About

{AUamY Cax!}

Greetings, and I’d like to say “ah-WAH-muh shaw” to you, followed by a smack noise (made by kissing the air). This is how you pronounce “welcome!” in the above transcribed Old Lore, a language of Kaian. I am Maxeem, your guide and translator in this world, but I will mostly get out of the way and let the pictures do the talking. If you learn the faerie languages, you may find extra clues about the world, hidden throughout the story.

It’s a web comic

By visiting and remaining on this site, you agree that you are allowed to view those parts of the story. The world of faerie is not always for children.

These feature local musical artists whose creative opus outside the story you are invited to explore, including members of: Dalmatian Toadflax, Dead Speaker, Koi, Compost Sleeping Bag, Fygar, The Social Service, and Type 2 B Only.

Interact
