At War’s Edge webcomic episodes 249-250 are up. Everyone is very ready for the feast.
And a little recap, since it has been too long 🙂
We are in a small border town of Shelisk, where King Boleslav of Bereg and his cousin Prince Meled were on an inspection. Right now they’re expecting the Republic of Halcia to declare war on Bereg at any moment. With battle magic being a boyar privilege in Bereg, Halcia has a huge military advantage.
Out of desperation, Boleslav and Meled decided to strike up an alliance with the dyvs, the mysterious but magically powerful people from the Other Side. In order to do that, Meled has volunteered to marry the half-human daughter of a dyv prince.
This feast is to welcome the newly-arrived bride and her entourage, and hopefully seal the alliance.
