Monthly Q & A- August

The bases are often released here a while before they are released publicly, but some of the older ones I've yet to update and post

Kique Nordin

I've noticed that most of the linearts available on your Runestorm-kennel page are available here to the top tier patrons, but some are missing. Do we need to buy these separately, or should they be available? (Specifically the Vildmarkens Terrier Base)

They are currently dating. Kargo will be seen again in the next chapter

Kique Nordin

Are Roamer and Rogio permanent? and will we see kargo soon I miss mister grumpy

Both of them are mostly thinking about finding the pack, and hoping that they will find each other once they do. Rhov hasn't mentioned her because he's being very guarded towards the Guild, careful not to reveal too much that could spoil is hopes in finding the pack. Jahla isn't talking much but Rhov is on her mind.

Kique Nordin

How is Jahla handling being away from Rhov? I feel like Rhov and her havent even really thought about eachother during their time apart nor have they even mentioned eachothers names

Nagito

Okey! Are or were Galti and Alva in love or were they just friends too?

Akela74

There are descriptions of each rank available at the wiki at the Life in Aedra section, though the responsiblities of each rank may vary from tribe to tribe.

Kique Nordin

He was hurt, felt betrayed by both of them. How he's coping will be shown in the next chapter

Kique Nordin

No he was just a friend from the same pack

Kique Nordin

Hey Kique, do you think we could get descriptions of each rank eventually? I'm not too clear on all their specific duties. The one I'm most concerned with at the moment is Artisan, what all do they do? Paint dogs, brand weapons, but do they craft everything too?

Cobaltopia

How exactly did kargo feel finding out about roamer and rogio?

It's too bad, I like Galti, I would love to see more of him or others tribe members

Akela74

He's a minor background character, characters like him won't be seen much.

Kique Nordin

Ok as you said earlier gatli is alive and still in the tribe but could anyone refresh my memory, where is he? In all the pages they have talks he is not present if i remember correctly? Yet everyone else is i am confused xD

ArtemistheArtist22

1. I don't have any plans to redraw Asmundr, as that would be a huge project that would take many years to complete. I would rather focus on Home and extra material for that comic. 2. As in hard copies? I don't plan to yet. Maybe I will change my mind in the future but I will have to edit some chapters before then. 3. Whenever I have the free time, I will need to finish the current commissions first. 4. It's possible. 5. I will release wallpapers once the public pages has reached a little bit further.

Kique Nordin

I don't have the spare time to finish the Taiga lion base, but I will try do finish it next month. Maybe, once I have another design dump to give out

Kique Nordin

No he still believes that he killed him.

Kique Nordin

It's alien writing

Kique Nordin

I thought of another question lol I think it was answered before, but the symbols on Liulfr, what exactly can they be? Strictly runes or?

Cobaltopia

Quick little question. Does Ranach know Rogio is alive. I'm not sure and still have the idea he doesn't.

Rubje

Any new base to be released this month? - Do you plan on doing adopts again on Patreon?

Akela74

Yes but it's on a private document

Kique Nordin

I don't think so, not at this time at least

Kique Nordin

1. Crossbreeds can happen between all species, but the Liulfr gene is less dominant than the Aki, so the chances of getting a Liulfr looking offspring is small. The trinity happened with the intervention of the Sky Gods, giving Lifa the energy of a Liulfr. 2. Ligers are hybrids between two species, two dog breeds won't have the same effect on the offspring since they are of the same species. A Zioqa and Taiga Lion though may produce bigger offspring since they aren't as closely related.

Kique Nordin

1. Yes, they have both stopped aging. 3. Yes. 4. Possibly. He doesn't know where Ronja is, only that she went with a male to live with his pack.

Kique Nordin

1. Yes. 2. They are from the same litter. 3. Kind of 4. The tribe has suffered from low fertility in both genders because of inbreeding. 5. For personality? Easily influenced, kinda has a tunnel vision, stubborn. 6. Some may look down upon them since it's common knowledge that inbreeding may cause fertility problems, diseases and malformities. 7. Can't answer that at the moment. 8. There are others

Kique Nordin

Do u still keep list of ur commissions?

