Do you have any design drawings of Sturn and Drang, or is it up to us to fill in the blanks with our imagination?

(just asking. No reason.)

My ears perked up at this, too!

I don't, really, other than the various strips. Here's their first appearance (http://www.fightcastorevade.net/d/20030528.html), in a picture, and then they show up in the sequence of strips beginning here ().

I don't know why that second link didn't work, but here it is:

WOW. This storyline has been going on for almost a YEAR now?

It sure doesn't seem like it. With some comics, I have trouble keeping track of the last couple of weeks -- I have no such trouble with the Tale of the Swords of Fehris Defender. I can play back all of the aslient plot points in my mind.

Wow, again. Kudos for Clarity In Storytelling.

Yeah, I'm surprised myself at how long it's been going on. I credit that to a much improved sense of pacing in this story. Things get told as they need to get told, and for as long as it takes for those things to get told. I've resisted abridging or condensing anything merely for the sake of shortening the duration, and I think it's worked well.

Of course, I privately refer to this storyline as The Storyline That Will Not End, but that's just me.

The pacing is indeed impressive. The fight scene alone has been going on for almost six months, yet it's never dragged. I've never once thought, "yeah, yeah, same damned fight, Get On With It Already."

Please note that ALAN MOORE HIMSELF can't pull that trick off.

Thank you!

I'm approaching Freefall (http://freefall.purrsia.com/)-type time dilation, though, aren't I? ;)

Ooooh..... Shiny!

That's great, Batty! I love the runes in the blade! I can't wait to see Drang, as well!

magic runes.

that's what it says. "Magic Runes" in Anglo-Saxon Runes

Drag is a little smaller and less ornate

That is, of course, perfect.

What I need now is your map of the area. I know I have a copy here somewhere but I'm buggered if I can find it on my hdd

Well, the current map is available in the "Guide" section on the site, but hold off, as I've redrawn the map entirely to make it larger, and a self-contained continent. I'll see if I can get you something soon.

And this is great stuff, Batty! Thanks!
