b) Onasuma, you didn't actually put the rules you silly paladin. It's the one thing you actually need to put in.
c) More comicy, less posty
d) Squark, that is godmodding at it's worst. You can't just take someone away, especially when they've been here so long. Try a different way into the plot. Which doesn't incapacitate any other characters. It appears that Nameless has dealt with you and your associate.
e) CURSE YOU LAND FISH!!!!
f) Nice comic Mr Saturn, very snazzy.
g) I am no ones lacky!

Alphantica
Originally a desolate desert plain not unlike the nearby Harshrealm Desert, Alphantica was used extensively as a testing site for new magical technologies during the Age of Dragons. As a result, the local climate was irrevocably altered into a freezing tundra almost as desolate as before, and was abandoned by most humanoid races. What remained eventually mutated into the Homo Guinus species of anthropomorphic penguin, and a number of indigenous penguins became capable of higher thought.
A chilly place by nature, but the company is good, and the population has a high percentage of magic-users.

Citadel of Bis Anu
Built by the Erenatl and Grisgol to honour their god Bis Anu, the citadel (Now lost, though recent sightings purport otherwise) was the site of a major battle between it's inhabitants and the Order of Vengeance (See above), and has lain buried for centuries afterwards. Recent activity in the region suggests it may have been located, but no official announcement has been made.

Carbris Jungle
This large island is largely covered in dense jungle, inhabited primarily by the barbaric Treetop Kobolds. Their more-civilised cousins, the Plains Kobolds, inhabit the sparse patches of open ground, to avoid the fickle malevolence of their tree-dwelling relatives.

Elwind Mountains
Home to Dwarves and subterranean Elves (Including Drow and Moonelves), this large mountain range is over 450 miles long. Whilst the Dwarves and Drow are constantly arguing beneath the rock surface, the Moonelves occupy plateaus along the faces of the mountains, where their summer resorts are famed.

Fortress of Vengeance
Founded eight centuries ago by the Order of Vengeance, this lovely stronghold has wonderful views of the ocean and the Elwind mountains, though word has it that the Order has long since died.
The order was founded to combat the increasing population of Grisgol and Erenatl in the nearby Softwind Desert, though they enjoyed many other exploits in their quests.
Sadly, it seems that the Fortress exploded recently, leaving little more than rubble.

Fudge Land
The unfortunately-named Fudge Land was the center of the Moonelf Empire, led by Sildyu and her dragon army millennia ago. Since her demise, it has fallen into ruin and the population is largely monstrous. A small humanoid enclave still exists in the former capital of Stradville.

Golden Forests
This expansive forest group is home to noble the High Elves, who rarely enjoy company.

Grand Tusk plains
Home to the Orc races, the Grand Tusk plains stretch on for hundreds of miles of hilly grassland. It is not a recommended travel destination.

Harshrealm Desert
The largest of the land's two deserts, Harshrealm was named after the first Human to circumnavigate it, Lional Harshrealm. It has a thriving population of Medusae and Gorgons, and is considered a No Man's Land by many travellers

Mesa Canyon
The deepest canyon in the world, few have ever managed to reach the bottom and survive to return to the top.

Pericle Island
A prominent fishing island, Pericle Island is home to Blauport City, a city world-famous for it's tourism and low crime levels. Founded by a member of the now-defunct Order of the Open Palm, her lineage continues to protect the city to this day.

Pixel Islands
The primary population of the small Pixel island chain is comprised of Sprites, especially Pixies, and is said to be a Willy Wonka-esque dazzling place. However, the Sprites endure repetitive civil wars, typically about some minor detail of the landscape or their own culture and its evolution, so the borders have been closed for decades.

Plotgoblin Peninsula
Not many people visit this area, as it is tightly controlled by the indigenous goblinoid population. Those who do manage to get past the borders and back compare it to staff break rooms.

Salmonville
The island home of the odd Flying Landfish, Salmonville (Also known as "The Boot") is known for it's primary export of environmentalist extremists, who object strongly to the fishing of the world's oceans. That, and Not-so-flying Landfish Sushi.

Schizotec Province
This island is inhabited by humans, like it's neighbour, Pericle Island, however the people here are an entirely different sort. They admire the colour red, have an extreme sense of nationality, and believe politically that all men are equal. Because of their nationalism, their borders are almost universally closed, save a few choice entryways where one can access the country, albeit with a full armed guard. The Schizotecians are known to have highly advanced technologies in comparison to other lands, often reminiscent of ancient Tajiran devices.

Softwind Desert
The Western sister to Harshrealm Desert, Softwind is, as it's name implies, far kinder to travelers than Harshrealm. It's monster population is far lower, though rumours of Erenatl and Grisgol living beneath the surface persist since the construction of the now-lost Citadel of Bis Anu. If you don't mind getting sand in...everywhere, building a summer home in Softwind Desert isn't so bad an idea, provided you bring the proper Clerics.

Tajira
Home to the vastly devastated Pikalite people, Tajira has closed its borders to most civilised races, and remains shrouded in mystery since their near-annihilation during the Age of Dragons.

Ainileh - This small coastal country has been at infrequent war with Helina for centuries, even during the Age of Dragons. It is headed by a fascist government supposedly lead by a demigod. Due to this fascism, little is known about the specific details within this country.