An another question! If you add the chance, would you accept to let people translate your comic in other languages? ~

Xana Akai

Hi Kique I have a few questions. (1) We know that the Akiulf gene is dominant and that most offspring with other dogs will be Akiulfs but what about Liulfr crossbreeds. The one case we know of made the triad. But is that in all cases. What if the mother was a Vildmarkens Terrier. (2) a crossbreed between and female tiger and a male lion (Ligar) is bigger then either of it's parents does that work with dogs in Home as well. Could a crossbreed between a Taiga Gazel and a Rifle be bigger then its parents.

Rubje

1. Are panic and piccolo still alive? 2. If so, will they also stop aging or is that limited to the canines? 3. Will we get to see the asmundr pack some more again in some chapters? I love the new characters but i really want to see how they are coping and how they all feel about Aedra so far! 4. Will we see johan again? I dont remember does he know where ronja is? How is he coping with it?

ArtemistheArtist22

1. Do Fremja and Inna share a hut? Just wondering as they are sisters. 2. Who is older, Fremja or Inna? 3. Are the sisters (Fremja and Inna) close? 4. Why are so many of the meteor tribe females barren? 5. What would be some describing words for Javo? 6. Are inbred dogs looked down upon by non-inbred dogs? 7. Will we eventually learn about Rogio’s past? (How he came to the tribe, who ihs family was, etc.) 8. Is Aedra the only continent in the world or are there others?

Ranach is merely using Avanti to destroy the tribe, he has no interest in her romantically. Avanti on the other hand, believes he is her true love.

Kique Nordin

They are still in the tribe

Kique Nordin

1. Can't answer this at the moment. 2. I don't think Ranulfr would contact a spirit, unless it's a spirit that is strongly connected to the Sky Gods. 3. She was never given time to bond with them. They were taken from her when the pups were about 2 months old. 4. Can't answer this at the moment. 5. He can still contribute in hunting and protection, but his stamina is greatly affected.

Kique Nordin

Yes. Her reason behind the decision was Rogio is the one the tribe trusts the most, while Roamer is the one she trusts the most.

Kique Nordin

1. Yes. 2. Can't answer that at the moment. 3. As they appear in the comic yes.

Kique Nordin

Some might still be processing what just happened, but others may not be very surprised, considering the values Ranach has.

Kique Nordin

Kind of curious us said the tie between ranach and avanti makes them lovers nothing more, can you go in more detail by that like.....lovers lovers or something else due to their bind....and would ranach really get intimate with something like that???

i dont know if anyone has asked and i’ve missed it but what happened to galti and the blonde female?

pintomosa

Okay, so I don't quite remember if I did ask this already but if I did, I apologize. 1) How far in the story would you say we are in? Beginningish, middleish or nowhere close? xD 2) For fun, what spirit (under the current ones) would Ranulfr have prayed to? Or would have he just stuck to good old method of revenge in person? 3) I saw that this was sort of already answers but: Did Vandi ever have time to bond with her pups? Or were they taken from her at a younger/later age due to the fact that they were pups of Anerak? She doesn't seem to have a bond with any of her pups in the MT and I don't think it was ever mentioned if she and the pups were treated like all others or with a slight privilege? 4) Relating back to Asmundr, Father did say that Kainan and his pack were more than he could have hoped for so did he maybe also send them in order to help the dogs of the Adrea? Such as with Ranfulr, they "cured" Earth of the shield wolves so maybe they'll reverse the things on Adrea or am I just putting too much thought into it? 5) With the recent events, Roamer really reminded me of Grayson and while this is more towards the Amsundr pack, how has Grayson coped with his wound? Since nothing has really been mentioned on how serious Roamer's wound was, it doesn't seem like he'll end up like his old man. Is he still able to physically contribute to the pack or is more of a mentor (over watching) or being like a adviser?

Skittles

Was Javo the one who tended to both Fremja and Roamer's wounds, considering Inna doesn't have much experience as a Healer yet? :) What was Ronja's reasoning behind appointing Roamer to the rank of Baron? Is it simply because she knows/trusts him being that he is basically family and wants to keep him close?

Nippy

1. We are going to probably get introduced to more gods/deities in the future pages? 2. Ronja is confirmed to have four pups, right? 3. Will we receive references to all types of species (outside of dogs and the big cats) on the wiki?

So far nobody seems to be particularly shocked Ranach summoned Avanti, is interaction with the deities something that happens frequently or is MT still processing what´ s happening?

