Hello everyone!
Nothing much to talk about this week. We're pretty much done with the wallpapers, just doing some last minute changes, but until then, keep an eye on our Facebook page and Twitter stream! Also, we're working on Project:Velyria, we're hoping to have the private beta by April 2011, so check it out!
And that is all, Happy Holidays! :D

Geez... This comic keeps getting better and better! Though first of all, when he's saying "I shoulder some of the blame" it's clear to the people that he abducted him and had some woman get possessed by an evil/overpowering force to kill him eventually, right?Next, I'm thinking he's still alive. No way in hell they make a Cast page for him just to get killed. (Awaits Irony to swoop in for the kill) Although I'm inferring that the discovery from part of our mage at the start may have to do with this. If it's true, it's possible the magic system is somehow related to another dimension/plane, therefore magical power comes from there, or at least is depends on that. It's possible that then the human realm and the magical realm have possibly grown closer somehow, which explains the odd appearances of vanishing monsters and perhaps Solaris' little experiment.
Though it's purely conjecture. I'm just thinking this here. Posted on December 20th, 2010 at 01:58AM Reply

wow O_oYou just analyzed the entire comic (and Perhaps the main idea of the story) in a few paragraphs
Man, is it me or is it hard to find smart people like you on the web? Posted on December 24th, 2010 at 10:13AM
Brian replied:
Oh, I'm flattered. But honestly, I'm really just assuming. After playing a large number of RPG's and written down many ideas which I never got to implement because it seemed too "stale" I kinda have many understandings of magic. Sometimes it's summoning powers from other places, sometimes that power is developed inside the mage himself, etc.But when you think about it makes sense. Monsters showing up when they weren't there before = plane of magic growing closer. They're probably from that plane anyway so... As the first comic states, a barrier separates them. This barrier perhaps, is weakening. This causes not only monsters to appear, but a vaster area of magic to explore, since the barrier is waning/shrinking/opening.
Since mages depend on breaching the barrier to draw out power, it's possible it's now easier to reach in deeper, for a larger supply of magic power. This is assuming, the monsters come from the plane of magic. Though I can understand if this is all gibberish to you, since the comic's release is sorta slow so you can only absorb so much info before dropping it for another page...
Crap, I'm rambling again... Posted on December 25th, 2010 at 04:03PM
Brian replied:
I forgot to mention...Since it's dangerous to breach that barrier as the first page implies, Syd's death is perhaps a consequence of this. Although I still don't have a good comprehension of the kind of Magics Solaris just used back there. Posted on December 25th, 2010 at 04:05PM

That seems like a fair assumption. Who knows, the writers may be going, "Crap! He knows to much!" D: Posted on December 25th, 2010 at 05:18PMBrian replied:
Maybe... Or I'm just way off. I dunno.Either way, when this comic is over... I called it.
Remember that.

you know, I actually got that! very good job; as Pocket-Rocket claimed, the writers are most likely going "He knows too much!". though it stinks, Solaris practically MURDERED Syd.just curious, have you played Kingdom Hearts? Posted on December 28th, 2010 at 09:29PM

Okay,did he really just admit that they killed him in an experiment to more "fully understand" magic?That's cold.Solaris,I hope you get your face lightning'ed off! Posted on December 20th, 2010 at 10:42AM ReplyMandy replied:
So, that means Solaris is a Nazi? They did the same thing, really. W/o the magic of course. Posted on December 20th, 2010 at 11:53AMNope replied:
They're making it sound like he did a reckless experiment (Cause he's a kid, kids do that) and died in an explosion or accident or something. Posted on December 20th, 2010 at 08:52PMQjay said:

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOZ! He can't really be dead can he? I mean,he has a cast page and everything.......... Also if he dies I will be upset, so he can't really be dead Posted on December 20th, 2010 at 12:46PM ReplyPortrayal said:
I've been keeping up with this and it doesn't make sense, what the hell happened in the last two panels was it some sort of dark ritual or something? Posted on December 20th, 2010 at 01:42PM ReplyTim replied:
We are trying to build it up a bit - keep watching and we'll do our best to make things clear over the course of the story. Posted on December 20th, 2010 at 01:58PMspudwalt said:
Boy, that was fast. Hopefully he isn't actually dead...Solaris is also a colossal jerkwad. Just saying. Posted on December 20th, 2010 at 02:15PM Reply

so something seems off, because after Syd got LIGHTNINGED to death, wouldn't his body be burnt, or at least show some sign of damage? or did they fix him up for his *funeral*? and Ariel's hair is back to normal. Posted on December 20th, 2010 at 04:12PM ReplyTim replied:
Mortus Cosmetica is one of the many schools of magic taught by council. Posted on December 20th, 2010 at 04:21PMBrian replied:
Well, magic can be odd. It's possible he wasn't deep fried or cooked medium-rare, but simply damaged in another sense, not physically.I think you understand... On that note, I'm really wondering how far this is going... Posted on December 20th, 2010 at 04:27PM

I think he's dead. Only a storyline as bold as this one would kill off a main character in the first 20 pages. That's what makes it so epic.Also, that last word bubble is so cold-hearted, so... Solaris. Posted on December 20th, 2010 at 04:55PM Reply

This is getting so epic! At first is was one of those things I randomly check in on with a passing interest, but now I avidly await the newest pages! This is supposed to be the prequel to a game right? if so I can't wait for that game!Also, I share the belief that he isn't dead. Or at least not permanently.

Ariel is evil. I dunno, I'm just not getting a good vibe from her. In fact, Callisto seems to be the only not-evil council member. Oh and Mar. She's gonna end up being good, JUST WATCH. Posted on December 20th, 2010 at 08:11PM Replyeyes said:

With the look Ariel's giving, she's definitely still possessed. But yeah, the main question now is whether or not Syd is truly dead. And I'm wondering if they brushed off his death as an error during and experiment, or if more of the council than we think is corrupted. Posted on December 20th, 2010 at 11:18PM ReplyallebirA said:

Wow talk about mixed emotions there first she kisses him then kills him. the moral (i guess) is that man will never know what women realy want Posted on December 21st, 2010 at 08:30PM ReplyHaze replied:
If anything, she got possessed and kissed him one last time or something. So... You're being completely off topic and kinda sexist, too. Do you really think she'd WANT to kill him? Posted on December 22nd, 2010 at 07:09AMdragonman979 replied:
