NOTES

• When someone communicates through a yellow resinate, which then crumbles, what does that mean?
• Is the Empire actually spying on Corny, and who could be a “Glowborg sympathizer”?

NOTES

• The painting is of the current Midirian Empress (Narrative Timeline)
• Bromance is looking at the part of the painting that’s been torn out, in panel 3
• There are yellow crystals at the base of the painting
• Radish-Hoof is the only one of the group who has actually met the Empress
• Scrawled on the painting and then crossed out: “D.R.I.N.K.”

NOTES

• First appearance of the last of the Subborgs; would you even know about them, if Refusaleth hadn’t killed all but one?
• Refusaleth recognizes that the monstrances beneath the ground once belonged to Nefaria

NOTES

• Did the mirror change Corny’s clothes, or did he, without realizing it?
• Why would lampstones crumble?
• Why is a section of the painting missing, and what is scrawled above the Empress?

NOTES

• Nefaria’s atrocities are written and well-known; Refusaleth’s are not
• “Brewed… under a pair of full moons” (Yotaton)
• Moon mead fermentation is affected depending on the moon and its phase; two full moons (or more) result in a strong and sweet mead

NOTES

• First appearance of the Imperial Inspectorate
• Secret factories were established in New Bordorea following massive pillaging by air pirates
• The New Bordorean foreman is based on the vintage Fisher-Price “Little People” dog

NOTES

• In the first panel, Yla explains the importance and integrity of books/codices in the Beyonding
• Panel 6 features a real map of the Beyonding; these maps are as rare as the Lost Book, and are neither printed, nor paper

NOTES

• A tormentnid is visible in the lower right corner of panel 2
• Panel 4: rare Midirian elixir and moon mead

NOTES

• There is a knowledge, forbidden by the Empire, that allows one to pass through anything but bone or resinate
• Is that a cordless telephone in the foreground of panel 6?

NOTES

• Essul learned about this monstrance at the Phubarb Village Library
