My comment for this page from Gaia: sic mundus creatus est: The cult is after Sandril and Dyson because they're now in possession of Arathor's sword Lightbringer. Eldor knows that it's one of the few things that can permanently destroy his body. Powree really outdid [...]

My comment for this page from Gaia: sic mundus creatus est: When writing the story for Gaia, I didn't think about anything as long and hard as I thought about what should happen to Ilias and Viviana in Greendew. For a long time, my plan [...]

My comment for this page from Gaia: sic mundus creatus est: A reader correctly guessed that I got the idea for this scene after playing Long Live the Queen. Don't let the cute graphics fool you.

[SPOILER] Click here to see my commentary for this page! My comment for this page from Gaia: sic mundus creatus est: The flow of the facial expressions in the last two panels is just perfect, starting with Viviana's optimistic smile over Joril's sly grin to Viviana's disgruntled frown.

My comment for this page from Gaia: sic mundus creatus est: The wall around the Great Tree plays a role in Eldor's soul extraction spell as seen in page #172.

My comment for this page from Gaia: sic mundus creatus est: Eldor presented the painting to show Viviana & Co. that he's not only in control of the Shadowkeep (aka Crystal Fortress), but of the whole situation.

My comment for this page from Gaia: sic mundus creatus est: Eldor made sure that Olrik held his speech before Savos since he wasn't sure about the consequences of humiliating Savos that way. Eldor prefers his enemies weak, but not crushed, since that could make [...]
