The monk who blinded herself that gave Rachel a beating on a couple occasions. http://guildedage.net/tag/Tamara/ Odd that Frigg would choose to contact her. Perhaps to let her know about Rachel?
Yeah, she specifically sent a letter to the one person who wouldn’t be able to realize that she actually can’t write and just sent a bunch of squiggles.
And so began the War of the Awkwardly Complimented Garments that snuffed the lives of millions of snowflakes and skyrocketed the price of winter clothing for generations to come.

My, my; I just binge read this; it took me around eight hours because I’m really, really bad at getting distracted. This was marvelous! And I cannot wait… To see what FATES they have in store! BUWAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA.
Are we sure those two aren’t winter elves themselves, and the winter elves have already decided to help? Or known they were coming and are testing them or something? That would be funny…
The stuff they’re saying seems like personal knowledge… AND somewhat of an example of what they’re warning about (particularly that last panel regarding “catching them in a paradox”).
Winter elves look physically different from high elves, so I think we’d know. I feel like if they were glamoured or something, some other high elf would have noticed, too.
Betcha the Winter Elves will be there to meet Our Heroes at the other end of the teleport. They’re omniscient, so they’ve got to know what will happen if HR gets his way, and they probably don’t want the world to end or anything.
Damn it, Hollister, now I’m getting my Back to the Future and Terminator references all mixed up.
“The winter elves are out there! They can’t be paradoxed! And they absolutely will. Not. Read. Your tea leaves. EVER. Until you’ve asked them where they bought their fabulous shoes.”
“When these babies hit 88 miles a day… you’re gonna see some serious shit!”
“Oh, I’ve already seen it. Compared to some other animals of similar size, they seem to waste very little of their nutritional intake.”
Honestly, when I first read Hollister’s tip on talking paradoxes, I though he said, “DO try to catch them in a paradox. They hate that!”, like it was some sort of practical joke.
His actual intent is closer to this page though. (Caution: while the specific link below is safe, Oglaf does have some more mature content in it’s other pages)
Long time lurker, not sure if I’ve ever posted before, just finished yet another archive binge. And got to say, absolutely love this story. The characters, the art, and yes, even the pun filled comment section. It’s extremely well done, and much appreciated. I can’t wait to see where all this winds up. Now, I’m back to working on the old time machine so I can jump forward and finish this. =) Much <3
Wait, who’s Tamara?
The monk who blinded herself that gave Rachel a beating on a couple occasions. http://guildedage.net/tag/Tamara/ Odd that Frigg would choose to contact her. Perhaps to let her know about Rachel?
Also, she decided to contact her via letter despite the recipient being blind…
Yeah, she specifically sent a letter to the one person who wouldn’t be able to realize that she actually can’t write and just sent a bunch of squiggles.
Possibly, though maybe someone can read it to her.
Don’t forget the Energ-eyes-her bunny, that Tamara might’ve been draining, when last we saw her.

Little did they know the Prada of their Yves.
When Tamara reads Fridge’s letter, she’ll –
Waitaminit. Tamara’s blind.
Frigg. DYAC!
That’s what I thought.
It’s okay, Frigg knows Braille.
She is skilled at putting a series of bumps onto surfaces.
Usually caused by swelling, after blunt force trauma.
I can just imagine her writing out brail by repeatedly bashing the underside of a surface with her mace…
I imagine she’ll just have someone read it too her.
If it sits on a shelf for 100 updates, completely ignored, I’m going to be moderately amused.
Who ever did today’s alt-text deserves a raise.
I just wonder how long they’ve been waiting to bust out that alt text, lol.
I feel like it’s the second time we’ve had this one, but I can’t remember when the first time was, if so.
I concur with the praise. Will there be a glorious spring?
I think they’ve done a “winter of our discontent” text before, but I didn’t get joke deja vu so I’m guessing it was a little different.
I’ll blame that it’s 5am, but I don’t remember who Tamara is. Damn.
Well, right now, she’s my avatar. (Sorry, future readers!)

Time is an illusion, lunch-time doubly so. Who’s to say that right now when that comment was time-stamped isn’t still right now right now?
Talking to Winter Elves? Just chill, man.
*Sighs* Someone’s gotta say it…
Winter is coming…
Winter is here!
One does not simply *walk* to the wood elves; a teleport helps.
My god, Seam Bean absolutely would play Ardaic in the television adaptation of this.
Nah…Ardaic’s lived way too long.
Wow. Yes!

Do the thing, Zhu Li.

Next time, choose a mount with smaller front spoilers.
Never ask the Elves about the weather, for they will say it is both fair and foul.

Welcome to the front lines. Keep your head down as punshells rain down constantly. It is savagery of the lowest order.
WAV’s bit bucket is leaking.
Maybe he just wants to forget how cold that wind is.
