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. )
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.
This is something it took me an stress-related acute physical health crisis to internalize, but yeah: Just because a particular issue you’re stressing over is “insignificant compared to {fill in the blank here}” does not mean it isn’t valid, and telling yourself that you’re bad and wrong somehow for stressing over it is only going to hurt yourself worse.
If it’s affecting you, if it’s causing you stress, it’s valid, and if you feel you need to take a moment to deal with it, do so. Before it turns into the straw that breaks your back.
I’m not gonna lie, I’m bothered as well. This is the final stage of the story, which means this comic will be ending. I’ve known it would happen, James has told us many times that the comic has an ending. That doesn’t mean it isn’t a little bittersweet.
I’ve been reading this comic for a very long time & I’m both saddened & excited to see the conclusion of this story. However, I do look forward to the twists & turns James will be revealing to us.
The title of this scene made me wonder if they were planning to blow the place up to fool Dehane or something like that.
I’ve been looking forward to the tower raid for years, a terminal with an administrative login that has been sitting unattended for over seven thousand years. I hope Gage and crew can get a lot out of it.
