No matter how long it takes, this comic will update!! Eventually.

I got a little sick (the cold) and was struggling a bit with life stuff as usual. I have a lot of difficulty focusing on work lately so progress was a bit glacial. I don't think I'm alone in saying recent events in the world have been very distracting and upsetting so I've had to crawl over a huge mountain of “why bother?” to get this page finished.

Ugh, why'd I make this goblin man so complicated to draw! XD

So there's a little more about the Onekamari village, and we're bringing up Blackforge again. Considering the deal that other folks have with the massive industrial complex, the Onekamari have it easy. Blackforge is a close neighbor to the Chaos Kingdom but it operates under neither their jurisdiction nor Samrick's. It is almost a nation unto itself, the closest thing Kellwood has to a military industrial complex.

The Onekamari have other reasons for remaining close to their village, we know that there's ore of some sort that Blackforge is having them mine so there's a quota keeping most of them pretty busy. Might be that Blackforge taking a personal interest in the Onekamari could be a reason that the Dragons haven't dealt with them in revenge for the slaying of the great Empyrean Dragon Ekkinaros many many generations ago. Maybe. :)
