Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Guilded Age (first page here) is a Heroic Fantasy webcomic, in which six fairly competent adventurers conveniently meet and form a group to make a living of... well... adventuring. It's written by Flo Kahn and T Campbell, with art by Erica Henderson (Chapters 1 through 7) and John Waltrip (Chapter 8 onward). A backup of the comic can be found here.The meat of the story deals with our heroes getting hired to do various jobs for the growing human nation of Gastonia. Gastonia is in the middle of a technological revolution, and its rapid border expansion has earned it much ire from the "savage races," as well as older magical societies, like those of the elves. On top of that, each of the six characters has their own issues to deal with, and as a group the multicultural, multiracial band tends to face as much personal conflict as they do political conflict. At least, that's how it starts...Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The first six chapters began with a mini adventure taking place sometime after the main story arc. Word of God says that it was to give the beloved audience the guarantee of a future full of gang-asskicking. The main story arc begins by relating how each of the protagonists met to finally form a party and deliver said asskicking. From the seventh chapter on, however, the storyline has taken on a more linear format.

Kill the God
 Guilded Age (Webcomic) / int_10add6ee
comment
Kill the God: Three examples, two in rapid succession: Frigg manages to defy and ultimately kill the god of defiance (Insanity Wolf) that powers her. When offered a chance to take his place in his pantheon, she refuses. In the climax, Tectonicus is killed by HR Daedalus, who at this point has ascended to the Realm of Being and has become nearly omnipotent. Daedalus is in turn killed by the combined efforts of the five (who kill his form in Arkerra), and a repentant Carol, who unplugs his life support in the Sepia World.

Heroic BSoD: Byron gets into a bit of a funk after he berserks and kills or incapacitates his entire team. It's bad enough that he has to be taken out of action for awhile, and begs to be killed so that it will never happen again.

Our Elves Are Different: Sky elves, Winter elves, Shit elves (although that's just the colloquial name) and Wood Elves (who are technically plants). Also, Wood Elves supposedly have root-like feet viewed as awkward by other races (if they know it exists at all).

Not-So-Harmless Villain
 Guilded Age (Webcomic) / int_171ef47c
comment
Chapter 25 has one of HR's employees accidentally find his way into HR's secret lab, people jars and all. HR, who up to this point had mostly been struggling to make any real progress toward his plots, murders him in cold blood, cuts off the man's arm, and in a later chapter uses it to fuel a dark ritual that puts a copy of himself inside Arkerra.

A Father to His Men: Byron. Though he does not get officially acknowledged as The Leader and later officially definitely isn't, he's usually the team's tactical planner, and he's the one who is most prone to showing concern for the fate of his fellow adventurers. May also qualify as the Team Dad.

Our Orcs Are Different
 Guilded Age (Webcomic) / int_1a303edf
comment
Our Orcs Are Different: They're very apelike and seem to be viewed as on close to the same level as animals, to the point where even the people rebelling against Gastonia's Fantastic Racism treat orcs as slave labor. Whether or not the perception is accurate, however, is still unclear. At the very least, they're smart enough to comprehend the idea of working hard in exchange for not being beaten. In the final chapters, they're shown to have built a town of their own, so they're certainly at similar levels of intelligence to the other races.

Break the Haughty
 Guilded Age (Webcomic) / int_2af6bbeb
comment
Break the Haughty: Payet. He was shocked (but not hammed) and dismayed that the core group was shocked that he saved Byron and after a small confession, he decided to be a better ally and since he is supposed to find a basin that will tell him his destiny, this seems to be the flavor of the chapter. And then there was a much more significant breakdown after finding the basin and seeing his death. The final break happens when Byron forgives him for everything and offers to be his friend. Payet is still reeling from the idea that he's not actually as important as he was inadvertently fooled into thinking, and realizing that means his past actions were exceptionally selfish. His demeanor almost completely changes, and he fully embraces his role as an important party member instead of the protagonist.

