"Okay, you're all going to have to sit down for this one!  We spotted another convergent celestial body just an hour ago.  That's three in quick succession!  Are we worried? Maybe. Exuberant? Abso*******lutely!"

Queen of Ashes

"Despite their rather grandiose title, The First Ones only awoke to the reality that had been woven around them, for them. Ever powerful, they enriched the arras they called home with fervent and purposeful creativity. Little did they realize back then the true gift bestowed upon them by their progenitors: Mortality."

Steeped Decisions

"Unacceptable! Other battalions were sent to secure the borders, while my units are stuck here, patrolling empty streets and supervising merchant caravans. My soldiers didn't fight at the citadel just so that they can become glorified customs agents!"

Unforged Trust

"We began as only one, and we were everything, yet, we also had nothing. So we became many. Countless threads that emanated from a single spool, we entwined until our tapestry became reality. And in doing so, the crucible became the loom."

"Ilconian Tea is a unique flower to this plateau. Though subtle in flavour, it is famed for its notable stimulant effect, making it the drink of choice amongst all classes in the kingdom. No pilgrim leaves our ranges without a little tea satchel as a souvenir or gift. Please drop by the nearest kiosk for further information!"

Seeking Eurudition

"3 vessels sent to the bottom of the harbour in the blink of an eye, all hands lost. Not even a single rodent was found floating amongst the carnage... With such power in our midst, it becomes harder to differentiate between warfare and outright slaughter."

Somber Lesson

"Too hot and you risk it burning, too cold and it will not render; The spectrum of power grants you absolute control of the outcome. Tend to an oven's flame with reverence, and you shall be scrumptiously rewarded. Neglect the hearth, and tears are all you will taste."

Contemplation Required

"The deeper you gaze into the Tapestry, the more you pry at its foundation. Thread density and intricacy increases exponentially, allowing for the most subtle of manipulations. By that same token, errors are magnified proportionally, thus the Faculty will not be held liable for the results."

Origins & Potential

"Governance has its nuances. I'm not one to promote outright subjugation as a means to an end. Raw power quickly outlives its usefulness, and in its wake, beckons misery to take its place."

Anecdotal Reprisal

"Seeing as half the city is now submerged, people are paying good money for ships with divers to extract as many heirlooms and valuables as possible. I mean, war is horrid and all that, but the salvaging business has entered a Golden Age!"

Woven Chapter 03 pg01+02 - Cheeky Accusations

"Meek, yet dexterous, the early magi pleased the Azure Courts and were thus blessed as their augers. Disgusted that such beings were allowed to even touch the Scared Weave, many Elders abandoned the council, heralding the First Schism."

"Our lore is a little more... dated, shall we say. When the primordials wove the moon, they could not will her to move across the sky. So with their remaining might, they braided the rolling sun, an entity of such exceeding brilliance that the moon could not help but covet, and so she gave chase, for eternity."

If anyone's curious, the 'likeness' of Ayse we used is what I call a "Palette Homunculus".  It's essentially just a combination of colour swabs that I use for quick reference when flatting and masking the comic colours <3 We alone cannot bear the burden of witnessing it, so we have passed it on to you~

Woven really seems to have taken off on this platform and so to celebrate, we decided to answer a few questions that cropped up along the way in the comments.

It was incredibly fun! And we ended up with even more questions, which will be addressed in another upcoming Q/A session.
