3. The Empress

Author’s Note: There’s so many little bits of lore in this chapter.

Il’Dahn’s name comes from a naming convention that I use occasionally in As Above. Completely made up as far as I know, and there are a few characters who will show up with that pattern. If I remember correctly, I wanted to create a sort of “old sounding” name for La’Silrey to show that some connection to Commons still exists. There’s lots of little things like that I try to include in these stories.

As for the blonde lady, she was a favorite in the first release of this comic! She’s got a name but the way I wrote As Above in a previous draft had me compelled to keep it a secret for now. I don’t know if that spoiler will still be super important in the final draft, but for now she remains a mystery to us. 

However, she and Pan do end up with a strange sort of bond. I don’t know if you can call them friends. Whenever/If ever I tell the full story of Unfortunate, she does come back.

She’ll also have some mentions in As Above. If anyone’s got a guess to who she is, comment below! (:

  1. Man reading the authors note along with this chapter…….
    Only chapter 3 but so much to gather about Pan’s character here. How brash they are, how many assumptions they make, their inability to be honest (staring at what Tri’moon said in the last one, saying Pan always hides their truth). Even when searching for something directly, they can’t even voice it. They go to honest people and can’t be one themselves. I see these seeds youre planting and theyre wounding me I hope you know that
