Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })On the continent of Dunia sits four kingdoms: Sunsgrove, Aisling, Navran, and Kishar. Forged from ages of strife and bloodshed, and held together under the terms of the Treaty of Cenolau, their rulers and subjects have managed to maintain a fragile peace — until now.The Ermehn, a people exiled to the Northern Wastes by the Canid of Aisling, have begun to unite under the Sratha-din—Bevan, Rhosyn, Ashtor, Eira and Rathik—led by Hardin, who desires to right the wrongs his people have suffered. Further south, Quinlan and Dakkan, warriors of the combined Tamian-Lutren kingdom of Sunsgrove, are summoned by the Tamian king to serve as envoys to the Canid under Dakkan's father, Kenosh, their destination the military garrison of Deltrada where General Clovis is preparing to make war against the Ermehn. Meanwhile, Quinlan's friend Janik has been asked to serve as assistant Tamian ambassador to the Vulpin of Navran at their capital in Nessa. Quinlan and Dakkan are unaware Hardin has chosen Deltrada for his first strike against the Canid, or that Kenosh has developed a rapport with the Ermehn through his service during the Oran Uprising several years ago, when the Ermehn tried unsuccessfully to take their lands back. Unknowingly, they are headed toward a reckoning years in the making.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Got all that? Now, picture them as stoats, wolves, squirrels, and otters.Beyond the Western Deep is a Low Fantasy Funny Animal webcomic by Alex Kain and Rachel Bennett in the vein of Redwall and Usagi Yojimbo, following the characters' adventures and trials as they attempt to weather the encroaching conflict. Tough decisions and harrowing moments abound, with Quinlan and Dakkan trying to do their duty despite lacking valuable experience, Hardin determined to restore his downtrodden people to their rightful lands no matter the cost, and Kenosh and Janik doing their best to maintain peace diplomatically. As events progress and hidden pasts come to light, the web of relationships between them all, as well as the complexities of the treaty that binds the Four Kingdoms, will either lead to the prevention of war... or the destruction of Dunia's fragile civilizations one by one.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })Due to both the comic's writer and artist having day jobs, a few alternate stories and Worldbuilding asides occasionally take center stage, including: Song of the Eastern Sands, which focuses on a troupe of thieves in Nessa called the Sand Spiders—Beck, Rook, Asha and Theo—and how they become involved in the growing intrigue, The Adventures of Cain and Yurk and The Abyssal Dunes starring the titular duo, The Scholar and the Seawal, featuring Isa, a scholar of the Felis of Kishar, investigating a Lutren mythological tale in the oceans west of Dunia, A fully-fledged soundtrack,and The Visual Novel Wintersdawn, available here.These additions have helped the comic mostly avoid Schedule Slip, and with their inclusion in the page count it has amassed roughly seven chapters in ten years since its launch in December of 2011. The comic, which updates every Saturday, can be found here.

"Well Done, Son" Guy: Quinlan and Dakkan to Caldus and Kenosh, in different ways. Quinlan despairs at making his grandfather proud in his new position while Dakkan feels ashamed of his lack of combat experience due to his inability to tolerate seeing blood.

comment
Chekhov's Gun: The knife Hardin sharpens during the Prologue serves as his weapon during his duel with the Ermehn warrior at the end of Chapter One, and ends up buried in his left shoulder in Chapter Four. The trained ravens the Canid use to send messages are given brief focus in Chapter Two before and after the Ermehn raid on Deltrada to set up Janik's predicament and Tosch's communication with the kingdoms of Navran and Kishar in Chapter Three.

Going Native: Played with. Kenosh, despite having fought the Ermehn during the Oran Uprising, departs with them after stabbing Clovis in the back, and before that spoke out in sympathy to their plight. It's all but stated those sympathies began to grow during and after his captivity, during which time he more or less lived as an Ermehn.

Grey-and-Grey Morality: The main story revolves around the Ermehn, specifically around whether or not they got what they deserved or were unfairly punished. While neither option is seen as right or wrong out-of-universe due to the fact that every character has a bias that affects their views on what exactly happened, the question and various answers the characters have chosen is a huge driving force for the plot.

Fantastic Racism
 Beyond the Western Deep (Webcomic) / int_57b80b45
comment
Fantastic Racism: The protagonists aren't above it. Dakkan believes the Ermehn are violent savages when they've been forced into that lifestyle by the Canid conquering their land. Thanks to his experiences as a captive of the Ermehn, Kenosh has a more nuanced view.

Fantasy Counterpart Culture
 Beyond the Western Deep (Webcomic) / int_57d43e40
comment
Fantasy Counterpart Culture: Each Dunian race has identifiable cultural analogues in the real world: Tamian Sunsgrove is medieval Europe with some Native American-esque mythology, while the Lutren have Polynesian aspects. By creator admission, the Felis are based on the Roman Empire and medieval China. The Canid resemble Roman military culture and medieval Northern Europe. The Ermehn are Germanic tribesmen, with a passing asthetic similarity to the Scots and/or Picts. The Vulpin are Arabian-inspired. The Polcan take after the Sea Peoples.

Call a Rabbit a "Smeerp": The various Earth animals of the Four Kingdoms are given fantastic names: Lutren are otters, Tamian are squirrels, Canid are wolves, Ermehn are stoats, Polcan are ferrets, Vulpin are foxes, and Felis are an amalgam of different felines.

