...but am I going to be the only one who asks this?!? Are we ever gonna see some romance between a certain couple? The sexual tension you've got going on is killin' me! Embarassed

Yeah, yeah.... I'm a typical dude asking a typical question... but ya can't blame me, can ya?

Or is this strictly going to be a PG Web comic (no nudity.)

My perv post is now complete.

Thanks Nicole. Keep rocking the awesome work!

How on earth did you guess that Sid and Sigurd were going to have a torrid affair in chapter 6!?! Wink

Seriously though, I don't want to give away the story, so I won't say anything about any of the characters' futures, relationships or any possible future relationships!

As far as nudity and ratings go, I don't follow any particular rating system, I don't like labels much and I wouldn't say that FW is a "comic for kids", so I don't plan on censoring myself all that much if I decide a certain element or another (be it violence, language, sex or nudity) is necessary for the story to be told well. But that said, I think there's a lot of stuff that would mess up the comic's tone if I chose to include them, so it's safe to say there won't be extreme gore, cluster f-bombs dropped, or abundantly graphic lusty wenches in the comic anytime soon.... because that would be like starting off with a Final Fantasy game and having it suddenly turn into God of War.... XD

Alright this is technically not about the world of Feywinds, but it's the closest world I could find. Is Lady Keres different from the Fey winds gods? She seems to share the inflated ego but from what Sigurd said she seems to be unique in her own plane.

And is she alive? I mean, she was made of........bits wasn't she, so does she need food and does she breathe ?

Sigurd said that she now inhabits the body of a golem. Traditonally golems are essentially magical robots so no I doubt she'd need to attend to bodily functions. I don't know for sure though.

Keres and Sylphe are different from the gods by their nature (they aren't natural beings and they are more like humans so they don't get powers from their domain/followers etc). As for what makes Keres unique, I'll get to that eventually, it's a part of the overall plot, something important to Keres and her story.

As for the question of whether or not the golems are alive (in a philosophical sense), it's a pretty big question for some of the characters. Whether or not they count as physically alive depends on who made them and how. Depending on the care and dedication with which they are made they can have different degrees of being alive. (Runedoggies are basically just robots made of rocks and goo and magic, whereas Nigel was made with a lot more care and respect for the person he would eventually be, so he was made to be able to actually have a life of his own)

When it comes to Keres, I'd almost say it doesn't matter, because even if she had been made to be as "human" as Nigel (eating, sleeping etc) she could (and would probably) ignore all those pitiful mortal needs by sheer force of will and concentrate on whatever an angry Keres concentrates on in her spare time. (most likely ways to torture Sigurd to death in case anybody's wondering)

What I was getting at is that when Keres is summoned she says "You have defiled your own god!" and from what Sigurd said it seemed her godhood was diferent then the locals. I was wondering if there were any specific differences.

I have a question about Kaderria. Embarassed

It is said that Song was expelled from people of that country - does that mean that they can't also use the Rule? I thought that the Rule can be learned independently from the Song.

I'm pretty sure they can't use the rule. After all the rule is just another way of manipulating the song.

Nope, Ronnoc is right. Even if the Rule was made for people who can't hear the Song, the Song is still there and they can manipulate it through the Rule. The Kaderrians have been stripped of the ability to manipulate the Song in any way. They could possibly learn the theory behind the Rule, but they wouldn't be able to actually "do" anything with it.

Alrighty new batch of questions. First off do the Ancients/Strangers use the Song or the Rule or something altogether different? They predate the Rule but as they created the Rule it can't be incomprehensible to them either(Well that or they grabbed a copy of Creating Magic Systems for Dummies by Jack Vance).
Second question; where do ghosts fit in this world. It's clear that their existence is accepted by scholars but what type of ghosts are they? Revenants looking for revenge, spirits not yet ready to move on, mere memories of traumatic events or something new?
