Drowtales - Comics Set in The Drowtales Universe

Comics Set in The Drowtales Universe

Besides Moonless Age, the site has a number of "supporting" comics that share the same world and features some of the same characters as the Moonless Age comic. Most of these are fairly short and are usually intended to give background information on characters or clans, or expand on the world setting.

• Moonless Age: The feature comic of the site that is pencilled and written by Kern, with assistance from the artists of Drowtales Studio. The beginning of chapter two was colored by three different artists in an attempt to produce a rewrite of the earlier (and discarded) chapters. This is the story of Ariel Val'Sarghress.

• World Setting: A series created to help explain the details of the Drowtales universe.

• The Longest Wait: A completed comic written by Sanjay and drawn by Blackmyst. The entire comic is seen from the perspective of Diva'ratrika the Ill'haress of the Val'Sharen (later known as Vel'Sharen), the imperial clan. The comic takes place some 15 years before Moonless Age and gives some insight into the events surrounding the rise of the tainted as a power to be reckoned with in drow society.

• Spiderborn: A fairly short (22 strips) comic drawn in black and white by the artist Hevia. It gives some insight in the relationship between Mel'Arnach and Quain'tana and details the events surrounding Ariel's birth and subsequent "adoption".

• Demon Painter: An eleven page comic that tells the story of a painter and the wrath of a Vel'Sharen noble. This comic also has a small animation created for it as well.

• Breach of Faith: An ongoing comic by Tranquil, Kern and Sanjay Sarkar featuring Syphile. It gives some insight into the abuse she suffers at the hands of her "sisters" Sil'lice and Mel'arnach and her reasons for hating Ariel. The main plot in the comic revolves around the relationship between Syphile and Awasthi Durral'Lamis (a young male commoner). It has not been updated since October of '05.

• Rebirth: Set before Moonless Age, Rebirth is the story of Chirinide Kyorl'solenurn, a zealot Drowussu Warden. In Moonless Age, it is hinted she is different from the other Drowussu, or gray drow, that populate the underground. In Rebirth her mysterious origin is revealed and depicts why she feels so out of place. It was drawn by many artists over the 50+ pages its two chapters hold, Daymon being the one who drew part of the first chapter and all of the second chapter, finishing the story.

• Soul Fusion: A short (6 pages) unfinished comic (no updates since 2003) drawn by Akiman. It gives some insight into the dimension of the demons and the origins of the demoness Discordia.

• High Treason: A different universe comic, complete.

• Chibi-Tales: Short gag comics included in the Moonless Age comic. The characters are presented in the "super-deformed" style but are dubbed as a "species" called chibi(s). There is at least one Chibi-Tales at the end of each chapter of Moonless Age.
