Oh no, a government that’s out of touch with its people. How could such a thing be?
I’m not quite sure how were the skelves “forced” to break their isolation. I remember them considering pros and cons of getting involved but technically they could’ve stayed out of the war if they really wanted to.
I believe it was something along the lines of “help the gastonians or face a break in relations plus whatever savage races come for your heads”. Remember waaay back when the peacekeepers threatened to fuck them up? Also, I bet those snobbish governmental leaders couldn’t wait to show off the “superiority” of the sky elves.
I guess ‘forced’ in the sense that the diplomats sent to them (Frigg, Bandit, and Syr’Nj) all-but threatened violence if the sky elves didn’t ally themselves with Gastonia (and that violence could have come from either the World’s Rebellion or the Gastonians).
Or in this scenario they might feel threatened because a few of their mages deciding to teleport an army there (already inconvenient) opened the door for temporary military occupation of their hometown. I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if troops were left there to ensure continued cooperation (it’s the kind of thing history has seen before on our earth).
I’m wondering the same thing given both of her feet are supposed to be burnt down to the bone. Perhaps the injury was over-exaggerated or maybe it was just one foot?
Yeah, only recall her right foot getting burnt, and seeing how her leather boots were still on when she was crawling for revenge… severely blistered probably, but hardly ‘burnt down to the bone’ (which was just an assumption, or bluff, on Maggies part)
Neither do I, however, I know that, in theory, dousing your hand in water is enough to give you a brief moment of molten-lead-proofing. So, maybe, MAYBE the kentucky-fried skin and boiled skin gravy (and their inherent boiling point) would be just enough to protect the bone and some muscle tissue in a convenction-schmonvenction universe. (In real life, anything abouve 800ºC/3500 or something in imperial Farthings would be just enough to burn you like a fuse. Anakin had it easy)
Ug. I get that they’ve been isolated for years and that the Peacekeeper’s have ended that, and it is something that might be celebrated in time…
But honestly, who the hell would be EXCITED and lavish praises upon the people who dragged them into a war were their friends, family, and kinsmen will die to serve primarily foriegn interests?? Apparently these two have no relatives in the military…
Gee, thanks for ending our people’s isolationist policies in a violent, bloody, and ultimately selfish manner!!
I like how everyone in this comic hates the humans. The only races that aren’t actively trying to wipe them out are only not doing so because they hate the people doing the exterminating MORE.
Which is a fairly realistic depiction of humans in a fantasay world, if you ask me. I mean, we managed to oppress each other for thousands of years – how do you think we’d treat other “intelligent” species?
Frigg is my D&D spirit animal/guide….although I highly doubt she would be good at the job…….hrrrmmm. I can just see it now….”Hold on guys I need to consult my spirit animal/guide.” *Frigg* “No. Just fuck off. I am not doing this today. Just fuck all of the offs right now.” *Me* “…..Nevermind let’s just continue….”
I suspect Frigg would probably be turned off by that suggestion taken literally.
Cans of OFF! don’t make for very good partners.
Better blown by OFF! than sucked by mosquitoes.
Aside from the gray hair, the far-right elf in panel two looks reeeeallly familiar… Can’t put my finger on it though.
He has Iwatani’s nose (and other facial features) I think.
Feels like everyone looks like Iwatani.
The Iwatani family understands the value of political marriages… and the offspring they produce.
It’s amazing that the game devs hadn’t been reusing character models more often!
That’s one of the selling features, such an incredibly robust character customization system.

But really, I think they’re just full of hot air.

Rachel, the chief proponent of “Friggism”, having a “Friggasm”.
She’s the best part of this page.
With fierce competition from Psycho-smiling Purple-clad Elf Lady.
If those two ever team up to get The Frigg… will be much hilarity and fun :D
Ooooh. FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! :D
Was thinking more along the lines of girly gang-banging, but they may have to Poke-a-moan out of her arse first, you know, wear her down a bit first
I still like Bandits bewildered look a teensy bit more.
Now I’m feeling sorry for E-merl, for some reason.
I’ll have one of those, please!
Aren’t you a little greedy? From your face, you are having one already. And Frigg isn’t anywhere close to a chess board this time.
Hyess…
I’d say she’s more likely to be in Friggstacy
Transforming society is not a Magick trick, unless you’re going by Erfworld rules… ;)
“Perhaps you’d like to read these pamphlets I have here.”
Fangrrl!!
“Here, I can show you how much you’ve changed our society. See this stick? Just three hours ago it was up the Archmage’s backside.”
How is that one crutch helping Frigg get around on her poor ruined feet?
Is it a magic crutch?
I’m wondering the same thing given both of her feet are supposed to be burnt down to the bone. Perhaps the injury was over-exaggerated or maybe it was just one foot?
They are in an Elven magic floating kingdom in the sky.
Hard to believe they could of accelerated her healing, probably with a potion not less.
Only one foot got burned iirc.
Yeah, only recall her right foot getting burnt, and seeing how her leather boots were still on when she was crawling for revenge… severely blistered probably, but hardly ‘burnt down to the bone’ (which was just an assumption, or bluff, on Maggies part)
Maybe Maggie doesn’t know how heat works.

And all the ons, too!
Man, these young elves, think they know what’s best for society when they’re only, what? 160? They’re practically babies!
…anyone else notice the “witch bobby pins” behind Rachel? Like the ones Hazel from Loony Toons left behind…?
“Call it a weakness. Eeeehhhh! heh heh heh!”
Now you have me thinking about Rachel wearing bloomers and cackling.
Fuck all of the Offs. Yes. Frigg is such a poet. *Adds to phrase book*
I will NEVER be in a position to say it, but; “Fuck ALL of the offs” will remain one of my favorite things for a long time!
I don’t see the Silver Centurion, but then again he seems to come and go as he pleases.

I like how everyone in this comic hates the humans. The only races that aren’t actively trying to wipe them out are only not doing so because they hate the people doing the exterminating MORE.
In fairness, the humans in the setting–or at least the dominant human nation–are kind of huge imperialist a-holes.
Which is a fairly realistic depiction of humans in a fantasay world, if you ask me. I mean, we managed to oppress each other for thousands of years – how do you think we’d treat other “intelligent” species?
That would first require us admitting that they are ‘intelligent’, or at least on the same level as us
They never said being a hero would INSPIRE people!
I may want to steal fuck all of the offs for future use…
Just make sure you don’t make a typo and start fucking all of the oafs :P
Isolation … the other name of total indifference to neighbouring countries being ransacked, and their nations enslaved.

I thought Rachel was being sarcastic… just me?
