Fair enough decision. Although the vote might not have gone that way if so many of the idealistic sky elves didn’t die in the conflict. I’m afraid Clair, Hollister, and the others aren’t all that different than those college kids who vastly overestimate their public support. My only question is what became of all the adventurers being detained because they were infected with the berserker disease. I hope Caneghem released them somewhere safe.
PSA: Keep your neocon /r/The_Donald off my website. I’m not interested in having it or a debate on the merits of censorship in a webcomic comment section. I literally don’t get paid enough to put up with either. This isn’t a public fucking forum, this is my house.
We’ve got Winter Elves, Wood Elves, and Elves who’ve lost their magic- “Shit Elves”.
Now that the Sky Elves have split, with the old, selfish ones bitterly leaving and the young, idealistic ones disgusted and now on the ground, perhaps we should rename the two new groups?
Preferably with the former getting a worse term than what we call elves without magic?
They’d still be Sky Elves. Just Self-Exiled Sky Elves, so maybe Ses Elves? Sadly 29 is not enough for a self-sustaining splinter population, without some kind of major intervention. In the long game, unless they can find the Sky Elf cities again, their children (if any) will likely have to find mates among the other races. So there’s going to possibly be a boom in Half-Sky Elves before too long, especially since that crowd of younglings seems to be majority male.
(Future readers: it’s Admiral Annunziata with a huge grin bordering on trollface. I mention this only because it’s one of my favorite GA avatars. He’s saying “Elves! Amirite?”. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.)
Though she hasn’t appeared in two years, and for all I know may have died off-panel, in my heart Saphora is there in the last panels, flipping the isolationists off. ;.;
Here’s what blows my mind. In all of Kingdoms of Arkerra, there were only ever 29 active Sky Elf players. No wonder Hurricane Software is phasing them out.
I think it’s more likely that the influence is going the other direction.
i.e.: because of what the Six are doing to Arkerra, everyone who was playing a landshark just lost access to that character, followed by everyone who was playing a sky elf. For now, some of them are waiting to see where Hurricane’s going with this, but Hurricane’s subscriber numbers are suffering already, and the forums are even more of a flame pit than they always are by default.
In the absence of one, adding: Lots of wood elf players were already aggravated by wood elves being changed from a Gastonian Alliance race to a World’s Rebellion race.
This is partially why in my world I have stolen the fate of a city like this, that is I have stolen it’s proplusion and insured that it falls. Someday of course, not immediately; I am no evil creature. However, such societies deserve to… Fall. Hehehe.
I can’t really blame the Sky Elves. Some assholes come into your nation and convince you to ally with another nation, telling you that it TOTALLY WON’T force your nation into foreign wars, it’s just about trade!! You agree and LOW AND BEHOLD, suddenly sky elves are dying left and right in support of a human war of aggression.
Then the assholes come back and tell you now you need to ally with this OTHER nation, and THIS TIME it’ll all work out, and THIS TIME it’s all about trade partners and stuff!!
Frankly, the Sky Elves are TOTALLY JUSTIFIED in their exodus here. Who the hell would trust these diplomats a second time??
And the younger sky elves just seem like idiots to me… All of them apparently not caring about those who died fighting Gastonia’s wars, naively trusting the same diplomats, AND eager now to fight on the side of the World Rebellion, the side they were eager to fight AGAINST his a short while ago??
I understand the motives of the Sky Elves who gtfo’d to get away from this mess of a war, I don’t understand the side willing to fight, die, and change sides in a war at the drop of a hat.
That’s a good salute!
It’s actually the bird-flu. And as you can see, it’s extremely contagious.
The twenty-one bird salute.
Thanks. I’m way too monday-tired to count them.
I count 44 total fingers. Whether that counts as a higher honor is debatable…
I got 46
That term is offensive to Avians.
Wow, the alt-text works for both pages this update!
And that is how we got the kids off our lawn and preserved this retirement home utopia. Now, who’s up for Sky Bingo?
Square!
Peace among worlds!
Blow me
Alright. *hands over triggered grenade and runs.*
Beautiful!
We present you with this gift: the bird.
It’s really rare too; downright endangered. See? Only two left!
Half of them gave the Sky Elves the peace sign.
No, wait – ALL of them gave the S.E.’s HALF the peace sign.

in our world, that means peace among worlds
Y-you gotta *burp* you gotta hide this bo*burp*dy for me, Carol.
I never do this but now I must:
This is an Official Phil Kahn Fanart Request for Rick & Morty-ized HR & Carol.
“This” is why Frigg refused to ascend to godhood…way too much defying left to do on the earthly plane…f*ck the man!
The fact that Syr’nj went in on it as well had me laughing harder than any other part of today’s comic.
“I’ve told them it means peace on earth”
Their parents told them they are grounded for a century.
oh yes she Friggin’ can XD
The best page ever
This… This might be my favorite page of the comic.
All things considered, that is showing proper respect for their sacrifice.
I got a good laugh out of Frigg’s…Frigg-ness this morning. Thanks!
“I hope he can see this ’cause I’m doing it as hard as I can.”

Thank you.
lol nice
I just luuuuuuuuuuuuuv your plot twists. Luv that you must read all our readers comments and call em as you see um.

They’re totally gonna get eaten by monsters.
I should not be laughing as hard at your comment as I am, BUT I AM…..
The avatar helps. :)

That last panel chain is glorious.
This was the most hilarious page of all. Fuck Sky Elves, fuck Canegheim, and fuck Gastonia. Also, love how Clair is giving both barrels there.

One of the best pages by far.
Frigg’s a good role model as usual.
Bravo on managing the suddenness of the juxtaposition between enthused voting and depressed eviction in a still image format.
And once again we see our holy Frigg leading the people to glory and righteousness.
Rachel would be proud.
I am loving the glance between Syr’Nj and Frigg in panel 3, when Frigg is saying what Syr’Nj is thinking.
Elfxit.
Though she hasn’t appeared in two years, and for all I know may have died off-panel, in my heart Saphora is there in the last panels, flipping the isolationists off. ;.;
I got so distracted by the banning stuff, I forgot to say what I came here to say:
This page literally literally made me Laugh. Out. Loud. XD
(Extra specific because y’know, “literally” means “not literally” and “LOL” means “smile”, grumble grumble kids these days.)
Here’s what blows my mind. In all of Kingdoms of Arkerra, there were only ever 29 active Sky Elf players. No wonder Hurricane Software is phasing them out.
Nah, that’s just how many were currently in the sky elf capital.
Have you been to Quel’thalas recently in World of Warcraft? If you can find 29 people there at once across all English servers, it’s a miracle.
I think it’s more likely that the influence is going the other direction.

Sure would be nice to have an edit button here.

One very curvy and enthusiastic sky-elf at the back.
And now she has a sky-elf following as well.
Frigg just makes friends everywhere, y’know?
