So nope, it's not a plain copy.
Seeing what GGGs artists are capable off I doubt they would just plain copy anything.

But im certain the reference was set as a background and then painted over while sticking quite closely to the silhouette.
Maybe some parts of the reference were adjusted and directly used, which is common practice tho (e.g. in mattepaintings).
The lamellas on the chest plate seem to be taken directly from the reference.