Tomato in the Mirror: "The Five," Byron, Syr'Nj, Gravedust, Frigg, and Payet, may be heading for this as they are the only players of Kingdoms of Arkerra who are so immersed in the game that they believe it's their reality. The other player characters are a bit weirded out that "The Big Four" never break character or seem to understand that there is life outside of Arkerra. Ultimately played with: their identities in Arkerra are completely real, even though they indeed started as testers for the VR version of Kingdoms of Arkerra.

Super Window Jump: Byron makes a dramatic entrance to draw the attention of the Sisterhood of the Perpetual Bloodshot Eyeball when the party comes to break Frigg out. Apparently Byron is familiar with the move, calling it a "simple yet impressive maneuver" to throw your enemies and build your confidence up. However, that is merely a diversion which allows the team to sneak in through a side door.

Schizo Tech: The majority of people use medieval arms and armor, but gnomes employ guns and a lot of Clock Punk-inspired devices that far outstrip the rest of the setting's technology, including autonomous fighters good for war or training, and massive house-sized tanks. Then you have massive dirigibles providing bomber support, Rendar's flying machine and white phosphorous grenades, goblin Hammertanks, and Goblaurence's rocket launcher that he put together out of battlefield scrap. Though, a fair bit of it seems to be Magitek.

Humans Are Bastards
 Guilded Age (Webcomic) / int_3d4d3dc9
comment
Humans Are Bastards: Gastonia is pretty much a hive of racists out to conquer and plunder the planet in much the same vein as 17th-19th century colonialists. That said, the comic has shown that no one, not a single race could be considered good or all that nice. Either they are: xenophobic, condescending, tyrannical, downright genocidal or all of the above. Really, the only reason why Humans are labeled like this (at first), was because they were the only ones shown.

A.I. Is a Crapshoot
 Guilded Age (Webcomic) / int_420c50b7
comment
A.I. Is a Crapshoot: Simultaneously played straight and inverted. From the ninth chapter onwards it is revealed that the characters are actually living in a Magitek People Jars video game described as a cross between The Matrix and a Kinect. The creator, H.R. Dedalus can't get them out, and everything within the game seems to be taking a mind of its own. And then it turns out H.R. was wrong; Arkerra isn't merely a virtual clone of an alternate reality, it's a whole new real reality, capable of being influenced by what's done on Earth, but not truly controlled. Of course, being forced to realize the true capability of his magic just makes things worse...

Heroes Prefer Swords: Mostly averted. None of the core group members use swords as main weapons. Syr'nj does keep a sword-and-buckler as sidearms, and latecomers Scipio and Sundar use swords to great effect.

Early-Installment Weirdness: Early chapters had the characters engaging in a load of pop-culture references as casual dialog, Frigg more so than anyone else, when they weren't all living in a World of Snark. This faded over time as the setting developed into its current and somewhat more serious state.

Our Dwarves Are All the Same

comment
Our Dwarves Are All the Same: At first, seemingly played straight by Gravedust. Something-hammer last name? Check. Big beard? Check. The Comically Serious? Check. Standard dwarf. However, later we learn that dwarves are desert nomads who have been driven from their mountains. Furthermore, their women are lustful, their children don't respect authority, and, most atypical of all, some of them DON'T HAVE BEARDS! Gravedust isn't your typical armored hammer/axe warrior either. He's some kind of shaman/archer who can speak with the dead and ask them to lend their strength to his arrows. However, the impression he gives of much the rest of his race is that of more traditional dwarf warriors.

Affably Evil: Iver, Savasi Warlord, doesn't really make much effort to hide how much of a Smug Snake he really is and how clearly he's just using the World's Rebellion to make himself rich, but at least he's charming about it. On the Gastonian side of things, His Grace Iwatani is a Manipulative Bastard extraordinaire playing the cultists and his own allies against each other to advance his own agenda, but at the same time he puts on a friendly and concerned facade to whomever he's speaking to, he's shown nothing short of frank admiration for how well Syr'nj has handled herself as a member of the Heads of Houses, and he's a genuinely doting father to his son, Taro.

