Notes: Originally was only going to be Sog...but I got carried away.
I lurk within the depths of your mind, for I am INSANITY!

hails and greetings, my liege!
i humbly beg you to forgive my lateness in presenting reports! i was unavoidably detained, therefore i am most pleased to tell you about not one, but two momentous occasions in the honored realm of order!
first, the most excellent tinkerer awdz bodkins required some parts for a new experiment. she asked her fellow dwellers of order to assist in obtaining them, and offered a great reward. many took up the task, but only two were able to obtain the items in the time needed.
the human thaliaa obtained most of the items first, but was missing a crucial item - a distintive shield. so, necessity being the mother of invention, she set about creating one! meanwhile, dragon tagath also searched for the needed items, finding them barely in the time alotted.
the host was happy to provide the reward to the pair, as she will be able to finish the experiment!
just yesterday, my queen, i was honored to attend a rare double ascension to ancienthod! honored kalthalis and vesper gathered many friends to witness this event.
a by no means complete guest list included yours truly, as well as nyoko, eidolen and tarnak (both on hand to monitor the energies of the rare occasion), starstilanxs, magnumer, calihan, aucapoma, tsargoth, byzil, caliginosus, akrion, silvyra, shymmer, vaega, ninian, and shagreth.
the beginning spheres expanded and expanded before fading away to reveal the new ancients where before adults had stood.
kalthalis remained in the pool to bathe the ascension residue off as lovely vesper passed out trout as a party favor.
the pair then returned to the pool as the after party began!
once again, i beg your forgiveness for the tardiness of my reports, and hope that the joy of them will make up for my faults!
adieu, your highness, until my next report!
Customization

So one day I decided I am going to play around with the character creation. I start making a dryad, trying to decide what color combination I am going to give it and figuring out what tattoos would really look nice.
At some point I realize something: Who cares!
Dryads are so small half the time you don't even realize they are there.
Not to mention the fact that I am going to be wearing armor the entire time..... effectively covering all these markings and "clever" color combos - and rendering all my efforts to be a complete waste of time!
Notes: The armored guy is really a gnome on stilts.
And yes, it is the return of the "Frekkin' Flippers" guy you all seem to like so much.
Ever wonder why it is that unlike in the "real world", the bipeds of Istaria never seem to have an interest in collecting treasure, valuables and other shiny shiny things?
It is cause THIS happens.
Vultures

Notes: These comics are free, but I will accept donations in the form of hoard. ;D *holds out grubby paws*
the great solitaire created a short video showing some of the trials and tribulations a hatchie must go thru to gain his wings.......
quite lovely, as befits the talents of an art god of istaria!
as long as we are on the subject, here is gengel's gallery of istarian artwork - definitely worth checking out!
xanthia has another new comic!! its the biggest one so far, so i am posting the link to the orginal thread - if i tried to smush it like the last one, it would be incomprehensible!
check out the madness here.....
