Page #15 is coloured!

see if you can recognize the colour of the eyes peering out from behind the Hill.

Also, William is really off-model on this page.

I'm beginning to wonder why anyone in Effigies actually bothers getting out of bed.
Man this is one hell of a crapsack world.

Ever heard of Warhammer 40k?  ;)

Also, the blade of the (assumed leader) kobold in #14.. Is it bronze?


would be.... Andraste! Or not really.
last I checked that character was pretty much based on Joan of Arc.

Yeah, hence the 'Not really.' But Andraste has a truckload of Christ-influences too. Her role within the Chantry is clear-cut messianic in the way of his, and she also sacrificed herself for her people. Her remains are so significant that they're basically the Holy Grail of Thedas :D

Oh! What happened to the body of the saviour after his death? "Two hundred years later, there are shady merchants selling the authentic fingerbone of the saviour. Apparently he had thirteen fingers. On each hand. xD)

I know of 40k, too.

But man, I just gotta, say it again.

Poor poor effigies people.

Probably copper, or another really cheap metal. You mean the guy with the blue hat right? Blue hat Kobold is indeed their leader.

Oh! What happened to the body of the saviour after his death? "Two hundred years later, there are shady merchants selling the authentic fingerbone of the saviour. Apparently he had thirteen fingers. On each hand. xD)
see here:
but all agree on the methods - his throat was slit and his body was burned to ash.
so it'd be less merchants peddling his fingerbones and more merchant peddling vials of "the true ash" or whatever you'd call it.

But man, I just gotta, say it again.
Poor poor effigies people.
ooh, I remembered another depressing/interesting aspect of the world: In the Effigies setting, Red apples (referred to as "Scarlets" in-story) are a rare delicacy. The cheapest form of apple is the "russet", which is soft, brown, and bland. A more uncommon variant is the "Garnet", a yellow apple with a more sour flavour. But proper red apples are very rare and very expensive.

Okay, you went from just making a Crapsack World to being a cruel, sadistic bastard.

Dude, they're just apples! There's tons of other fruit in the Effigies world. Like Figs! Figs are actually the most popular fruit crop in the setting.

You took out APPLES! If they advance significantly they'll be stuck with BILL FUCKING GATES. Not to mention that apples are delicious. Delicious Fruit.

Am I the only one who thinks that that dark figure on the last page is facepalming?

Like, "oh, someone is about to activate a trap again" *facepalm*.

the facepalm is intentional. although it's more like "oh no, someone actually found the temple and is about to discover what is sealed up within it..."

Good job Fault :). Can't wait to see more. Of course I understand all the needs of RL and personal time, but I still hope to see more ;).
