Hey everyone!
We hope you had a nice week! We had three questions in the forum this week, so here goes:
According to the Set 10 post, you said that the game will be maybe over a hundred years after the comic. Why such a great time lapse. Plus, after so much time, the story would still have any significance?
Not sure what "Set 10 post" is supposed to be, but yes, the story will definitely have an impact on the game! The game's setting, as well as a lot of its events, rely on events from this comic.
If the king is openly distrustful of the council (mages in general perhaps), does that mean that the position at the castle is only given to those as some sort of punishment, like traffic duty for cops on TV?
No, not at all! Just because the King is biased against mages, that does not mean their role is not important to the Kingdom or that they consider their position as mages to be a punishment of some sort. Becoming a mage is more of an honor and the King couldn't do anything about them without a proper reason.
Hey Aikonia, I was just wondering if there are any other races besides Orcs and Humans.
Hey there! The orc-like race in Aikonia are actually called "Bardans" but, yes, there are other races in Aikonia! We'll be introducing more soon, and you'll definitely see more of them in the upcoming game! :)
And that's all for this week! We love answering questions, so keep them coming!
Thank you all and have a nice week!

Well, that's a lot of purple-blue blood there. Suits these stains of red blood well. Nice piece of art that you're wearing, soldier. Posted on September 17th, 2012 at 12:46AM ReplyForks said:

Why talk in runes when you can just slice it in half with a piece of sharp metal? Posted on September 17th, 2012 at 02:34AM ReplyA Non-Ymous replied:

Re: the questions in the blurb - you appear to be fighting a losing battle trying to get people to call them Bardans rather than orcs, heh? :P Posted on September 17th, 2012 at 03:53AM ReplyAndrew-David replied:
Yeah, when coming up with that race, I probably shouldn't have went with "They look like orcs" as a description.It's ok though =P Posted on September 17th, 2012 at 11:01AM

Uhmm the tank was late... ah well better late than never, the nuker was not intended for the front lines. Somebody issue a spell book in common tongue, I'm not trained enough to read the runes. Just joking. LOL Posted on September 17th, 2012 at 10:27AM ReplySheikah said:

if a sword can take down a giant unknown alternate-dimensional green wolf-beast, easier than magic, why is magic seemingly valued and/or feared in this world more than cold steel? Posted on September 17th, 2012 at 12:35PM ReplyAnnie Moose replied:
Because a sword is only good for cutting stuff, while magic undoubtedly has many applications. Posted on September 17th, 2012 at 01:41PMOrange Superstar replied:
Magic dude whatshisface seemed to be doing fearily well aginst most of them. Knight guy just killed the one.Remember that giant wolf from the start of the comic? There you go. Posted on September 17th, 2012 at 05:40PM

You seem to be forgetting that, unlike most other things in the world of Aikonia, those demons are composed of magic. Using magic against creatures composed of it doesn't sound like the most effective use to me. Posted on September 17th, 2012 at 09:46PMFaenhir replied:
So you're saying Mar was impaled with magic? Looked like a crystal tree branch to me. I don't think eveything from the magic plane is made of magic, but it certainly seems to have a greater affinity. Remember when the hounds got set on the students? Yeah, like anyone could forget that. None of them seemed to be affected much by the magic, even with Mar (a council member) helping out. Cyril seems to be having an easier time killing them, maybe because in his description it mentions an affinity for animals. Maybe that led him to be more effective against beasts, and that was why the council had him hunt down the "pest problem" in the first place?Sorry, kinda ranting here. I blame the comic for being so good. Posted on September 18th, 2012 at 12:25AM

Oh. Wow. No, you're not ranting......I think this is the bit where, if you were Sherlock Holmes, you would say Elementary my dear Watson. And Watson is like, WTF.
Except that here I get everything you said and think you have amazing deductive superpowers. Brilliant. Posted on September 18th, 2012 at 02:18PM

Fun fact: If a man who just decapitated a monster asks you is you're one of the good guys, say yes. Posted on September 20th, 2012 at 10:17AM ReplyJamie said:
The runes seem to be either Futhark or Cirth (presence of ᚲ and ᚺ). Doesn't look like anything meaningful when read in English though, and I don't recognise the one that resembles a "b". Hmm. Posted on September 20th, 2012 at 11:58AM ReplyNintenfan81 said:
Well first off, I really, really like the comic. It's a very interesting story you're telling here.Unfortunately I'm commenting with some criticism about the site, but I assure you it's completely without internet-hate. You see, the RSS feed is rather clunky. Most feeds have the newest update appear at the top, and slowly remove the older ones as more gets put up. Aikonia instead has the newest one appear at the bottom, making it very tedious to check the comic.
I hate to be the guy to complain, but I really do like the comic. It's just a bit inconvenient to access it. Posted on September 23rd, 2012 at 12:29AM Reply

My Google Reader RSS got spammed for 126 updates from this one update o.oNot much of a problem for me though. I just have to press "Mark all read" on this comic's RSS. Posted on September 23rd, 2012 at 10:25PM Reply

That's because they updated the RSS feed so that people using the Firefox built-in reader/bookmark monstrosity could access new pages easier. RSS reader vomit is an unfortunate side effect. Posted on September 24th, 2012 at 03:40AMSollux said:
Hey, is that... RovasIras? OR Old Hungarian? It looks rather similar, with the occasional different symbol in there Posted on October 17th, 2012 at 01:00AM Reply
