Epilogue p20

I know y'all jonesing for the Queen's reveal, but this is now our very last Elka and Toma scene ever, so pretend you love them before they take their leave :)

Epilogue page 19

Ufal's not wrong, but the inak have never had any use for First Materials, nor do they have any use for the ruined city on top of the falls. They can go repopulate the sites that used to belong to them, like the shrine that Rahm Ripa kinda sorta stole and turned into his workshop.

It's a start, and it gives an option t...

Epilogue page 18

So many people thought there'd be a reveal on the next page but I just didn't have the heart to correct them :3 Let the lady work her showmanship, she's been through a lot to get to this moment.

Epilogue page16

Elka is a little frosty towards him to start. For a minute there she thought he hadn't learned a damn thing and was running away from Emne again. Even if it's legal, apparently, it's a bad look.

But there's more to it than that. You don't go through what he went through, lose your right arm, and bounce back into the her...

Epilogue page15

Chea's off to see grandma, grandpa, and the goats, in case anyone is wondering why she's so smiley. She's also got her dad back of course, but... GOAT TRIP! Additionally, that is the old badge from the very first chapter, if you didn't recognise it. Elka had it shined up and personalized for her.

Okay! C&Ping the an...

Epilogue p14

I'm usually pretty indifferent about the idea of having pymary ability but this - I'd relish the chance to do this. Just insert a wedge into a crowd and part them like the Red Sea.

Okay, so. Announcement. I was instructed not to be super specific yet, but after many years of shying away from the idea I've finally signed...

Epilogue p13

Chancellor Ufal is so very diplomatic, but even he couldn't help reminding her Majesty that much of this was her own doing. But it was Roger's doing too, and Mallory's. And her predecessor. She's the last woman standing though - the final cistern at the bottom of a cascading cataract of shit. And she's gotta eat it.

Bi...

Epilogue p11&12

Two pages today! Little mean to Emne here, but Queen Sonorie lays a piece of blame on her for her laziness, her selfishness, and her lack of concern for the power her family wields. We won't see Emne again, but I think she's absolutely learned a lesson~

Epilogue p10

Hard to hope you make it home alive, rando noble people, when you're mean to the most based of all the two-toes.

We'll do a double update on Monday, it's a one-two punch.

Epilogue p09

Laying out this little conversation was great fun. Sonorie back there in the shadows, expression cloaked, doing all the new high priestess' speaking for her. Queen Sonorie has spent a lot of her reign being led around by the plots of others. They're all dead now, so it's up to her to put a bow on all this, and she's committed...

Epilogue p08

Who's gettin' the Salem treatment, readers. It's someone you know. Put your money down now o_o

Epilogue p07

So long, Petr. Have a good life.

Let's go visit her Majesty next with Ufal.

Epilogue p06

I think it's charming that the first person Emne thought to go to in order to find Emil, is his lieutenant. I never know what the broad reader opinion is on Emil's domestic concerns but the way they contrast with a large bird woman trying to rewrite reality and a girl with a tail finding out she has super powers always deligh...

Epilogue p05

If you remember Petr, you are a True Unsounded Scholar. Elka's just kidding about feeling up her new lieutenant of course. They probably won't be very hot anyway.

Lemuel & Miki

Vile criminals.

Epilogue p04

'Fraid General Bell isn't being fondly remembered. This is a good page to see in high res though. Some things to note: Lots of people. City is still far from completely rebuilt. There's a memorial space around the flayed bones of one of the attacking vliegeng. Common people do not get the same fancy spread as the nobles. Twin...

Epilogue p03

I really enjoy drawing all the fancy pymaric food with its neon colours. Would you eat the blue rolls stuffed with crab, the slices of carved blue mutton, and a salad of lime green cucumbers, magenta spinach, and grey pig cheese?

This is only for the nobles though. You'll see the spread being fed to the crowd outside is...

Epilogue p01&02

Did you think I'd go more than a page or two without a goofy nekkid joke just because of a major character death? Mathis would have wanted it this way.

This epilogue is pretty breezy and quick moving; should run about thirty pages. Settles some political questions and gets us set right up for the next book. Speaking of....

Date Change

Changed next update day from the 14th to the 12th since I'm making good time. One week!

18-261

While some of the aftermath of Vienne's death has been talked about in side fiction, I never really got to show it properly in the comic, so that opportunity was relished here. There's something so forlorn about Mathis sitting there in the dirt getting yelled at.

Important: I want to do the final chapter update in a bi...

18-260

I'm afraid no one made Vienne do anything. The woman knew pymary. You pop her once, you get a warning scratch. You pop her twice, and one of you isn't leaving the room alive. So that was some very bad advice that Mathis acted on.

18-259

Lies it is, then.

Quigley's never actually seen the Crescian play - it's all propaganda and he loathes it - but he has a pretty good idea how it goes. He can bullshit, if he must. Maybe the wretched zombie would even be proud of him. The Sharte certainly would be.

18-258

C'mon, Mathis, they've been throwing this trash at you all night. It only works if you let it!

18-257

Quigley's called on Swarm's smaller bugs a few times, but he hasn't summoned its giganto form since his fight with Duane. Mostly because it's expensive in terms of agitation. Mind that khert-fire, Quigs, being a Plat is only going to get you so far.

18-256

Better to let them pick on the Plats than to invite their fangs into your neck, kiddo. Jivi's been a lot better at hiding his baggage than the rest of the cast, but he's not gonna get away just flying with one carry-on. At least not forever.

18-255

Corpses pretty much always wear out before their masks do. When that's the case, a plod handler trots their stinky labourer down to the nearest plod facility, and the mask is cleaned and fitted on a new body. We saw a whole wall of coolers with prepared bodies in it when Jivi and Quigley first breached this nasty hellhole ear...

18-254

Get 'em, Mathis!

I want to do the last chapter update in a really big chunk, so I'm going to be frugal with pages leading up to it. I might possibly have to skip a few updates before, to make it work. We'll see, I'll let you know.

This is our ending sequence though, readers, prepare.
