Tag: Drymouth Saga

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

NOTES

• The Lost Book reappears
• After Nefarian times, Drymouth experienced recurring droughts, and random sinkholes became common

NOTES

• Debut appearance of Refusaleth Badidea, a truevil (or “true evil”) who conquered the Beyonding long ago (Perceptive Times), and crossed the temporal cycle purely because he could
• In panel 3, Refusaleth uses a divinacrum to ascertain his position in the Narrative Timeline

NOTES

• Essul has perfect sight, which allows him to see through the dust, and glimpse the Dust Kraekin hidden in the storm
• Dust Kraekins are mysterious beasts the size of tractor trailers, that ride the storms and consume everything in their path
• Essul is only looking at a fraction of the Kraekin; the rest is just barely visible in the adjacent panels
• Radish-Hoof is referencing the work of underground cartoonist S. Clay Wilson in panel 1
