I'm not sure if this will actually happen. Maybe it will. Birds.
39
Alt text:
A true king of men is not always just. Or a man.
40
Alt text:
pretty, pretty birds, in dark rivulets, flowing out the girl's mouth, crawling, their wings wet and silky, cough, color of old blood
41
Alt text:
Yon hoverly mouse thee, wordens appear aboutswise thinken tha?
42
Alt text:
shivering in the trees, old, cold and alone, dusk wraps the cold, the wood walls warp, the birds clack their beaks hungrily, hungrily
43
Alt text:
Allison's best day ever!
44
Alt text:
The conquering king must come with violence in his self of selves.
45
Alt text:
And he makes a mean breakfast
46
Alt text:
Seek sovereignty from the laws of man and God. Shatter the gates of heaven and build your fortress with their ruins.

A man's tongue has the power to split worlds - Proverb

Alt text:
Remember their faces. Remember their names. Pray to them often, and give to the flames.
49

A great warrior kills with his weapon, a greater still his hands, a greater still his tongue, a greater still a glance, yet the greatest have no need for killing at all.

The exalted order of Gun Witches was founded in R.E. 3440 and is the fourth order of witches after the Blade witches. Needless to say, it is by far the most feared.

"We are all maggots of the divine corpse" - Saying of the Belligerant Knights
58
Alt text:
In some universes the battle tank was created - an armored shell protecting a core of weak flesh and razor sharp reason. In many ways, an angel is perhaps similar, a fired stone or metal shell protecting a controlled nuclear explosion skilled in millenia old martial arts. Perhaps.

I resisted the urge to draw Michael with a boss cop mustache.

I enjoy that we're far enough in the comic to do a recap page.

The captain of the Yamga was quite fine from the fall, as it turned out. He retired at age 40 due to the massive insurance policy he had taken out on his ship, then found out a week later that his creditors had fled the Red City and were now living hedonistic lifestyles as warlord accountants on one of the pleasure worlds of the Golden Army. So it goes.

Heretic's Court
260
Alt text:
The first two arch-devils here are Bethanderian (crab-like creature) and Astarion (four winged devil). They are not part of the inner court of seven, but the outer court of thirteen. Yawmga (the meditating man) and Loabarrisleb (the many eyed one) are part of the inner court and far more powerful.
261
Alt text:
Anti-clockwise from top left we have Yawmga, Carnifex, Thrax, Loabarrisleb, Gloam, Izzicob, and Moab

Alt text:
Myra, also known as the stinking goddess, is the patron goddess of the poor. Though finely dressed, the hem of her long veil is perpetually stained with the mud and filth of her surroundings. She famously broke UN-Ogam's nose when he tried to carry her off and wed her by headbutting him in the face.

It's not entirely true that Yre has never been breached by anyone who survived the attempt, only it's Grand Vault. There is simply so much of it that all sorts of vermin can slip in through the cracks. Only those that seek deeper treasures will face the Dragon.

The inert bodies of angels often reside in the warding towers where they hold criminals. Sometimes, on long sojourns in the void, these bodies are left for years, guarded by human servants, other angels, and orders of Peregrine Knights. It is not uncommon for an angel to leave its body for hundreds of years, during which time an entire shrine, town, or temple complex might spring up around its immobile body, much to the angel's surprise on its return.

"Angels are very single minded beings. I once heard of an infamous thief who stole a song-jewel from the Palace of Night. He shook the angel that tried to track him down, sold the jewel, moved offworld, happily retired, had several children, and was relaxing in his hammock one day nearly thirty years later when the exact same angel strode up to him, cracked him in the jaw, and dragged him off to prison for theft. The angel was absolutely filthy with dust and mud, having been ceaselessly working to track him down every moment of every day that had passed since. I was told after the arrest it took thirty minutes to wash off for 'efficiency' reasons and then immediately returned to its patrol route." -Payapop Pritram

Angels, despite their size and their armored shell being extremely heavy, can move incredibly quietly when they need to.

The Red God has no mercy, but he has a lot of work to do and is very, very tired
538
Alt text:
"He had a sword called Ruin, that he hammered a thousand times a thousand times. And each time he hammered, he called out the name of his enemy, but the name of his enemy was a dreadful word and could not be spoken aloud without mortal peril. And thus his hammerstrokes covered the sound of that awful name and gave shelter to his supplicants."

Before him, even the mightiest earthly rulers may be flicked away like fleas."

Rude awakening

Alt text:
... many times have we been here, Allison? How many times have you woken up, broken, in a foreign bed? The bed won't always be there, Allison. It's dark and cold, and the lake is silent. Your friends have gone home. Nobody is there anymore.
615
Alt text:
... here. It's calm here. The mirror reflects all pain. The Machine stands monumental. It was built over my family's seat of power. It's been hollowed out and filled with gentle repose. Rest, and be warm.

... where's the hearth I can call a home? Where are they waiting for me to come through the door and put the kettle on? Nowhere. Nowhere. Nowhere.
617
Alt text:

"Never underestimate the power of a man with two swords. He's not telling you with his choice of armament that he's a weakling and needs two weapons to beat you. He's telling you that he's going to have a great time with this. He's got a special sword just for you." - Mars Pallatrix

"Hansa's pipe was well weighted, carved from an ox bone, sturdy, and pleasant to the touch. It was a masterful piece of work but not ostentatious in the slightest. When Hansa smoked, which was often, he was pleased by the companionship of his pipe, which was a constant reminder of his inevitable and self-circular annihilation."

this entire comic is about how swords are super fucking cool but actually not very cool guys sorry

"Even amongst border worlds, Svelben is remarkable in its ability to repulse even the most iron-stomached governors, due to its ten year winters. Appointees typically last three years there, even those formerly assigned to rebellious provinces that have had to deal with insurgents, espionage and worse. It is a quiet, uneventful, and very, very cold world. The only thing it is well known for is losing military patrols in seven day snowstorms." - Holm Vexatus, Imperial Surveyor

At this, Het opened the door she was guarding, and all doors in YISUN's speaking house. Ogam could clearly see, behind each one was the Road, which reached hungrily out towards him and would have snapped him up if Het hadn't speedily closed the doors again. He didn't mock her much after that."

The Yamga (and other godships) actually float due to the nascent properties of god bone. Most of the partial skeleton of YS-VEI is inside there. Nobody, not even the most erudite thaumaturges, knows why this is the case. It's not exactly a rare resource in Throne, either, and is often used as such.