In the climax, Tectonicus is killed by HR Daedalus, who at this point has ascended to the Realm of Being and has become nearly omnipotent. Daedalus is in turn killed by the combined efforts of the five (who kill his form in Arkerra), and a repentant Carol, who unplugs his life support in the Sepia World.

Fantastic Racism
 Guilded Age (Webcomic) / int_57b80b45
comment
Fantastic Racism: Gastonians (humans) mistrust humans who aren't Gastonian, then view just about every other species as some degree of inferior, with the more "acceptable" ones being those that happen to be useful to or allied with humans. They've been known to attack and wipe out entire villages populated by the races they deem "savage." While the worst of the prejudice is shown coming from the humans, no race is immune. Even the "savage races" rebelling against Gastonia see no problem using orcs as slave labor, and view them as so stupid they can't even comprehend the idea of doing something to improve their future (namely, working hard so that they won't be whipped.)

Enemy Mine
 Guilded Age (Webcomic) / int_5989e3b6
comment
Enemy Mine: When the corrupting beast attacks the World's Rebellion, the Peacemakers and the World's Rebellion Champions agree to work together to fight it. Neither side is particularly happy about it, but both agree that the threat to innocent life is too great for them to put their own conflict before stopping it. And when one of the Peacemakers has their very soul devoured in the attempt, the Champions' leader can no longer justify seeing them as just enemies. He invites the survivors to break bread with the World's Rebellion, setting the stage for later events. When the wood elves are attacked by the World's Rebellion, but saved by the Peacemakers, this is what drives them to ally with Gastonia. Later, after the above incident, the Peacemakers are betrayed by Gastonia. This drives all of them to take an opportunity to parley with the Champions, whose now-less-extreme stance allows them to form a new, stronger alliance, and end the war quickly.

The Berserker
 Guilded Age (Webcomic) / int_5c300c3b
comment
The Berserker: Subverted/deconstructed. Byron the Berserker is arguably the most level-headed, well-adjusted member of the party because he apparently lives in fear of his tendency to lose his shit and become a true, foaming at the mouth, screaming, psychotic, berserkergang killing machine. (He does enjoy a good bloodbath, though.) The condition turns out to be a supernatural and otherworldly curse, not just a useful combat buff. In fact, if there are any friendlies around, it's way more of a liability than a help: the berserker may be nearly unstoppable and inhumanly strong, but they're compelled to slaughter all living beings in sight, hostiles or not.

"The Reason You Suck" Speech: Rachel gets one from Scipio when she fails to give it her all to protect her friends from her former sisters, resulting in E-merl being kidnapped and Frigg being poisoned.

Missed the Call
 Guilded Age (Webcomic) / int_80a1d98f
comment
Missed the Call: Payet fulfills almost all the requirements of a prophecy made by a mad woman in the town and is declared the "Epic Hero". The real Epic Hero (who fulfils the one requirement Payet missed) shows up after a few days, but the mad woman has a heart attack right after, due to the strain of shouting "THE PROPHECY!" over and over.

Logical Weakness
 Guilded Age (Webcomic) / int_83641c73
comment
Logical Weakness: The Gnomish War Machine is stolen and taken on a rampage through Gnometown. The gnomes defending their town immediately surround it and go for its vulnerable treads to keep it from escaping, while Frigg climbs up the side, bashes open an access hatch, and tears it apart from the inside. While it's a terrifying siege engine capable of doing a lot of damage, its only weapons are its mass and a pair of hammer-arms, and as a result it's not terribly effective at defending itself against footsoldiers, or in a confined area.

Badass Boast: Priestlord Gigundus gets a good one, and Byron has a pretty good response to it. Later, after the Gastonians suffer a defeat at the hands of the World's Rebellion, Penk delivers one to the Peacemakers. Penk gets another one when he shoots down Harky's beliefs that peace with humans is impossible due to their traitorous nature.

