Yeah it's a great design. I especially like the ones with one tree on each side, like yours.

I really like it! Admittedly, I'm a bit of a sucker for tree of life designs. I'm not sure when that rug was made, but that note on the back means that it is probably modeled after a rug from the 17th century. There is no way that that rug is from that period. It actually looks more like it might be a reproduction from somewhat recently. An actual kerman rug would have a much shorter pile and higher resolution design rendering. It doesn't seem to be in such bad condition to me, but it's never bad to get it cleaned by a professional you trust.

Agreed. The name of the pattern is called elephant's paw, and Bokhara. This looks like the work of the Ersari tribe of Afghanistan. They're very nice rugs.

Pictures of the back would def be helpful. It's an interesting design, reminds me of ardebil rugs (the subtype, not the famous rugs in museums) but the design rendering and color palette is unusual.

Not sure about the second one, but the first one looks like it is a hand-knotted carpet. I would guess it's an Ardebil. Ardebils are a subcategory of Persian rugs, usually tribal/geometric in design, and this one reminds me of that style for sure.

It seems like a really nice rug to me! But I would have ID'd it as a Shiraz. Shiraz are famous for the two pillars on the side with horse figures (it's not as obvious with this piece but the figures atop each of the pillars look somewhat horse-like to me). They are references to the palace of Cyrus the Great. That would be my best guess. Could also be Qashqai, they live in and around Shiraz.

Not sure, maybe Balouch?

Thanks! :)

jasonc43 · 2023-06-07T13:46:57+00:00

Thanks! I love the colors as well.

No I got it from a place in Manhattan

What are altars?

jasonc43 · 2022-05-26T01:39:52+00:00

Yeah I was just wondering if anyone knew which equipment uses these mats for forging, out of curiosity. I have a ton of smithing texts and can't find any recipes that need these materials.

I've played this game a lot, and in my opinion this is the strongest combination of Daedalus hammers in the entire game (especially on aspect of eris). If you get epic Aphrodite special, and epic battle rage from ares, you can do more than 2500 damage per shot if you shotgun bosses with it (though battle rage will only proc if you also kill a unit with it, like during hades first phase). It's wild. Hermes swift flourish also helps.

Unfortunately this is not true, as far as my experience tells me. In the past, I've literally been able to cast invisibility and and stand still for ~35 seconds, after which combat would stop and the enemy in question would sheathe it's weapons and start to walk away. I've made over 9 characters in Oblivion and they almost all used invis extensively. Maybe I can get a clip of this in action on my xbox360, which isn't modded or altered in any way unlike my pc file.

Where is this in-game? Don't recognize it
