    Seeing Gonn Orta makes me miss the Old Man of the Mountain. 🙂

    Gonn Orta is even bigger than I remembered!

    Lionfish has clearly learned nothing from his last aside.

    (sotto voce) “I’ll come along too, but i think you are all thoroughly mad…”

    “I HEARD THAT!”

      Heh. I think Lionfish is working on staking out his positions as “The Only Sane Man” and “Deadpan Snarker” for this team. ^_^

    So, I’m still learning my way around Glorantha, so forgive my cluelessness – but this Lionfish is an initiate/devotee of some darkness-aligned deity, right? So – associated with Trolls? Is he considered an Orlanthi, or is he of some other ethnic/pantheonic group? I’ve read a bit about a group of humans called Kitori(sp?), but they’re gone by this point, or?

    Love the comic. 🙂

      He’s a follower of Argan Argar, God of Surface Darkness. He’s worshipped in the Holy Country (where the Kitori were instructed by his son the Only Old One), and in some other places. If a human were to follow any darkness deity, this is by far the most socially-acceptable choice. 🙂

      Lionfish is Esrolian, so he is an Orlanthi (he still participates in the general worship ceremonies to Ernalda and Orlanth. Or he would, if was home anyway), though his upbringing is different than that of people in Sartar or Heortland.

      Beyond that, as Bruce points out, he is a worshiper of Argan Argar, and a trader – he is not really a Kitori though, as those are the personal agents of the Only Old One. They are neither human nor troll nor darkness spirit, but something inbetween, and can change their forms to any of those, along with other darkness-related powers. Lionfish is, on the other hand, just a guy who rans a semi-regular trading mission to Pavis, the easternmost Sartarite cities near Prax and then back to Nochet.

      How he got roped into working for the local rebels we may never know. 🙂

        One expects that the Lunars inspected (confiscated) his trade goods and it left him less then sympathetic to them.

    This is all tremendous stuff.

      A panel of Coppertop wouldn’t be gilding the lilly…

      Tremendous, tremendous. Gigants love me, and you know what, I have been very successful. Everybody loves me.

    Fascinating stuff, that (so far) confirms the IMG reality that the Argraths were opportunistic, narcissistic backstabbers. I mean, even according to this testimony, we’d assume ‘his own people’ (ha!) were counting on the Cauldron. And in fact we all know(tm[IMG]) what he meant for that baby and what would have happened to it, if the Lunars hadn’t managed to deliver it to Her Roseate Bosom.

    I’m liking Kalin’s artwork more and more. I mean, it was impressive and distinctive from the first page; but I really was weirded out by the lack of human elbows/knees/wrists/shoulders/hips in the first chapter or two. (I mean, I love my tentacular kin, but at least they have the dignity of suckers and the freedom from vertebrae.) The last half year, or so (?), I just see a huge increase in a sense of picturing, or painting, or whatever, and a withering away of the comic-book/graphic-novel elements. I don’t think I can be a fan of the medium, yet, but I’ve _really_ enjoyed, been impressed by, and been ‘fired up’ by all five chapters (so far!).

    I was grateful for the disappearance of the rubberhosing.