Eldritch Abomination: The beast the cultists let into the world. It appears to be able to destroy people completely, in a way that appears to involve their nature as video game characters. HR Daedalus also becomes one at the climax, after having consumed a similar abomination to ascend to the Realm of Being.

Back from the Dead
 Guilded Age (Webcomic) / int_8967e17f
comment
Back from the Dead: The entire party during chapter 10. Bandit in particular makes an Unexplained Recovery at the end of chapter 11. She claims not to know how she got better and figures that Harky's blood may have had something to do with it. We later find out that she's connected to a player on Earth; presumably, Kingdoms of Arkerra doesn't have a Hardcore Mode, and this helped allow Bandit to "respawn" instead of facing a true death. Of course, Bandit herself has no idea. Byron gets resurrected again. This is later prophecized to have been the last resurrection ever. Kingdoms of Arkerra also goes permanently offline on Earth shortly after, so if Bandit's player-influenced connection is what allowed her to heal instead of die, there won't be any more of that, either.

Wham Episode
 Guilded Age (Webcomic) / int_8e20979
comment
Wham Episode: Chapter 8 ends in a Total Party Kill. And just four pages into Chapter 9, we learn it's all a MMORPG...Or is it? Chapter 25 has one of HR's employees accidentally find his way into HR's secret lab, people jars and all. HR, who up to this point had mostly been struggling to make any real progress toward his plots, murders him in cold blood, cuts off the man's arm, and in a later chapter uses it to fuel a dark ritual that puts a copy of himself inside Arkerra. Chapters 35 and 36. Rachel is erased by the corrupter beast, and Byron is captured and "killed" in a way that reawakens his Berserker Madness worse than ever before. He attacks a nearby cultist village, which the Adventurer's Guild was investigating, and spreads the Madness around. The ensuing carnage ends with the death toll in the dozens, including at the minimum Rabbit, a number of the Kickstarter characters, and Byron himself. Damn. Chapter 38, page 4. HR Daedalus, the "creator" of World of Arkerra enters the plane of Arkerra with all of his godlike powers, as the end result of his massive nihilism. Chapter 39: Over in the real world, Scipio's player Kaye is murdered by HR's thug. Chapter 45: We finally learn Arkerra's true nature: a copy created of another, very real world, warped by HR's magic into what it is now. And apparently, the five's existence across multiple realms make them the only people that can possibly stand up to him.

Genius Bruiser: Byron, the heavy-hitting berserker, is also the core tactician of the group, and often trades the role of leader/diplomat between himself, Syr'nj, and Bandit.

Deader than Dead
 Guilded Age (Webcomic) / int_bc1865fb
comment
Chapters 35 and 36. Rachel is erased by the corrupter beast, and Byron is captured and "killed" in a way that reawakens his Berserker Madness worse than ever before. He attacks a nearby cultist village, which the Adventurer's Guild was investigating, and spreads the Madness around. The ensuing carnage ends with the death toll in the dozens, including at the minimum Rabbit, a number of the Kickstarter characters, and Byron himself. Damn.

Used to Be a Sweet Kid
 Guilded Age (Webcomic) / int_be0ad6b7
comment
Used to Be a Sweet Kid: Payet seemed like a pretty nice kid before a whole town convinced him he was the The Chosen One and showered him with gifts and easy women. After finally being forced to accept that he's not some kind of prophecized, infallible, undefeatable hero, he becomes pretty subdued. When Byron offers forgiveness and friendship for it all, he embraces it, and his nicer traits are finally brought to the fore while his more selfish ones are discarded for good.

