Wielder of Names 6-111
Lord Intra gathered his retainers, who were hungry for tutelage. “Lord Intra!” said his sandal bearer, “What is the first step on the path to Royalty?”
“There are no steps,” replied Intra, “It is zero-sum with your reality. It is not measured in finger-lengths.”
“Lord Intra,” said his bodyguard, “Is the path to Royalty the path of struggle, then?”
“No,” said Intra, “One may attain it without any effort at all. It is, in fact, the antithesis of struggle.”
Intra’s steward was very discontent with his master’s evasiveness. “Lord,” he said, “Allow us lowly men some small measure of understanding. For sympathy’s sake, and the sake of we good and loyal servants, please tell us in plain language the nature of Royalty.”
“I will tell you precisely what Royalty is,” said Intra, “It is a continuous cutting motion.”

I have a feeling Juggers here is gonna want a big fancy new suit of armor to compensate for this humiliating loss.
And perhaps a nice cup of tea
Wow. Just completely awesome all around.
The pacing in the panel sizes is just musical, and that last panel is a mighty crescendo.
I wasn’t able to view this comic this morning, because the site had gone over it’s bandwidth allowance.
Now, I know why.
Favorite panel of the series.
The worm is bifurcated. Do the halves still wriggle?
If testimony on pages past is to be believed, they immolate.

I think i’m in love with this swordswoman
Love is a tale that ends in sadness always. Best to avoid it.
I remember the saying earlier:
“Woe be he that mistakes the rider for the steed”
We might not yet be on v7.0.
The art of cutting is a fine one indeed. This humble Sledge has never had the knack nor precision required. It instead applies the art of crushing with one’s fists, and it is very good at such things, in its own humble opinion.
A passing without a blade causes the passing of many blades?
Pity he upon whom such blades fall
For a sundered sword shall sunder all
It seems like Maya has a large scarred patch on her head, which was formerly covered by the sweep of her pinned hair. I suspect there is a story behind that.
…I feel that carrying a plush doll or other purchased image of this splendid knight would cure my anxiety, depression, paranoia, and bad dreams, because ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WOULD FUCK WITH ME EVER AGAIN.
MY WORD!!! I must report this story to the highest authorities of my order! How is it that I, a bard of the grand library athenaeum, has not heard of this story? I must return for each and every and all update, as each story must be recorded and told and remembered. I do hope that this may go unpunished.
And the wee mortal looked, and saw that the artistry of Abbadon was glorious, and it caused a flame of inspiration to rise in them. And they eagerly planted themselves before the feet of Abbadon to learn all that there was to learn of the magic of Abbadon’s talent.
That…is going to leave a mark.
The sanctioned action is to cut.
The forbidden deed is to mend.
It is not difficult to understand why this is the case. In a world composed primarily of lies, the ability to unite the fragments of TRUTH that reside within all things (for every lie is based upon a kernel of TRUTH) can be even more destructive than the ability to divide one thing from another.
Consider: a master of division may separate God from his head; an apprentice mender can reunite God and his head; a master mender may meld herself with the very nature of divinity, and ascend beyond Royalty.
Needless to say, the very tenants of the Craft of Mending are heresies most abominable, for they hold that YISUN was not the creator of the multiverse, but rather its destroyer.
Dronral the Thrice Condemned first proposed this dreadful philosophy, and for it was executed on no fewer than a dozen occasions, with some sources claiming he met his demise over four score times in the course of millenia. He put forth that there was once a world of TRUTH, where no Art could shift the nature of things, where all was of perfect form and was in accord with its nature. YISUN, he contends, was the perfect and TRUE form of division, and was inspired by the beauty He saw in this world to try His hand at creation. As His nature, was division, not creation, He failed miserable, and in a terrible rage, shattered the TRUE world. Beholding what crime He had committed in His rage, YISUN turned his division inward, and split His own TRUTH, and became YIS and UN, both liars. With this broken TRUTH, they formed the shattered remains of the TRUE world into the realm of lies we now inhabit. Dronral therefore characterizes the Craft of Mending as undoing the sins of God.
All accounts of his many executions make a point of how incredibly painful they were.
I want this whole page as a poster. Want is the most powerful force, so it must happen, right?
Hi there this is kind of of off topic but I
was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or
if you have to manually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but
have no coding knowledge so I wanted to get advice from
someone with experience. Any help would be enormously appreciated!
HOLY CRAPCAKES!!
holy shit, did she just kill an angel? That’s supposed to be difficult, right?

Fantastic blog! Do you have any tips and hints for aspiring writers? I’m planning to start my own website soon but I’m a little lost on everything. Would you propose starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I’m completely overwhelmed .. Any suggestions? Many thanks!
