Miscellaneous: Bard Skyshrine Armor - Name / Stats

[Ennewi]

After happening upon a random comment on Allakhazam, it looks somewhat likely that the Skyshrine armor for Bards was originally called Highsun armor.
From what I've read, the armor pieces were changed to include the Vah Shir race and at that point the name was also changed to Twilight.

Just being nosey, but why did they change the name? Were there other forces at work here or did they just not like the name?

Prolly had something to do with the fact that it didnt list Vah on the highsun, so they renamed it Twilight and added Vah shir.

...lists both Twilight and Highsun armor pieces, but the links no longer work for the latter as they were likely changed from classic.

It seems Highsun was the pre-Luclin version of Twilight armor? If anyone else remembers specifics or has more concrete information, please add below.
Hoping this means no more armor that reminds people of those crap vampire movies.
