Chapter 9: Exiles
The elder basitin slowly made his way through the streets of the only town he knew. The winter was dragging on and it was still two months until the solstice. The northern wind blew through town like usual, and while it could have chilled a basitin from a more tropical climate, the thick white fur c...

Chapter 8: Banishment
Tostig looked out at this city under siege. Part of him felt for his people, but at the same time they could not be allowed to bow to wolves. He would not bow to wolves and their demands. They were lesser, and they were rivals who were only useful for labor and trade in times of peace. And yet, the ...

Chapter 7: A Second Chance
For the longest time, Connor felt cold. A sinking, deep cold that penetrated into the deepest parts of his soul. He was drowning under miles of water with seemingly no end in sight. The water was cold, too cold to breathe. Just as he was about to disappear into the dark abyss, he felt something rise...

Chapter 6: Winter's Wrath
Every man on the boat was exhausted. Rowing and sailing at a speed that few vessels could catch, the lone byrding had seemingly evaded capture in the night. Connor dared not fall asleep though, not until it was certain that they were out of danger. Unfortunately, just as it was looking like the hand...

Chapter 5: The Expedition
Connor penned the last couple sentences of the letter he had been adding to over the past couple of days. The sun was nearing the top of its arc across the sky, and the expedition would be leaving soon. From his perch on the wall he could see the last courier of the season collecting parcels to go b...

Chapter 4: First Snow
The courier walked briskly down the busy city street in Knockford. Wooden houses made a sort of canyon down the winding street. The fall breeze kicked up leaves. Further north winter was setting in but being near the coast, the town stayed relatively warm, if a little wet, during the winter. He had ...

Chapter 3: Recruited
While the days were quickly getting shorter, the sun was still in the sky far more often than not. It would be weeks until the equinox and then from there the north country would start getting colder, and colder, and colder still until the land more resembled a glacier than the rolling hills. Shadow...

Chapter 2: Callow
“There it is!” Asher shouted to his family, having rode ahead to the top of a hill. Down below him was the settlement of Callow. A large settlement of a few hundred inhabitants was the only apparent sign of life in the north country. By the time Connor and the rest caught up, he could make out a pro...

Chapter 1: White Pass
The clear spring water was warmer than the young basitin expected. Throughout the summer, they had traveled across the continent on a network of roads that were not nearly as well developed as those in the center of the human kingdom. Across the northern tier, the group had traveled through thick pi...

Land of the North Wind
Hey everyone! So, long story short, I wrote a fanfiction last year that wrapped up in early January called "Long Road Home". I'll make a separate thread for that, but this is basically the first story in a series. The events of that story, and this one, "Land of the North Wind" t...

Re: Comic for January 25, 2023: Lynn's Speciality
Glad to see Lynn again, but come on man, you brought a dagger to a dragon fight! Maybe it will be like the "noisy cricket" from Men in Black. Clovis gets shanked and he blows up.

Long time reader, new member
Hey everyone! I've been a reader of the comic now since 2015. I finally decided to join the forum here to interact more with this community Tom has fostered, and to shake things up a bit after being on the subreddit for a couple of years. Anyway, I'll jump right into to the questionnaire that was pi...

Re: Comic for Jan 18th 2023: Transmogrification
I'm actually kinda worried about Red here. Transmogrification means "transformation into different form." Clovis just did that with the axe, but we know dragons can do something like that to living beings as well. Maybe Red will be Raine's pet squirrel until the battle is over? On another ...
