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. )
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.
I’ll give you exactly what I posted on the newsreel about the subject:
“Tech stocks rebounded today from a three year low with the news that Chandler Communications announced an early prototype of a new type of communications satellite that is resistant to orbital debris.”
Actually this wasn`t a question, but the catch of a typo (that`s the way I understand it): Read the sentence in the speech-bubble aloud. It should either be “They say they have … or they say that they have …”
Btw.: Didn`t notice it until now, but when did you loose the newsreel and why doesn`t it even show in the old comics (I know the answer is probably a big sigh and something about software changes.)?
If you go to the about dropdown, and scroll down you can find all the old newsreeel entries.
And as for when I stopped doing them? A long time ago. And as for why? It got to be too much of a pain in the ass with dealing with the widget function in WordPress and finding a proper place to put them. Not too mention that it became drudgery to do them on a regular basis.
Even though I may bring them back though…especially since after this set of comics I’m in the middle of right now…I’m going into the final chapter of Requiem.
… Also, a cascade resistant satellite would be good to have, but I do hope that one of the questions they’re going to be asking the manufacturers is “Well done, but how do you intend to get the thing up into space and maneuver it into orbit?”
Unless they’ve also designed a Cascade-proof orbital delivery vehicle, in which case they should probably have been marketing that as a Cascade-proof suborbital transport instead.
Get it going fast enough in the correct trajectory and it’ll be where you want it – assuming it can maneuver. There will be holes in the debris fields where in can go up with minimal hazard or interference.
They say they have a satellite or they say that they have a satellite?

Is Marker’s Vale an actual location that just happens to resemble Marcus Vale’s name, or is that an autocorrect spelling typo?
An actual location, no typo required.

?
That`s an odd reply to someone reporting a typo.
Great comic!
Allready commented on that one, sorry, didn`t scroll down until posting.
So very long ago… 🙂
