Ok cool, that does clarify it a bit.Technic[Bot] wrote: ↑Thu May 30, 2019 12:42 am For what I gather, after Trace deposes Mary and turned her into a wolf she send her and Raine to live as slaves somewhere. However before they arrived where rescued by Euchre who somehow managed to keep that hidden from our favorite genocidal maniac. Then they went to Lyn'knoll since it was probably the only safe place for a shapeshifter and her transformed mother. Some years later Ephemural decided to cheat on the mask global risk game contact Mary and offer her revenge against Trace in one of the most convoluted plans i have ever seen. Probably at this point she took Raine with her and went to confront the our now amnesiac blue haired hero, eventually getting separated from each other.
Who knows what Mary is up to now. Personally I reckon she left Raine with Maren anc company since she thought it was safer for her. Since after all she is still the deposed, and probably presumed dead, grand templar. Even if Trace is no longer a threat, he still is though, his psychopathic Posee still roams the kingdom trying to fill the power vacuum Trace filled. On top of that the continent was on the brink of war. And since no one really know who or what is Raine it was safer to let her stay on a cozy tavern in the middle of nowhere than having her next to the former Grand Templar.
But yeah Tom's story telling is a bit "over the place" I think that is the technical term. But i respect his decision not to retcon his story and keep working with the limitations he imposed himself so many years ago. Also the comic has a peculiar narrative structure That compounds the issue: Most stories start by explaining the world and setting and then the characters finally set out to do something. Here since our protagonist is amnesiac we have giant holes in world-building and setting which are very slowly filled as the story moves forward.
Thanks! :)
