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.
Thorondor “Ian” Caladharas is the 18 year old heir to one of the first of the Merchant Houses. An intelligent, independent teenager; Ian has a tendency towards irreverence and and frustration. In all honesty, he doesn’t care what his grandfather says he is heir to, he just wants to have a normal life. Or at least as normal a one as possible. (As my skills improved I made some revamps to this characters appearance to reflect aging and such as well. The top picture is how he is currently modeled. )
This lady (who chooses to remain nameless) is professional assassin who hails from the city of Naglorond. She does most of her work for private citizens since the end of the House Wars, where she was responsible for the deaths of a number of House personnel.
The handle she is currently using is “Targeter” All that is known about her so far is that she was a child prostitute in Naglorond who killed her way out of the business , and decided to never put her fate in the hands of another ever again.
The Dweller. Prophet. Statistician. Sometimes madman. It is unclear, even to himself, whether he is seeing the future or calculating probabilities better than the fastest computer in existence. Needless to say, The Dweller knows things, often before they happen.
Don’t think it is small just a distance perspective thing, wonder if it might be our missing demented Taisoeach? Don’t think Ian killed him in the encounter they had about a year ago. Remember back when Calliel appeared to him as an angle and he was trying to duplicate her powers having infected himself with the Kronos Strain.
If you look back, the winged figure wasn’t on top of the box in previous strips. There is also one angle where Calliel is talking with the Dweller where you see a shadow back near the box that doesn’t fit. I’m also curious about the circle of light on the left side of the first panel. Looks suspiciously like some type of portal to me.
Okay, the circle of light has been there all along. Look at Dec 21, 22, 23 to see what I mean about the sarcophagus not having a winged figure on top of it.
Also Look at the shadows behind the dweller in the first and last panel on January 10th. The last panel, hidden by one of the talk boxes shows the bottom of what appears to be a wing. Also notice that in the process of talking to the Dweller, Calliel has circled him and he has turned to keep facing her until his back is to the “sarcophagus”.
begs the question dit calliel activate it before this started since she was standing next to it
I love it when people notice stuff like that 🙂
Dweller has seen it before.
