Due to family medical issues, Requiem is on indefinite hiatus.
An elderly family member of ours took a bad fall on Labor Day night, and we’ve been dealing with the aftermath ever since. Hopefully, things will get sorted out, but as of right now, doing a daily comic is not something my schedule can allow.
Sorry to have this happen, but as everyone knows, real life comes first….and at least we don’t have too many running storylines on the backburner.
Dana McAllen is a member of the urban exploration association that is currently investigating remnants of the worlds previous civilization. She initially made her debut in the Tunnelrunners side comic. She has been Ian's closest friend since early childhood, and is still his closest confidant.
Julia Wells, significant other of Ian Caladharas. Julia co runs the Wells Hotel in Erech’s Clocktower District. For those people who have rpg’d in this world: The Wells Hotel is now known as Cytheron’s. Julia and Ian tied the knot in the City of Greyrest in the Crossing Territories.
Interesting that you chose that name, Ahriman. The personification of evil in the ancient Persian religion of Zorastrianism. Which did have some influence on mystical Judaism of which Rebbe Alter is obviously a participant.
I try to keep all of this a historically accurate as I can, though I do take a few liberties with dates here and there. 🙂
I was thinking of Zurvanism here, and the whole concept of ‘twin spirits’ Ahura Mazda and Angra Mainyu. The wikipedia page at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angra_Mainyu does a pretty good job with it.
Ah, the early branch of Zorastrianism in which the two you mentioned are the twin sons of ‘Time’. Their father promises to give whoever is born first sovereignty over creation so Ahriman rips open the womb to be born first and grab the birthright.
A rougue Tulpa?
