Re: Unsounded II: Two Wrights Can Mend A Wrong
We had a title drop back before the nevergreen got Silver'd, when Duane was reading the book of Ssael.
As for its meaning, context leans me towards its nautical usage.Last edited by NEO|Phyte; 2017-02-01 at 11:44 AM.
Man this thing was full of outdated stuff.

Re: Unsounded II: Two Wrights Can Mend A Wrong
Yet I really can't blame any readers or prostitutes for not remembering that one. (I didn't.)
I'm leaning toward it being metaphorical, though. Didn't Duane or someone talk about sounding the Kert? If the Kert is believed to be what separates man from the gods, perhaps it refers to the Kert?

Re: Unsounded II: Two Wrights Can Mend A Wrong
This is totally it. It refers to the deepest unknown depths of the khert where a soul may fall through the latticing of the world and find the Gods.
I think Ashley was inspired by that term due to her love of Herman Melville.
Also, what in the world is on Lady Toma's head?

Re: Unsounded II: Two Wrights Can Mend A Wrong
The hairdos of Crescian aristocracy get really weird. But this... looks like one of those lizards Kasalynians keep like we keep cats. So, extra weird.
Poor Chea. The Toma house looks awfully empty in those few panels.
Also, the Queen is on really thin ice with some people. If the plot against her goes into the open, she might find herself with little popular support.Last edited by Morty; 2017-02-03 at 10:41 AM.

Re: Unsounded II: Two Wrights Can Mend A Wrong
I wonder if this run-in with a plod-creating Black Tongue had anything to do with Duane's eventual fate.

Re: Unsounded II: Two Wrights Can Mend A Wrong
I didn't mean in the immediate sense. But here Duane fights a Black Tongue who created plods. A year later (according to Ashley's tumblr), another Black Tongue turns him into a unique (as far as we know), self-aware plod. That doesn't look like pure coincidence. Even if we still don't know who hired Winalils do to it.

Re: Unsounded II: Two Wrights Can Mend A Wrong
Is it just me, or does the comic title get dropped more frequently nowadays? Usually in context of "sounding the unsounded".

Re: Unsounded II: Two Wrights Can Mend A Wrong
Maybe?
Isn't it some quote from one of the in-universe philosophies/religions regarding the Khert?
Quite possible the creepy, soul-digesting, dreamscape space gets (more) important in the near future.
I'm more concerned about Duane turning more... present-Duane-ish.
Khert-dream stuff? Or something the Lady-bird worshipper is doing to accomplish whatever Lady-bird worshippers want to accomplish by casting weird „you in five years” spells?

Re: Unsounded II: Two Wrights Can Mend A Wrong
Pretty sure it's a dream sequence turning ugly.
As for as "the Great Unsounded" goes - it's what people call the khert. "Sound the Great Unsounded" is a quote from the Ssaelit scripture.My FFRP characters. Avatar by Ashen Lilies. Sigatars by Ashen Lilies, Gullara and Purple Eagle.

Re: Unsounded II: Two Wrights Can Mend A Wrong
I wonder what Lady Tittybird will try to teach Duane this time around.

Re: Unsounded II: Two Wrights Can Mend A Wrong
Not that it's that good of an answer, but her specific promise to Duane was that together they would find meaning this time.
I wonder if she has a plan or if she is just reacting to things. I don't think she has all that much power and I'm not sure how much knowledge she has. She apparently realizes that she can't pound information into Duane's thick skull, so it would make some sense that she would manipulate him to learn the things she would want him to know, but I'm not sure she is being all that manipulative. She seems to be a fairly passive guide, as far as I can tell.
TLDR: I don't know if she has anything specific to try to teach him or not.
Of course, she will continue to point out that Ssael and the other gods didn't really exist--not as gods, at least--but I don't think she expects Duane to accept that anytime soon. I wouldn't be surprised if we learn more about the black tongues, though.

Re: Unsounded II: Two Wrights Can Mend A Wrong
I feel like she does have a specific goal in mind. She's stuck in the khert, but she was able to direct the Black Tongues, until recently (whether she can't or won't now is a good question). That said, she's probably not the only one with a plan in this finely unfolding mess.

Re: Unsounded II: Two Wrights Can Mend A Wrong
New page. Lovely visuals. What exactly is it that Duane finds so ugly about the Crescian philosophy? Like specifically what Duane objects to.

Re: Unsounded II: Two Wrights Can Mend A Wrong
Yup. Crescian or Gefendur priests keep pairs of identical twins in special isolated covenants. For major celebrations, they take a pair, get them drugged, then slice one's throat and drink and eat magical drugged flesh and blood.
As seen here:
http://www.casualvillain.com/Unsound...7/ch07_33.html
Also, keep in mind Alderode has heavy propaganda against Cresce. One had planned economy, other is cast based, gender roled society.

Re: Unsounded II: Two Wrights Can Mend A Wrong
Duane mentioned philosophy, not religion. So he's probably talking about the Crescian ideal of the state providing for all, as long as they do their part. He ranted about it back in the Nevergeeen, and almost started a fight.
So, Lady Tittybird is really a senet beast. Unless she's lying, but I don't think she is. The part that gets me curious is growing humans and lizardfolk "from the teeming seas". Khert doesn't reach the sea, and the Ssaelit consider it impure. I don't think this is a coincidence.My FFRP characters. Avatar by Ashen Lilies. Sigatars by Ashen Lilies, Gullara and Purple Eagle.

Re: Unsounded II: Two Wrights Can Mend A Wrong
You mean Jallorn? I thought he meant what Duane has against Gefendur. I mix those two a lot.
Cresce believes in GREATER GOOD and equality, but you are somewhat limited in your personal choices. Queen wants to turn your flower garden into a barrack, tough luck. Cresce is more free about gender roles.
Alderode is more individual, but you are limited by your caste and gender. Want to be a female wright. Go back to the kitchen.
Could be, or it could just be coincidence and the seas she meant are just some biomass large as a sea.

Re: Unsounded II: Two Wrights Can Mend A Wrong
Yes, I think it was specifically that. Duane even blamed the philosophy for Hetr's ruthlessness, so he probably blames it for a lot of Crecian acts.
I don't think she's lying either. It somewhat gives more credence to the idea that the twin gods really existed, although only somewhat since even she needs to rely on the stories rather than actual memories.
Perhaps the humans and lizards and other finite beings (normal animals and plants) weren't supposed to have any access to the kert? Humans didn't have any access to pymary until the Tains somehow figured it out and humans don't think the lizards have any access to it, even though Delicieu obviously does.Last edited by eschmenk; 2017-02-24 at 01:48 PM.

Re: Unsounded II: Two Wrights Can Mend A Wrong
Lady Ilganyag hitting on Duanne never gets old.
And I think we have heard the bit about the Blacktongues being/ having been philanthopists before.
But I have to wonder: did their Lady leave them because that changed or the other way around."If it lives it can be killed.
