THE THROULS
A throuly sapper preparing havoc
The throuls were migrants from the western parts of the empire and derive from the thorols, who were known for their excellent brewing and cooking skills, partly due to their gluttonous attitude. Some special recipes were known to give enhanced powers to the consumer and were used during raids. After their mass conversation to the Faith, their skills expanded into chemistry, medicine, biology and other similar sciences. They were the first to mass produce black powder and managed to process metals and minerals that were otherwise thought to be useless by most.
The throuls in particular were a major asset to St. Sabileus' millitia. Without them, the troops would have been at a major technological disadvantage and the lack of good meals would have surely killed all moral.
THE OVCHOR TRIBES
An ovch traveler observing nature
The mighty ovchi are tribesmen that reside in the mountains and plains of the cold north-east. Besides their skills in shaping the stones around them and their participation in the war on the side of the morgs, what's fascinating is that they are direct descendants from one of the few esavian tribes that split away in search for better pastures, before the battle for Yarosal.
Before the morgs came west, these tribes were thought as nothing more than rumors and crazy tales from far land merchants. After the war, many explorers went to the ovchi to record what they could from their oral tradition and to get clues for where the other "lost tribes" might be.
problems with posting images
Whenever i try to post an image, i get an error, saying:
Could not remove EXIF data.
another outcome is the post technically goes through processing, but it sends you at the bottom of the thread, only to show you that there is no new post.
the images that i tried posting were screenshots (for this post) and scanned images
Lunch's ready!

the exhausted one replied in return. She's quite annoyed of that dish being served most, if not all, of the time. If only she could get her hands on some... chocoladekruidnoten
to broaden her mood. Sadly they have become quite the rarity these days. Some even treat them as gold.
The oekaki story has been moved to its own thread at
>>>/oc/215
the three posts will be moved there
Here are the rules:
- Anybody can continue it by making the next panel using one oekaki drawing.
- An individual cannot make two story posts one after another. He has to wait for another user to continue, unless nobody has done so for a week.
- He has to tag the previous story post. Not doing so will count the post as meta discussion (i.e. not affecting to the story).
- In the case that two posts by two different users continue the same latest story post, the current participants vote on which post will be the continuation. The individual who didnt won does not have a post penalty (as described in point 2)
- Any rules may be added or changed if its necessary
I will begin the story:
Once upon a time, there was a humble cottage house on a small hill...

this and another one are inked, but currently i dont have a scanner at home. I also have one sketch ready to be inked. I think I will do a bunch or finish all of the pieces I want to do and I will post them here. Then I will make the layout for the pages to make them look fancy (probably will be digital).
The pieces I want to do are the following:
- A bunch more showing the main ethnicities of the 4 factions
- A map that shows the political reality and geography during the time of the events
- Some misc like animals/minor ethnicities/magic/etc
- Important characters
- 4 pieces portraying the key events (i.e. 4 chapters, each from the perspective of one of the 4 major factions)
Not sure if i've said it, but morgs, ovhcars, yakovites etc are all supposed to be human ethnicities. In this world the limits of diverseness are broader and thus there are ontological morgs that do have exceptionally large lower teeth or ovchars with physical characteristics that are analogical to that of sheep. HOWEVER, whether or not an ovchar actually has a face of a sheep or the drawings are a result of portraying colorful language in the source text (will get to that in a bit) and thus in reality an individual looks like a human with curly hair/fur, something that looks like horns (maybe a part of their dress code, not a genetic mutation) and maybe a little hint of sheep facial characteristics IS SOMETIMES UP TO QUESTION. This also implies to some other elements like animals.
As for the text itself, its a commentary of a text that tries to gather and present historical sources for an event. Basically a guy talks about/translates the work of another guy, who tries to tell the story of an older event. I bit similar to how Tolken did it. So we have:
- The translator, a soyantist who lives in "the current times"
- The source gatherer, a monk who refers to himself as "the Hinny" and lived a couple of centuries ago
- The sources, which are tales, first-hand writings, epics, songs etc. some lost to time and found in the Hinny's work.
Due to changes in the world, some of Hinny's writings are seen as overexagurations, fake or fictional by some (even if the monk and his sources treat a majority of the information as facts). The translator tries to be as "neutral" as possible, when giving a commentary.

one idea that i had for zigle zogle was for the two supporting characters to be imaginary, sort of the two extremes of the MC (sort of the representatives of love and justice).
not sure if exactly this could work for her story, but some similar concept. would be happy to help in some form.
you mean as a separate comic or to include her in your "main" project?
Lora could be a MC to a slice of life comic.

my firefox is fine, but my librewolf makes the problems. since the latter disables a good chunk of stuff for privacy sake, my presumption is that something critical to oekaki is disabled
take that as you will...

oekaki might not work properly on some browsers (like librewolf)
hold on, i was experiencing problems. will draw you some food in a bit
yeah, ok for now i will draw offsite and larp as if its oekaki :(
I will begin the story. Anybody can continue it, but will have to make the next panel using one oekaki drawing. An individual cannot make two posts one after another. He has to wait for another user to continue. Also he has to tag the previous post. In the case that two posts by two different users tag the same previous post, due to bad timing, the current participants vote on which post will be the continuation.

Sorry for the downtime again.
I will take what i need to the new place and I hope such events wont happen soon.
