I think the Feral Dog thing is a bit of propogranda/bias on whoevers writing this as a degrotary information.. Who is by the contex of the last page Gastonian and human. Also you can tell by the Author’s use of “our great civilization” etc.
i see syr’nj, but WHO IS THAT SECOND CHARACTER. i know i have seen him somewhere before. . .it seems the sands of time have scoured the memory beyond recollection.
I was imagining something more akin to “This is a drawing of an Elf. Note the defining features . Remember! If you see an Elf, report it to the City Guard! You can’t trust an Elf!”
At first i thought the bat thing was a jab at how elves and vampires tend to mix but after the feral dog bit… just… yeah, humans are propaganda bastards… of course the elves probably think the same things about them.
And then the Gastonian council wonders why it’s so hard for them to ally themselves with the other races. Oh I DON’T KNOW, maybe because Gastonia is the equivalent to Rome?
Yea, Rome seemed to let anyone of any race be a citizen if they fit their criteria. True it wasn’t quite a melting pot but still they seem to be a bit more accepting than Gastonia is.
Rome was pretty good about letting other people into Rome. You just had to speak Roman out in public and pay honor to their god(s). You technically didn’t even have to really worship them, just act like you did.
You didn’t even have to do that really, the Romans weren’t all that serious about religion. They persecuted the Christians because they were a nuisance, not because they were heathens.
I like the way (perhaps not like personally) our lovely gastonians refer to themselves as “Humanity” and not “Humans”, as though they are the supreme beings (of course!) Elves are downgraded to something equal to dogs. “Dogs, Monkeys, Elves. Meh, what’s the difference”
… That this book clearly indicates past and present members of the adventuring party leads me to believe that they were employed to some extent in its creation.
Freakin’ elves.
I didn’t realize Best was an elf. But yeah, i can see the feral dog thing.
A Shit Elf, to be specific.

I donno…he did refute the bats thing in favor of boddymodification on the level of south american skullbinding.
if he hated elves bats are worse than dogs. bats steal our blood, dogs are our buddies.
This MUST be written from human perspective. “Feral Dogs” indeed!
Uh, yeah. They say right below that it’s written for Gastonian children. What wonderful educational material.
Gastonian children must be much smarter than I thought.
Some of the words in that book are not exactly ones I would consider children’s fare. At least…below 12 I guess?

It’s the ‘chosen one’ bard from earlier. The one that’s full of himself.
dakkaface. this sentance is in no way sarcastic at all.
Sarcasm is difficult to detect in text form. It’s the ninja of the internet.
it is totally the ninja of the internet.
Fun fact : Sarcasm isn’t difficult to detect in text-form. Some people are just text-challenged.
Compared to trying to gauge sincerity in regular, in-person conversation, it is piss-easy.
man, you just got to be contrary to everything people say for absolutely no reason, huh?
For the better, no doubt.
Awesome Best drawing, he looks like the elven Elvis. :P
HERETIC! Do NOT blemish the name of the KING by suggesting there might be a vile Elfin impersonator stealing his divine aspect!
Elfis.
Syr’nj looks like she’s from Family Guy here.
She’s got too many fingers for that.
and she’s not doing a minute long version of a ten second joke from the nineties.
Ah propaganda, you have to love it.
Yea, way to steer public opinion, Mr. Writer of Indoctrination Pamphlet.
(Also, feral dogs? Really?)

Oh man. This just oozes bigotry. Every other word is a racist affront to the sensibilities. It’s wonderful.
Pfft. Crazy talk. They are simply stating the facts. Humans are awesome beyond compare.

I dunno, Rome was pretty cosmopolitan from what I gather.

Well, a nuisance, and revolutionaries, and terrorists, And snots, and anarchists, and worst of all, Emperor-Deniers!
FOR THE EMPEROR!
Oh, racism. You so ignorant.
On the plus side, evolutionary theory seems to be a healthy science in Gastonia.
Healthy, but highly inaccurate, it seems.

Dogs are cute, and guard our houses.
Monkeys are funny, and pick our tea.
Elves think they’re SOOOO cool.
Arkerra can do with out them.
You posted this early! GASP!
Nah, they’re just updating everyday this week. There’ll be more tomorrow, and Thursday. Plus the usual Friday.
Best! i miss him :c

Haha, i can almost imagine the aftermath of this teaching aid
“Aaah! Mommy, help! I dont want the wood-elf to turn me into chocolate!”
xD
If elves are descended from wolves, then I like them a whole lot more than I previously did. Even magic-less ones.
