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+.
Well, I think in the history of the comic, Faden was the only character to use coloured speech bubbles. But Fadens were a pinkish red (or a reddish pink). The Blue is definitely new. Maybe Ctyx and Faden have hybridized into one entity?
And if his Undead friend will show up? (I am hoping she a Vampire! Hey sue me)I Really am happy about this. The Poor Kid get Magic power after his hands cut off and switched By Faden Because Tiff screwed up and let him Escape. Then a city tries to Witch Hunt him for powers he never asked for. Then then while he starving a WereBEAR (who powers are Natural and acceptable) kills his Girlfriend who trying to protect him. The only Person in the world that cared for him. And when he tries to protect her dieing in the street bleeding out the people seek to defend the WEREBEAR from the Evil sorcerer! Hes What maybe 14 Same as his Girl? The Only bad thing they did was steal Bread to eat and get Beat on.
Only Neil seemed Sympathetic but every one including Tiff wanted to Burn the kid. So as new Dark Over Lords Go The Kid’s got a Valid Complaint. If He the Narrator It makes sense He NOW the VILLAIN that NARATES And speaks out loud… @Mark I think its ICE not Crystal.
Ctyx “I will concur THIS WORLD! It IS DOOM,Now Ctyx has the power of the narrator coupled with Faden Hand he is now near invincible,A innocent child turned to Evil due to the unfairness and Prejudice He and his one true love where treated ”
The Styx is back and there’s going to be Trou-ble! Heli! Heli! The Styx is back!
@Jonathan, remember his father called him “useless” too when Faden took his hand, and it’s strongly implied that his father didn’t much care for him when he was whole.
I wonder what happened to Mira. I figured he would be taking her to the Lost City this whole time to resurrect her.
Then again, we don’t see him wearing the cape or such, so it could just be an indication that he’s planning to kidnap the next doomsayer or is simply there at the behest of the current dreamer to usher in next story cycle.
@yep his dad was a nice piece of work. Some how I think the World of Exiern Just got some Karma… And a New Dark Lord rises. If that is a Ice Glove betting he all Necromancer.. Really implies his Girls Undead of some kind. Oh well DEATH TO THE LIVING !!!
@Lurker not realy certain other than its up to the New author, but the old one could appear/teleport anywhere, Like I said before a Narrator as a Villain works. Lot bad Guys Telegraph there plans (explain them) Talk in 3rd person and seem to be able to come back from the dead as long as the have a weird Explanation. This Villain Actually got Explanation why he will do it. there Doommmed!
I generally took the narrator as having no real power. He appeared and disappeared at the behest of the Dreamer/Author.
If any of you have read the Allegory of the Cave (or Plato’s Cave) I generally regard the Narrator as much the equivalent of a Freed prisoner returned to the cave.
FAN THEORY 843: The Doomsayer role has not transitioned to the new author’s choice but been hijacked! Old Mac’s granddaughter, Mackenzie, will join the team with the mission of dethroning the importer so the true Doomsayer may take his rightful place.
It cannot be Osir or old Mac himself because they are creatures of the old Dreamers/Authors. Mackenzie would have the greatest level of knowledge on the Doomsayer’s role and abilities, besides she is likely the only person who may even know of all this.
Its easy for her to join the party since we already know she lives in the Capital where Peonie just headed and IMHO she would make a great addition to the team as the strangely knowledgeable yet completely ditz young girl. She is Velma to their Scooby Gang.
I wonder if this is the Price Ctyx paid to bring his Girlfriend back? What if the EYE Amulets like a Peephole to the Author? Tiff’s Spell/Curse got screwed up and Karma got added was bc Faden threw so much power into it he drew the Attention of the Author (I.E. GOD).. What If thats what the Eye is? Maybe the Author Not Happy with the way Ctyx’s Girl was killed or the way Magic Users in general are treated and decided to Give the Matter Some Personal ATTENTION.
See this whole thing about weather the Doomsayer role Grants any useful scarey Power can be Answered by Ctyx’s Smile.. Yes Karma From the Author’s hand a Calling..
So I am rather upset at the straight lie that chemic told… he said in comment and I quote “you will see niels face by close of this arc”… where the heck is his face?
Be a Producer!Your name/title with an optional SFW hyperlink will be posted prominently HERE following the close of the month! You’ll also receive monthly mailings from Exiern’s author, Scott T. Hicken!
Looks like he changed the style of “his” hand a bit. Although I wonder where the eye is.
Really did not see that coming.
Is the crystalline gauntlet to prevent the “Hand” from trying to control Ctyx?
@Mark, Is so, given the eyes, I don’t think it is working.
I think Faden is our new doom speaker.
Well, I think in the history of the comic, Faden was the only character to use coloured speech bubbles. But Fadens were a pinkish red (or a reddish pink). The Blue is definitely new. Maybe Ctyx and Faden have hybridized into one entity?
Well, the doom is back. Did it ever truely go away? I wonder if a slice of cheese cake comes with this doom…
And if his Undead friend will show up? (I am hoping she a Vampire! Hey sue me)I Really am happy about this. The Poor Kid get Magic power after his hands cut off and switched By Faden Because Tiff screwed up and let him Escape. Then a city tries to Witch Hunt him for powers he never asked for.

Tiff”OH GODS YOU’RE TALKING LIKE THE OTHER TWO!”
Ah, *bleep*it… =_= Not the way I was hoping to see this kid again.
The Styx is back and there’s going to be Trou-ble! Heli! Heli! The Styx is back!
@Jonathan, remember his father called him “useless” too when Faden took his hand, and it’s strongly implied that his father didn’t much care for him when he was whole.
ok now I am worried. what path will this narrator take us down.
will be more PRINCESS TUTU or DAVE THE BARBARIAN
ugh, I forgot about this annoying character.
Someone upgraded their hand!
I wonder what happened to Mira. I figured he would be taking her to the Lost City this whole time to resurrect her.

The eye could be under his shirt.
And check the previous page. He certainly has Faden’s sense of snark.
@yep his dad was a nice piece of work. Some how I think the World of Exiern Just got some Karma… And a New Dark Lord rises. If that is a Ice Glove betting he all Necromancer.. Really implies his Girls Undead of some kind. Oh well DEATH TO THE LIVING !!!
I’m guessing the colored speech bubbles means he’s a sorcerer, but since they’re blue, he hasn’t gone completely evil yet…
What is the power of the Narrator anyway?
Doom! returns, woo!
@Lurker not realy certain other than its up to the New author, but the old one could appear/teleport anywhere, Like I said before a Narrator as a Villain works. Lot bad Guys Telegraph there plans (explain them) Talk in 3rd person and seem to be able to come back from the dead as long as the have a weird Explanation.

I hope the Little Guy KICK ALL THE HEROES ASSES!

Never mistreat a kid. They grow up.
(…Among other excellent reasons never to mistreat them…)

It not good to get the ATTENTION OF the Author/GOD!