Aerophoinix

More details has been added to each chapter so the reveal of the glowy pawprints was pushed back a bit but I promise that we are getting real close ;)

Kique Nordin

1. Healing bark can be used to close the wounds, but after that is done, large wounds may still need to be wrapped and cared for. 2. Thin leather. 3. I like to think that they all feel pretty real, with their own desires, thoughts and questions. 4. In the area they are in they are pretty sheltered from hard winds and extreme weather, so the huts don't need to be reinforced that often. She mostly has to tend to the armor, weapons and paint. 5. She was his main choice simply because she has the best fertility among all the females the tribe has had. 6. Can't answer this at the moment. 7. I guess around 250 days 8. The Baron and Viscountess work together to complete the scrolls. 9. There's not that many plants that glow since they don't need that function like the wildlife do. It's usually only those that grow underground or deep in the water may glow. 10. Their old culture under Arenak's reign didn't, but under the new leadership they may start to (: 11 . Can't answer this at the moment

Kique Nordin

These characters can fall in love with either sex, it just depends on having that connection to them and the traits they are attracted to. Roamer, like many of the other characters from the Asmundr generation, are still growing and learning who they are.

Kique Nordin

It has changed quite a lot from the initial draft. None that I can think of at the moment, maybe Jahla isn't as liked as I had hoped. But all characters will go through a lot of challenges, making them hard to like but hopefully as the character learns from their mistakes, readers will start to enjoy them again.

Kique Nordin

Can't reveal more at this time

Kique Nordin

So yet again I ask (and sorry if I'm becoming annoying, I'm just really curious), are we going to get an explanation for the glowing pawprints that were present at the beginning of the story? I know you said we would, but you seem to be putting it off, with each new chapter, and I just wanted to make sure you didn't forget about it. lol :)

CorruptAngel

Here are a few questions I have for you! 1. Why is Fremja bandaged if they’ve used healing bark on the exact same injury in the past? 2. What are the bandages made of? 3. Which character feels most real to you? 4. How often does Jonna need to repair the huts? 5. Was Vandi Arenak’s favorite? 6. How many siblings did Rogio have? 7. How long is Nova Antelope gestation/amount of calves? 8. Which rank writes the scrolls for the capital? 9. Are there any plants that evolved to glow? 10. Do the MT ever play pawball? 11. Will Fremja have a more important role in the future? I'm really loving her so far.

Comparing Rogio to Roamer, Rogio seems very clear in what he wants and who he is as a dog.

Ashley Edwards

I'm curious about Roamers sexuality. I know he's more interested in males but over time and with his personality, he seems more asexual. I feel like he still doesn't know what he wants even though he still shows affection for his lovers. Young Roamer didn't seem to know what he wanted either, like he fights with himself about what he wants. Is he still exploring who he is or is he clear about who he is now?

Ashley Edwards

Has the comic taken any surprising twists that you didn't forsee when you first set out with Home? Also any characters that you were surprised were popular/not so popular?

Kisumi

Can't answer this at the moment sorry. More about the night beasts/ghouls will be revealed in the upcoming chapters

Kique Nordin

Only against other dogs. I base most of them from real life species, mostly herbivores

Kique Nordin

I'm curious to know if we will know more about Avanti? Her past, what happened to her, who cursed her ect?

Xana Akai

Wondered the same to. Maybe the blood bond means she would not touch them? They would be ‘his blood’? Since Ronja is pregnant with them it means she could be safe? I’m curious to see the reason!

Heiyu

Not Kique, but from what we know from the comic informations + the Wiki ; Meteor Tribe males are forced to mate with whatever female the Jarl tell them to mate with.

Viktor

I understand that Ranach wants to take down the Meteor Tribe because he's been exiled, but is there any reason he's okay with (or maybe he's not, I could be wrong) with hurting Ronja even though she's carrying his pups? At Spirit Eigfeigr's stone he refused to give up his unborn because of his narcissistic personality, but his actions with Avanti might end up killing his unborn anyway - I'm just confused here. Thank you, and keep up the great work as always!

Trip3of3

Since we saw Ávanti slap that night beast I wonder: Can night beasts be hurt by anyone or just other cursed creatures/spirits?

Yami

I was wondering if new MT males only fought against seasoned warriors to prove their strength or was it also nightbeasts? Also, what are your markings based off of? Some are obvious but others I have no idea lol

Cobaltopia

This has been nagging at me since we saw the characters parents lists. Why did Savas mate with his own mother? Are they taken at an age that he just did not remember her? Or was he that messed up of a person? Sorry if it’s already been asked, but it’s been bothering me >__