Helina - a large, volcanic desert in the far west that is the source of many choatic creations.
While the lands of Helina have no central seats of power, the many warlords and sorcerers around often ally to fight outsiders, usually as raiders.
The technology of Helina is incredibly advanced, they have technological advancement in warfare beyond virtually any other nation, whilst being equal in advancement to "real world" of Earth. However, they have taken other, weird paths, leading to a lack of gunpowder weaponry and combustion engines. Instead they compensate with tesla coils, disc shooters, jetpacks, even goggles that let you predict enemy movements and other advanced combat technology.
Helina was never conquered by the Empire, it was deemed too difficult to be worth, but many Helinan warlords and sorcerers joined up with the Moon Elf Empire, in order to gather, pillage, and generally have "fun in fighting."
Naturally, the Helinan ranks in the Moon Elf army were not uniform, and had very different machines and weapons from squad to squad, as a direct result of their mercenary employment. and some helinan where fighting versus the Moon Elf Empire, again as a result of mercenary activity.

Herea - Herea submitted absolutely and completely to the Moon Elf Empire, and gave them full support. However, as a small nation, they had little to give the empire, they could barely produce enough food to support themselves. As such, Herea was subject to extreme agricultural expansion during the Age of Dragons, covering much of the fertile land with farms. This left the island relatively peaceful within the Empire, to the point that they aren't even aware it has collapsed. However, the growth in foods attracted the creatures that now inhabit the outlying area of Regen. In defense of Herea, is the Order of the Cloaked Flame, a group of xenophobic paladins headed by a Grand Maester priest. Presently, this priest is Sierra Marshall, a clergywoman of Plotus who is said to channel his divine might in defense of all external threats.

Lockutas - One of the short list of nations to stand in opposition to the Moon Elf Empire and survive, Lockutas paid the price for its insolence once it was conquered by attrition. Much of the technology in Lockutas is steam-powered, and they were defeated by the Empire freezing all the water sources in the nation, thus starving them of fuel. This has had a profound effect on the local climate to date, much of the land is still a harsh winterland. Legends of ancient relics from Lockutas' glory days haunt the lips of it's citizens, who yearn for the time when the country was a viable power in politics.

Merinas - A place subjected harshly to necromantic experimentation during the days of the Moon Elf Empire under the supervision of Grand Lieutenant Vex the Malign, it has since fallen largely into ruin save sparse necropoli. Merinas was one of the first countries to fall to the Empire and was gifted to Lieutenant Vex for his part in the Empire's expansion.

Regen - Outside the relatively peaceful land of Herea lies the forsaken Regen. So named for it's massive population of regenerative beasts, such as Hydras, Trolls, and the dreaded Tarrasque that sleeps underground off the coast, Regen is a dense marshland that was left untouched by the agricultural development of Herea. Whilst much of the inhabitants are mindless or tribal, the primary power in Regen is a sentient 12-headed pyrohydra warlord named Polymus, who demands the obedience of his peers by intimidation and brute strength.

Much of the North-West region was left a mystery after the fall, when the destruction of the Dragon Palace erased many of the world maps. Inhabitants seem to have their own sense of direction for the region, but outsiders have little idea what goes on "up west".

If anyone wants to re/name anything, let me know

[Nameless]

Can I rename that little island "tijira" to Fudge Land?

[Almighty Salmon]

We could call the one to the left of Tajira, Salmonshire.

... Just a though.

[Nameless]

Nah, That's pixalmania.

What part of Council of Overgods didn't you understand... You just basicly signed your death warrant. These beings are second only too... nothing. Now, I was trying to be reasonable. It would only be a change of apearance, really. I'm just adding a plot twist.


Oh, did I mention Kheal's an INTERMEDIATE DIETY!!! Also, his scythe is intrinsicly linked with death... You risk making EVERYONE immortal by destroying it. But they'd still experience pain. I said I needed time to get the next few comics up. Just give me that time. While I master Inkscape, I'll get a little think for you to think about. Just let me get it posted.

SCRIPT:

Kheal: Congratz! You just temporarily escaped from a purely mental prison! What you're seeing is actually just a mental construct of what's happening. I could easily turn it into a world of constant torment. Don't think you can escape. Even if you did, you summon the Council of Overgods, who are generally a bit harsher. Do you want to see what oblivion looks like?
Nameless: Only from your perspective.
Kheal: Keep that up and I will make this oblivion.

[Vulion]

Mechafox, I love your comic, though it appears that I have no hands...

1- how can that be? I just reaped someone a few strips ago?
2- you can't just keep adding stuff on, now you're telling me that if you destroy the scythe, it makes everyone immortal
3- everyone is practiclly immortal.
4- I'm really confused...

[Lyinginbedmon]

3- everyone is practiclly immortal.

More accurately, everyone is born with an innate thin layer of plot armor

[Nameless]

lol.

Anyway, there's no one to reap as no one ever dies, as soon as someone dies I'll reap tem, but as I said, I just reaped someone in a nother diamention when God sent me the Memo.

2- you can't just keep adding stuff on, now you're telling me that the scythe makes everyone immprtal

No, the scythe, if broken, would stop break death as well. Dieing people would just spend the rest of eternity in pain. Or at least until the scythe was fixed. And what about Npc's?

Also, they think your preocupation with mortal affairs is interfering with your duties. A Death can reallyonly have one avatar* (And you don't have any, so that's a moot point) doing non-filing, and that is one that's proxied itself down to a rank 1 (Weakest god in existance). You where a test case to see if non-dieties could handle the responsibility. I wish you'd stop forcing me to reveal plot points before the story arc ever happened (This is the NEXT story arc. After all the keys are found and the world is saved/taken over)


*avatar is refering to the diefic ability to create shards of their consciousness. You're not a diety, so you can't make this kind of avatar. Also, please refrain from killing kheal until the real Kheal gets here, ok?


ALSO, its intentionally confusing. I'm trying to act like I was omnipotent.


LASTLY: Didn't you notice the memo box that was overflowing? Wait... It probably looked like a pile of paper the size of the planet.
