Howdy, New Readers! Thanks for reading Exiern!
Written by Scott T. Hicken with art by Antipus, the comic updates Thursdays. Please check out the Archive to enjoy the earlier adventures of Typh and Peonie!
Exiern contains mature themes and is best for readers 18+.
The King of this land is a scary man, and a scary man is he.
If you would deal with the King of this land, respectful it’s best to be.
Respectful and careful and true to your word, and let no threat ‘gainst his kingdom be heard/
Lest the king should grow wroth with you/
And the things that he doth to you/
Shall show you how scary a King he can be.
Like I said… Not a good idea to push it.
He might Seem like a pleasant man, but that’s part of the job description. It is Not the Whole description though.
Remember folks, countries ruled by nice guys get invaded a lot. Countries ruled by guys like Vlad the Impaler and this fellow… Eyah, not so much.
Transylvania got invaded a lot because it was the only easy access for the Turks to get to the rest of Europe, and the rest of Europe were too busy playing political bullshit amongst each other to see the real threat and left Prince Tepes to fend an entire nation off on his own (which he did, and then the rest of Europe vilified him)
greenstalker: if you meant the Turkish ‘envoy’, he didn’t impale him, he had his turban nailed to his head because he refused to remove it in his presence
Actually Vlad was captured by troops sent by the Hungarian king Matyas Hunyadi (Matthias Corvinus in latin), who was elected to be king in 1457 a.d. by the Hungarian diet (parlamentum publicum, estabilished 1222 a.d. by the first constitution of Hungary).
@kstormgemini Urticaria knows that in the real world sometimes you have to get your hands dirty, that’s all. He’s more then willing to be nice when he can afford to be.
Daaaaaaamn! King Urtica is living up to his name again. Looks like even a dragon gets to feel the sting if she brushes up against his bad side. Seems like somehow Alicia has gotten a lot stupider than she used to be back when she thought she was human, which seems odd considering dragons are patently smarter than humans in general. Must be that dark influence making her reckless.
A most “gentle” reminder 😉
Ladies and gentleman, King Urtica!
Good to know that he got more. That stuff isn’t cheap though. He might have had to pay the “Mother” a very… heavy price.
That would explain why he’d been walking a little funny all of last week, though.
It’s a price he is glad to pay as often as neccessary.
Nice. Talk about crazy prepared.

I bet it a bluff, but then again, I bet it not, haha.
With this guy, it’s always a bluff – until you call him on it. Then it never is.
The information that … is inside Tiff’s head?

King Urtica needs for somebody to invent The Royal Microphone.
The Chimera venom was a bluff… I think?
this is why i love this guy.
Actually Vlad the impalers behaviour invited more invasions and finally he took the wrong the place to anger by impaling the messenger.

Enough said.
Actually Vlad was captured by troops sent by the Hungarian king Matyas Hunyadi (Matthias Corvinus in latin), who was elected to be king in 1457 a.d. by the Hungarian diet (parlamentum publicum, estabilished 1222 a.d. by the first constitution of Hungary).

I love the way he never looses his diplomatic, almost nice guy, mannerism, even when pulling out less than nice cards to keep things cosher.

Welp that blasted woman better behave or we will see how quickly dragons die from chimaera poison.
On second thought, why don’t I go to my room and wait patiently?
