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+.
Gutted someone with their own sword while tossing a snappy one liner, then beat another to death with the first one’s skull.
Threw the sword at a door, pinning the third one to said door, snatched up a spear and gave a rear ender to the fourth one with it.
Eventually felled in the midst of glorious bloodlust.
Or, twist, died shortly after childbirth – peacefully.
A little out of place but I just realised what some of the next story might involve.
War with the Rus.
Peonie’s father has killed one important Rus girl and is holding another in prison after he killed Mira. Now, sometime later, we learn the Rus sought peace with the Barbarians… If you’re going to war with someone as big as the Luminary alliance, you want to make sure you don’t need to guard your rear.
@Skeffles: Her father supposedly told Urtica that she was very likely up to no good. So she was obviously sold out by her father, however Urtica still noted that he’d rather not have to kill her and start a war which led me to believe that the father still expected his daughter’s scheme to be stopped and her to be returned to her own kind or turned over to them for punishment.
I had it in my head that Willin here was the one who sought peace with the Rus, but now we learn it was them who sought peace with the barbarians. That plus the dead Rus girl, the imprisoned one who killed Mira (we saw him close to the end of that story sequence in chains) and Urtica’s comments makes me think they’re preparing for war.
Which could work well as a continued excuse to keep Peonie and the group from returning to the Capital if there are hostile forces between them and the Luminary alliance. Otherwise, there’s no significant reason for Niels and Tiffany not to simply return Peonie home, even against her will, and continue as guardians for her and the king.

For someone like her, I guess it might have happen in battle.
Betting she spit on the crowd and told them to go to hell.
Maybe she fought like hell and it took an entire mob to bring her down?

BATTLE!!!
She Died In Battle.
She got axed by a granddaughter. It’s a tradition.
I suspect that’s a new tradition.
Just after sex. She came, and went….
Sounds like maybe in an epic way, but ultimately pointless/needless/stupid
It just occurred to me Diane might of let the two guards off with the occasional beating but after this Story Neil might need to VISIT them…
It’s that time again, time for a flashback!

The necklace is back…
@Charles81, wasn’t that Rus bearshifter Urtica offed basically hung out to dry by her own leadership for being too violent for her own good?
