    I like all the runes. They are everywhere.

    Wait, did Samastina’s eyes go from brown in the third channel to green in the fourth? So … I’m calling magic?

      Hazel?

        Sure, hazel – but in the fourth panel they look an intense green to me, as opposed to brown/hazel in the third. Colour can be quite subjective, I recognise, so maybe it’s just what I’m seeing.

    Samastina’s sense of decorum and tact is clearly well-developed. 🙂

      Heh. Pretty clear that decorum and tact have nothing to do with winning a cat fight. Her elders would probably have filibustered away the audience time if she hadn’t stuck up for herself just now. ^_^

    So how long after Belintar’s death would this be? I assume it took some time to realize he wasn’t coming back.

      According to Chapter 47, this takes place in 1621, five years after Belintar’s death. The realization that he wouldn’t come back came with the futile attempt to have a Tournament of the Masters of Luck and Death that year or early 1617. Hendira is likely to have participated in that event, as are the other six worthies who appeared before the Godking in the initial scenes of chapter 3.

    Really enjoy this story line.. The artwork, just to restate the obvious, is flipping amazing!

    Honey, you may well “be no child,” but in that dress you’re clearly no Mother either.

      I’m assuming it’s an earned right… no children, no showing of breasts.

        Samastina’s sister has her breasts covered while she plays the boardgames with her mother, while Keva has hers’ showing (so she might have had a child). I’m guessing, but it makes sense.

    There’s obviously some age related thing about the blue lipstick going on too.

      It appears to be a status item, but isn’t restricted to the grandmothers of a house, since Samastina’s mother wears it, too. Unlike the tattoos, this has to be some pigment applied to the skin via some salve or similar. I would guess that they use azurite, a copper ore, that slowly transforms into malachite, or otherwise powdered blue coral traded from the merfolk. In either case, the pigment would be expensive.

        Azurite is blue, while malachite is a green (both copper oxides though). It’s interesting that as the women get older they paint first the lower lip, then both.

          It could also be a cult rank determinator… but there again the queen only has her bottom lip painted, which sort of says to me that it’s an age/generation marking rather than a cult rank marker.
