Ceaseless Fables of Beyonding

NOTES

• Is Zaz’s father going insane, or just pretending to?
• “Impol” is short for Imperial Police
• Who is Zaz’s brother that was drafted?
• Did Zaz’s father spit in her face, or spit something onto her face (head)?

NOTES

• What could the top hat symbol on the wall in panel 2 mean?

• Zaz finally admits that she’s trying to see her father, and tells Cornelius the proper pronunciation of her name (ZAZ-men-ee) as a gesture of trust

NOTES

• The Hatmender Briguild is not officially sanctioned or acknowledged by Midiria; they secretly foment disharmony between peoples and nations, for their own agenda
• Quiatas doesn’t call Refusaleth by name, to avoid his attention; he raises his visor in panel 6, revealing that he has three different forms of sight

NOTES

• Since Irata erased Karbunkel’s name from his books, Karbunkel will gain no power from their use
• In panel 7, Radish-Hoof admits that he was trying to drink himself to death before Cornelius found him

• Zaz breaks from the spell of Shiraadh’s doubtworm, expelling it from the other ear from where it went in

• Lights are visible on the moons in panel 1
• Refusaleth was alerted to the existence of the sunken Gargile kingdom when Zaz unwittingly spoke his name there
