Racial Motifs 35 : Dro - m ' Athra Content . By Twilight Cantor Adara ' hai Somewhere , deep in the Dark Behind the World , there are grim forges and bent benches where Lost Cats arm and armor themselves . On those dire times when they appear among us , their outfitting is much alike , implying they are made to certain standards . This one shall sing the song of these standards below . Because all knowledge is useful , no ? If only to know what to stay away from . AXES Many times dro - m ' Athra weapons and armor show the " waning crescent " symbol ― waning because evil is strongest in the dark of the moons . Thus the Lost Cat axes show two waning crescents , one for Jode and one for Jone . But diminishing , yes ? BELTS Many tassets ! On the buckle of the dro - m ' Athra belt we see waning crescents lengthened into two long , curving fangs , often below a sort of " dark eye " sigil . Full meaning of latter is obscure , and perhaps that is for the best . Who would know all that Namiira knows ? BOOTS Dro - m ' Athra boots have enclosed toes , a curious exception to usual Khajiit i practice ; it brings to mind this ancient song : " One foote Jone , one foote Jode , Lost Cattes be most straungely toed . " Are the enclosed toes hiding some sort of hind - paw disfigurement ? BOWS The waning crescent motif is very pronounced on dro - m ' Athra bows , which feature two pairs of sickle moons , one pair on the face bracketing the grip , and another , smaller pair at the ends of the limbs . Such a bow may shoot more than mere arrows , alas . CHEST PIECES The cuirasses of dro - m ' Athra warriors have a central boss of double waning crescents , surrounded by the jagged patterns of what I call " blue claw marks , " the distinctive slashes of blue lightning so common in Lost Cat imagery . DAGGERS The dro - m ' Athra dagger is a short stabbing weapon , with a so - much - curved crossguard that must assist when parrying . Curiously , this means dagger has but a single " waning crescent moon , " where most Lost Cat weapons display two . Is missing moon symbolic of Ghost Moon ? This one does not know . GLOVES Gauntlets protect hands from blows , of course , but also it is cold , very cold in Dark Behind the World , so wear gloves . Fingertips are covered ― where are Khajiiti claws ? On forearm , blue claw marks , but on hands , no claws . Very disturbing . HELMETS Cat - face doubled , one atop another ― so eerie ! But dro - m ' Athra face is hidden , which is a Good Thing . Crowned with double waning crescent , yes . False ears , but teeth are real , or at least real sharp . No gorget ! LEG GREAVES Dro - m ' Athra greaves almost normal , mundane . Must guard lower limbs just like Top - of - World greaves , yes ? Darkening moons on shins , pointed down , emptying out all life . Sing me a song of shinbalds , turning ' round and walking away ! MACES With blows of mace , Lost Cats beat out rhythm of the Bent Dance . See , dro - m ' Athra mace head is shaped like shield , and yet dro - m ' Athra shield is not shaped like mace ! Who can sing the answer to this riddle ? Not this one , no . SHIELDS Double - waning - crescent shield , Jode to right , Jone to left , with gaps in moon - sickles for stab - stabbing from behind it . See the blue lightning ? Very dangerous : beware . SHOULDER ARMOR So clawsome , the pauldrons ! And laced with blue claw marks , yes . High collars help make up for lacking of gorget and aventail . Sharp and sharp : do not touch them , for they touch back . This one is quite serious . STAVES What a staff it is ! Two down - turned waning crescents emptying the head , while above is crescent Ghost Moon , rampant , ready to funnel forth spells of Destruction . No need to guess why Lost Cat Sorcerer is most feared dro - m ' Athra of all . No , not a bit . SWORDS Heavy at end , Lost Cat sword would be awkward wielding for any but muscle - cat dro - m ' Athra ! Weight of sword drives sharp - sharp edge through body and bone . Crosshilt is waning - double - crescent , but by now you guess this twice over . Avoid ! Evade ! Will you be wise , and heed Adara ' hai ? Who can say ? Var var var .
