A view of the city of Roslori from the wall of the North Gate. There is evidence of the Wasteland Tribal attack here: The physical gate itself is broken and off its hinges; the decorative banner above the gate has snapped, a piece of it lying on the ground; the green gem atop the wall is smashed; and a few Tribal spears and ladders are scattered on the ground, with some ladders still standing against the wall. There are no people. A narration states "Roslori, days after the Tribal attack. An eerie silence permeats the air." A view of a street inside the city. The city is strewn with debris, further artifacts of the Tribal attack, with broken street lamps, broken signs, an overturned litter bin with lumps of whatever scattered around, broken glass, a dislodged sign (in the shape of a strawberry, clearly indicating the building on which it rested was a produce market), scattered mail from a downed mailbox, and other signs of damage. Still, no people. The narration continues: "At present, the city is still empty. Not even thieves or scavengers have come forth to take advantage of the situation." A view of the festival grounds. Several tents are still standing, though in serious disrepair. Tent fabric is torn, burned, and flapping in the wind, revealing the structural materials of the tent behind them. Damaged parts of tents, leftover food, and a stray Tribal spear lie on the ground. Again, no people. The narration: "More importantly, though, the city is also empty of Wasteland Tribals and their ersatz goddess." A silhouetted view outside the East Gate of Roslori. We see three guards walking away. Another narration: "Also, as per a few minutes ago, the city is also empty of these specific members of the city guard." Spaced down the panel a bit more: "These guards right here." And a bit further down still: "They're heading out."

Greetings. Welcome to the Dementia of Magic, a somewhat silly plot-grounded comic, updated MWF (eventually). Sit back, enjoy, read the story, have a look around, just have a nutty good time.

If you're new here, you're best off starting from the beginning. It's quite a bit plot-dependent.

September 4, 2023:

Hey, guess what, it's 2023 and Chapter Nine is finally starting! Finally.

It's been quite the year of, y'know, work and various garden-variety anxieties and such like that, so that's always fun. It's also involved me trying to plan out the visuals of this next chapter, which really started getting slow when I had the idea to make everything in 8½"x11" pages, which means I need to draw more and work out layouts, and then I realized I planned the first part of the chapter to feature changing scenes and crowds and such. It's been slow, is all.

But, the chapter's about to start, I've got at least some idea where these stories are going, and I can hopefully draw said ideas out, so that's good! Technically! I hope you enjoy it! It's really good, seriously you guys!
