Small updates and contest closed!
**UPDATES**
The color page will be up Friday!
Greetings supplicants.
Normally I won’t do this for the main comic, however this beast is of a totally different stripe, as you can probably tell, and rather than leave you strung out for another few days, I will leave you with this, and the colors will most likely come Thursday or Friday. Chapter 4 will kick off next week on Wednesday as usual. Although I can’t make any promises, and certainly won’t given my track record for deviating from easily planned and drawn pages into ridiculous Where’s Waldo/Barlowe’s Inferno mashups, the next part of the comic will be much faster paced and should update a little faster.
I received well over 100 submissions for the Gods and Goddesses contest! That is excellent. There was also quite a few art submissions, which is also excellent. As of this post, the contest is closed, but don’t let that deter you from sticking cool stuff in the tumblr anyway. If you have story/character ideas please put them in there. Fiction is ok to, as long as its concise and well written.
With that, we’ll start the fourth chapter of the comic. Hopefully, although things are a little bit bizarre, they make some sort of basic sense. If you’re still confused, or have any interesting lore/plot questions, feel free to stick them in the comments! There will be a bit more denouement and things will become increasingly clearer as the comic rolls on.
May you reach concordance,

Concordance does not mean truth.

Questions, hm? I have a thousand, to fill my scrolls, but being a gentleman I must restrain myself to one:
How does one distinguish a Perciever from a Sustainer, coming upon one or the other on a black glass road?
The Multiplicity forged four kinds of Inheritors. The first two, the Protectors, (the white sons of UN and the Cold White Flame) and the Destroyers (the white daughters of YS and the Hot Black Flame) I am sure you are familiar with. The other two are more nuanced.
The Sustainers, also known as the Servants, are the black sons of UN. They were crafted solely by Dek, the Keeper of Existence. Taking the form of men of glass, stone, or crystal, they are numerous in Throne and the Void, it being their natural home. They are, like their older brothers, the Angels, incapable of Lying, but of great physical prowess. Their original role was to serve the Gods in the Red City and serve as caretakers for existence. The Demiurges were quick to exploit their natural inclination for honor and servitude, and many of them became jaded and abandoned their callings. Today, as many serve cartels and cabals as roam the multiverse as knights and merchants.
The Perceivers are the black daughters of YS. They are the most numerous form of being in the multiverse, and the seeds of life that spawned them were crafted lovingly by their dark mothers. They were the last form of Inheritor created, and take a chaotic range of forms and appearances. They are far and above the most beloved of the Gods, for the Gods imparted upon them alone the Holy Gift of Death. Their most cherished role is to Perceive existence and exalt YSUN through their imperfection. The Demiurges, the most infamous group of Perceivers, strive against this, however, and may yet succeed.
Oh man, Barlowe’s inferno is so freakin’ cool. You could definitely do worse than draw inspiration from that.
Look man sometimes you just gotta put some chicken fat in the thing, it’s okay.
I feel like i have a basic idea of what’s going on though maybe I should go back and read a big chunk of pages before saying that for sure…
You are giving birth to the most inspiring journey I came across in a long time. Cannot wait, gratefully, for the next step…
