also why is it always “shower thoughts this” and “shower thoughts that”. give me “thoughts i had putting on makeup”. /j

Polities was there throughout the entire Trojan war, if he has not killed someone (unlikely) then he has at the very least seen the bloodied battlefields.

none of the Ithacans died at Troy, but other soldiers in the collective Greek army did.

Open Arms become more tragic when you think of it from the perspective of a man who has seen a field strewn with the gore of comrade and enemy alike—his own hands are likely stained with blood—and wishes to not witness the cruelty of it again.

or something idk

Underwizard - THE WAR

Humans, before the war, could use magic only by learning it. They had to study their whole lives to be able to master their spells, unlike the monsters who had those powers living within their souls.

So when humans discovered that by absorbing the souls of monsters they could gain those powers, they began THE massacre…

At first it was a few murders in the streets, then… those murders became battles, and then a world war.

Those who hunted monsters for power were classified as "HUNTER WIZARDS," but when the original wizards began to die out, the distinction no longer mattered, and we now call those terrible creatures simply "WIZARDS."

At some point some of the major hunter wizards became the ones in power, who were the only ones allowed to absorb souls. They even formed armies to find and enslave monsters, who would then be killed when they "needed" more souls.

Within a few years, most of the monsterkind was dead or enslaved…

That was the moment when the seven stronger hunter wizards decided to stop this massacre by sealing the monsters underground with a magic spell, also known as THE BARRIER.

Then, they were executed for treason.

Since I can't draw at the moment, I thought I'd share a more detailed look at the war in Underwizard for the anniversary.

I have so much lore about this! I had to share some.

The Lost Starfarers

An excerpt from the book The Lost Starfarers by Dr. Erin Burke, published March 2472 CE. Image: the planet Hemera in 2470, seen from high orbit.

Ten thousand years ago, the apocalypse happened.

Not on Earth, of course; we were spared, and our pre-agricultural ancestors never knew the fortune that had shone upon them. But the ruins of nearly a hundred worlds in nearby space tell us everything: ten thousand years ago, the world ended eighty-seven times at once. Far more, in fact, if one counts the tens of thousands of shattered stations and constructs that lay scattered across the expanse of more than a dozen solar systems. Our own system did not fully escape this fate, and indeed the derelict station over Uranus is how we came to realize that, once, long ago, humanity was watched over by beings far more powerful than ourselves.

In our fledgeling centuries of starfaring we would come to learn that these beings called themselves "skgri'i," and came from a world called "o'Kora" -the planet now known to us as Hemera. Over two thousand metric years, they spread across the stars, developing their science and technology to heights we still will not match for another dozen centuries. And yet, somehow, they did not fully shed their primordial divisive nature –much the same nature as the human race– and this was ultimately their undoing.

Our predecessors, our cosmic kin who once flourished across the stars for millennia, were erased from existence in thirteen short years by the most cataclysmic war in known xenoarchaeological history -so absolute in its destruction that it has been simply dubbed "the Apocalypse." We know very little of the conflict itself, or of the terrible weapons with which it was fought, but we can still see plainly the cost that was paid: billions of souls eradicated by the actions of a few; thriving global ecosystems turned to dust in mere seconds; planets left scarred with radioactive craters and unnatural volcanic glass. Most worlds in space are simply dead, inert from their birth... but can you fathom looking upon a world which was killed?

Centuries ago, Earth’s scholars puzzled over the lack of evidence for advanced intelligent life in the universe. After much thought and debate, some proposed an event common to the development of all sapient species called the Great Filter: that which determines whether a civilization will achieve starflight or collapse into oblivion. The ancient Hemerans show us the sobering truth: only cooperation will see us through the Great Filter, because cooperation is the Great Filter. We must take to heart the lesson which those magnificent starfarers did not survive to learn: if we do not forge our path through the stars with goodwill and camaraderie, all that awaits us is the end.

Refuge (2022)

A short comic I did last year. It's been up on my itch.io for a while but I thought I might as well post it here too. I'm still very proud of the art on this one.
