Kawunei’s fortress began as Kebra’s fortress (the Yiggish sorcerer-warlord who captured Lyca). But he invited Kawunei’s displeasure.
Kebra was never really able to get the legs to work right either. Walking fortresses SOUND cool but upkeep is a nightmare.
Is freeing the Titan likely to have an adverse affect on Kawunei’s alchemy project?
“Is freeing the Titan likely to have an adverse affect on Kawunei’s alchemy project?”
Hence the increasingly time-sensitive nature of his work. The chemical titan is the source of most raw alchemical materials.
Maybe it’s just me, but in this story and the last one you’ve written, it feels like there’s a bunch of little nuances that I don’t quite get about the story or why people do what they do.
Granted, I might just need to give said stories another look, but it’s less about being needlessly complex, I think, and more about being one of those deep stories you can read over and over and find new things and clues you didn’t see before.
I’ll take it as a compliment! I think WPK has hit some kind of critical complexity mass. One of my goals with WPK was to make sure things actually happened, rather than a lot of long-form comics, where, after a brief flurry of interesting character-introductions and villains-of-the-month fights, things settle into a static equilibrium. The problem with that is that it means a LOT of stuff has happened and most of it affects the present. But if you have any specific questions, I’ll be happy to answer them.
