        Forecast for next winter: cat-and-dog weather.

      I thought Karmakat’s involvement in the plot was dead and buried in the past… -_-

    So both the Peacemakers and the Savage Champions (savage might be unfair, but just calling them “Champions doesn’t feel right somehow. They need an adjective gosh darn it) will be questing to gain an alliance with the Winter Elves? Kind of like how end game WoW will often involve both sides doing quests for a neutral third party rather than their own faction.

    Your kind will never know peace, maker Arfa.
    peace, maker Arfa.
    peacemaker Arfa.

    Theres no way thats not intentional, but I cant figure out what its meant to hint at.

      The way she reacted to being called “Maker” it makes me think it’s a very specific title amongst her people and ether one of great power or one that is of ill omens.

        My interpretation is that she knows its meant to mean something important (because obviously), but can’t figure out what exactly. But I suspect that we will find out how she read that when she tells the rest of the war council.

          If she bothers to tell the war council. This might be something she chooses to consult other fuzzy peoples on instead. After all, she doesn’t like or trust most of the war council as it is.

        It means that she produces an addictive, life-extending, premonitorily psychedelic drug from her body, hates water, and is kinda fat.
        It’s the last part which upset her.

      What if the text of the word bubble is meant to convey how she understood it, but Karma really said “Your kind will never know peacemaker Arfa?” If this scene is a portent, she may be spurred to become a Peacemaker because her people were killed off almost wholly, and thus they will not know her. Or she’s exiled and then becomes a peacemaker.

    “Winner revels”? Or “Winter revels?”

    —

    Off-topic: This made me review the story of Karmakat. I looked it up using the character tags and it led me to Karmakat’s Guild-ization page. Just realized there are other fan-made characters we haven’t seen yet.

      “Winner revels” made me think of the feasts and dances they had after the fighting tournaments, like the ones Auraugu championed.

        I’d expect revels to be victory rather than winner unless gnolls eat a lot of sausages when reveling.

        If it qualifies as a scream, human hears would be able to hear it. Maybe you meant frequency/pitch?

    These visions continue for a little while until finally Karmakat just says “NORTH. GO TO THE NORTH. THE WINTER ELVES. WRITE IT DOWN.”