Animal Stereotypes
 Beyond the Western Deep (Webcomic) / int_61d054a0
comment
Animal Stereotypes: Plenty. The Canid play canines straight: the lower orders are loyal to their kin and to the nation of Aisling, and tough, and their leaders are pretty vicious. The Felis are also straight examples: highly intelligent and curious, as befitting the most advanced Dunian nation, with an air of superiority. No advanced nastiness yet, though. The two most notable Lutren play with this. Dakkan fits the stereotype of the "fun-loving" otter, but his father Kenosh is the polar opposite: stern, taciturn and hiding a lot of inner pain due to his experiences living with the Ermehn. Curiously enough, both are more aggressive than the usual portrayal of otters, being trained soldiers with a body count. The Tamian are the epitome of graceful and agile, having an entire martial art (Tesque) dedicated to it. No signs of any screwiness. The Ermehn may be threatening to the other Dunians, but are for the most part portrayed sympathetically to the audience. Of the Sratha-din, Hardin and Rathik show the most cunning and visciousness, while the rest are more neutral. The jury is out on the Polcan and Vulpin; the single examples shown (Rook and Theo) show strength, cleverness and confidence. For the Vulpin, the murder of an entire royal family is a little out of bounds, though.

Villain Has a Point: Hardin's grievance is more or less justified in light of everything we know about the Canid and their manipulation of Sunsgrove to oust the Ermehn from Aisling, notwithstanding his own father's death during the Oran Uprising. On a similar level, Tosch has every right to interrogate Quinlan and Dakkan on what they know concerning his brother's death by Kenosh's hand, albeit perhaps not while they're both chained to the walls in a dungeon for manners' sake.

Establishing Character Moment
 Beyond the Western Deep (Webcomic) / int_7febc23b
comment
Establishing Character Moment: For each of our major players, and some minor ones. Quinlan is first seen sitting alone in the woods with his sketchbook, while Hardin sits alone in the taiga sharpening his knife. Dakkan loiters outside a meeting between his father and the Tamian king, indicating his lack of status and respect within the Lutren army and, presumably, with his father. Kenosh tells the story so far between the Canid and Ermehn and takes a dim view of helping the Canid, both implying familiarity with the conflict and sympathy toward the Ermehn's side. Beck's first public performance marks her as a high-spirited, comic character.

Dysfunction Junction: The Sratha-din don't exactly run like a well-oiled machine. Hardin and Rathik clash over egos and Rathik's unrestrained vendetta against the Canid, Hardin and Ashtor squabble over the sacrifice of innocent Ermehn to Hardin's ambitions, and the whole group isn't too happy with Hardin's propensity for secrets. These differences eventually come to a head when an enraged Rathik stabs Hardin in the shoulder.

Foreshadowing: Focus is put on Hardin's knife skills in his duel at the end of Chapter One that pays off when the tables turn and he gets stabbed by Rathik in Chapter Four. Janik and Mitra discuss the assassination of Navran's royal family at the start of Chapter Three before they become targets of Canid soldiers at Cenolau. The attention given to the Canid's raven messengers in Chapter Two forshadows Tosch's shadowy diplomatic efforts and Sigrid's growing involvement in the plot in Chapter Three.

My Country, Right or Wrong: Despite his passionate disagreement about the nature of the conflict, Kenosh agrees to Dabheid's terms in heading to Deltrada to negotiate with Clovis on Sunsgrove's behalf. On the Canid side, Sigrid, despite her own misgivings, obeys Tosch's orders to fight under the command of a mercenary Polcan force.

Offscreen Moment of Awesome: One for Kenosh which helps establish his credentials as an old hand in combat. Early in Chapter Two, Quinlan and Dakkan are ambushed on watch and subdued by a trio of bandits while Kenosh is asleep. Kenosh wakes up, manages to sneak around the bandits and get the drop on them. The resolution goes unshown, instead cutting away to the trio discussing what happened. Kenosh declines to take credit, considering Quinlan's decision to let them go unharmed to be the real "awesome moment".

The Chessmaster: Hardin and Tosch fit this bill, Hardin for his sheer ruthlessness in planning and execution and Tosch for his calm but rageful early efforts at retaliation against the Ermehn and any perceived enemies of Aisling through cloak-and-dagger methods, including assassination and backdoor diplomacy. As of Chapter Four, Hardin's efforts may have been Too Clever by Half thanks to his abrasive style of command and his underestimation of Rathik's instability.

Sympathetic P.O.V.: Done well in Chapters One and Two where the story switches fluidly between the Tamian/Lutren and Ermehn sides, showing the desperation the Ermehn have in their situation and the efforts of Dakkan, Quinlan and Kenosh to defuse tensions with the Canid. The sympathy has begun to flow to the Canid side of things in Chapter Three with Sigrid, a Canid soldier who's starting to question her nation's way of dealing with things, if only tenuously.

Ensemble Cast: The plot currently rotates between Quinlan and Dakkan, Kenosh and the Sratha-din, and Janik and the Sand Spiders, with roughly equal amounts of time spent on each across the main comic and Song of the Eastern Sands. Taking into account the side-stories with Cain, Yurk and Isa, we're looking at a burgeoning Cast Herd.

Great Offscreen War: The ancient wars which resulted in the Treaty of Cenolau, and the war between the Canid and Ermehn for control of Aisling, both of which led to the Ermehn being decimated and scattered across the Northern Wastes. The Oran Uprising, where the Ermehn tried to take Aisling back, is technically not "offscreen" as we do see a panel or two devoted to it, but the comic is more concerned with its fallout than covering it in full.
