'The mortal realm is a nexus - a point of convergence where all six Fundamental Domains overlap.
These dimensional planes are constantly exerting pressure on reality,
Seperated from us, and each other, by the delicate barrier we call the Veil.
But sometimes the Veil frays. Sometimes it tears.
And sometimes... something from the other side comes through.'
- Lunastra the Apostate, Suns, Moons, and Stars

And that brings us to the end of another chapter!
I hope you've been enjoying the journey so far.
I'll be taking a few weeks to recharge the batteries - creating this comic consumes almost all of my free time.
I'm about halfway through the penultimate Chapter 4 at the moment, and will bring the story to conclusion with Chapter 5.
Two other major things:
1) I'll be updating and relaunching the Patreon soon, introducing both a free tier mirroring the comic, and a Novitiate tier for those who just want early pages and access to the community chat. In addition to that, I'll be pumping more content into the Adept tier, including preproduction/concepts for the next story I'm working on - an interplanetary science fantasy adventure called Skyfires.
2) I've just finished a major dialogue pass of the first 3 chapters to tighten the story and improve/fix some characterisation. Barring some possible minor tweaks for clarity, this is the locked version that will eventually go to print (if/when there is enough interest to justify the work involved in converting the colour profiles of each page to CMYK for print... lesson learned for the next book!).
Thank you all for reading, I hope you'll keep exploring this dark fantasy world with me!
