Harsh Reflections: Part Two
Chapter: Season Five, Season Six
In ages past, there were three continents on Karthun: Doryan, Shoana, and Prevaul. Each with their own landscapes and nations comprised of the patron races and traveler races brought to Karthun by the gods.
During the Age of Flames, the Worldwalkers pierced the planar veil and accidentally allowed the Worldfire, the Three Demon Kings, and their demonic legions into Karthun’s plane. The Worldfire engulfed most of Karthun, ultimately destroying Shoana and Prevaul. When the Worldfire reached Doryan, the gods made great sacrifices to forge The Chain and halt the Worldfire’s movement. Doryan was saved (for now). Over time, residents began to refer to Doryan as The Last Continent as a symbol of unity in the face of the ever-looming Worldfire.
Dude this is so awesome! your art style is phenomenal!
Thanks! I keep trying to push myself to improve.
I really really hope you come out with a source book for us soon. I don’t DM but i would love to roll up a character through Karthun! Also i agree with r3dm0h4wk your artwork is amazing as always!
Every comic in this arc is going to make me want my goodies from the Karthun kickstarter to get here more and more…
* humanity’s
(I think – unless we’re talking about the patron god of, like liberal arts)
That’s what I was posting to point out as well.
Art, leaps and bounds, what?
Yay?
Well done Bryan
*Brian; I knew that didn’t look right.
I just have to say that the last few pages have made me extremely happy I backed the Karthun kickstarter. I knew it was going to be good but now… I’m not sure I can handle the awesomeness.
“…the Worldwalkers pierced the planar veil and accidentally allowed the Worldfire, the Three Demon Kings, and their demonic legions into Karthun’s plane.”
“Oops. Our bad.”
Snark aside, I really like what you’re doing. Thanks.
Absolutely beautiful art.
I really like learning of this world, but man, this place sounds totally screwed. Still, a dying world struggling to keep it’s head above rising waters is a great place for some epic stories to be told.
I like the composition of this strip, with the big mountain-fortress and the phantasmal Sam up in the sky narrating his heart out. (Likely while his players build dice towers, but oh well. Players be dicks like that.)
Damn, I’m really liking the Karthun lore. I CAN’T WAIT to get that Kickstarter book and learn more about this kickass stuff.
Also, your art is getting better and better, Brian! I’m loving it.
alt text is 100% true. We’ve been meaning to talk to you about it…
Is it just me, or does it really look like a group of post-Soviet flats?
Can’t wait to see some (hopefully) Kundrok murder-ation. I used one in my homebrew to great success. Looks awesome, Brian!!!
Hover text “That’s how I look when I GM, looming over the group.”
God, this is a beautiful landscape. Makes me wish I had a DnD group again. I really miss the feel of rolling some dice with good friends.
God this landscapes and the light/shadow play..you make me get green out of jealousy.Which program are you using if I may ask?
