Swords, Sorcery, And Then Some!
Howdy, New Readers! Thanks for reading Exiern!
Written by Scott T. Hicken with art by Antipus, the comic updates Mondays. Please check out the Archive to enjoy the earlier adventures of Typh and Peonie!
Exiern contains mature themes and is best for readers 18+.
Typh’s grandfather has dementia. (Alzheimer’s didn’t exist as an illness in medieval times as most people didn’t live long enough to show symptoms.) Small wonder healers can’t find a lasting solution.
Dementia is an easy guess, but there could be many things just as bad even without considering possible magical influences.
I frankly don’t consider anything Grandfather has said to be prima facie evidence of dementia, especially if Gramps has a sense of humor. “You’re not my usual jester” could well mean a doctor or similar tormentor.
Again, I won’t be surprised if he is just gorked out–but I also won’t be surprised if he’s–not your standard old man. Leprosy, say, or half dragon.
And yes, “Day’s report”. He might well receive daily reports about business affairs or something–and might refer to that person as his “servant” or “jester”.
Now, if he had said, “You’re not my usual veeblefetzer! Where’s my furshlugginger potrzebie?” then we would indeed know he had gone slightly mad.
Here a weirder Thought, The Prince and the Pauper … What IF HE IS THE REAL KING??! That would make Tiffany Rightful Princess and her Brother Rightful King… Sad Part being the Impostor Doing such a great Job the last 30 to 40 years.
Hopefully she got her innate magic resistance from this side of the family. It would explain why he resists what the local church priests couldn’t do anything.
Man is he thin, he’s just a skeleton wearing a bit of skin.
he must be really sick, or this is a nasty curse, if he’s this far gone.
Doctors and spellsingers can’t help? definitely a curse.
a powerful amount of dark magic, if they can’t fix or treat it.
She resisted the priests because she is focal point of the curse. They are fighting hte full force spell power of the dark mage/wizard king who first cursed him. Faden, lord of making children cry and crafting the perfect barbaric female conan…hottie…concubine….thing.

Possibly from too much time travel to the American 1950s.
Bet he thinks he the King and looks it.
Maybe a curse? And thats why her Grandmother so excepting.Like”wow just Like her Grandfather she got cursed .”
@50srefuge Except Typhan-Knee’s grandmother says he’s unwell, so i don’t think it’s hI’m being humorous.
Jake: just because he is unwell doesn’t mean he can’t have a sense of humour, unless it was a humour-ectomy
Here a weirder Thought, The Prince and the Pauper … What IF HE IS THE REAL KING??! That would make Tiffany Rightful Princess and her Brother Rightful King… Sad Part being the Impostor Doing such a great Job the last 30 to 40 years.
That would be hilarious, yes.

Think you mean vassal instead of vessel. The former is a servant, the latter a sea going vehicle.
@Gamester. This guy is so far gone, he could well be talking about a sea-going vehicle, and mean it.
The “vessel” thing actually made me think he meant a chamber pot or something, as the word is basically just something that holds stuff.