Lost in Character
 Guilded Age (Webcomic) / int_be81113b
comment
Lost in Character: Byron, Syr'Nj, Frigg, Gravedust, and Payet are all really five online gamers who are so immersed in the virtual game they're playing in that they actually think they are their characters. Which, as it turns out, they are. In the end, they're more connected to Arkerra than they are to Sepia World, which causes HR's attempt to stop them by reminding them of their origin to fail miserably.

comment
Tomato Surprise: The beginning of chapter 9 let us know that none of the adventures are "real" but its an extremely advanced experiment in virtual simulation for the online Game "Kingdoms of Arkerra" and the adventure group to be volunteers that are incapable of turning it off. HR's comments pose a philosophical question of "what is real?" when he implies Arkerra is indeed a real place, one that he 'found' through the game. He likened it to a sculptor, revealing a statue that was always in the block of marble. It is indeed a real place, albeit one that's a copy made of another world...a copy that HR indeed carved to his purposes.

Cutting the Knot: Frigg rescues kidnapped children. With her mace. Frigg tops herself there when she applies this trope to chess. She later wants answers from some kind of cryptic god-being that's been appearing in her dreams and helping her at seemingly completely random times. Not having those answers especially when the god-being was a no-show against the Corruptor Beast, which could have prevented Rachel's death, frustrates her. She beats the god-being to death.

Action Girl: Most of the female cast in the Guild, and especially the main characters. Frigg, of course, tops the list. Syr'Nj, too, although she's not as obviously female. Bandit starts out as a "pretty good" stealth character, and with enough experience is eventually able to fight a super-berserker one-on-one and win.

Sliding Scale of Robot Intelligence: The world of "Kingdoms of Arkerra" seems to be between Level II (Background NPC) and Level III (for the foreground NPC)... unless it's a typical mmorpg which would make them Level I that look like level III. With the reveal that Arkerra is a totally real world, not simply a very advanced video game, it seems to be moot.

And then it turns out H.R. was wrong; Arkerra isn't merely a virtual clone of an alternate reality, it's a whole new real reality, capable of being influenced by what's done on Earth, but not truly controlled. Of course, being forced to realize the true capability of his magic just makes things worse...

Start My Own: The effectiveness of the Gastonian Peacemakers was not lost on Harky, especially after the miserable defeat in B'ial Vezk, so in response he put forth a call to arms for a team of champions that would serve the World's Rebellion, one member from each race. It worked. Extremely well. And when the Peacemakers and the Champions worked together, they ended the war in two moves: first, challenging Harky's authority to bring the Peacemakers into the fold, then going straight for Gastonia.

Platonic Cave: Discussed by HR Daedalus. He also extends the metaphor of the cave further, suggesting that the world outside the cave ("the realm of forms") is itself a shadow of a "realm of being" that, if accessed by someone of a lesser realm, would provide them with the power to manipulate existence itself. Accessing this realm is HR's ultimate goal, one he nearly succeeds at at the story's climax.

Bandit in particular makes an Unexplained Recovery at the end of chapter 11. She claims not to know how she got better and figures that Harky's blood may have had something to do with it. We later find out that she's connected to a player on Earth; presumably, Kingdoms of Arkerra doesn't have a Hardcore Mode, and this helped allow Bandit to "respawn" instead of facing a true death. Of course, Bandit herself has no idea.

Face Palm: When a band of "adventurer's-rights enforcers" sets up their own nation on Gastonian soil, Syr'nj and Field Marshal Ardaic react in the only possible way.

Running Gag

Running Gag: The Alt Text makes a lot of "But can X see why kids love Cinnamon Toast Crunch?" jokes.

Don't Explain the Joke
 Guilded Age (Webcomic) / int_fabef10f
comment
Don't Explain the Joke: Inverted. Gravedust, easily the member of the cast most lacking in comedic ability, ends up having to pretend to be a comedian on a stage. He tells a mediocre joke about misfortune which the audience finds increasingly hilarious as he begins to explain how the joke actually depicts a very tragic situation and questions the audience's mirth.

I Call It "Vera": Bayen and Brayen, Byron's hatchets. Named after his dead brothers whom he killed while berserk.

Gadgeteer Genius: Gnomes in general, coming up with a myriad of fantastical machines with a heavy Clock Punk influence. Syr'Nj also has a touch of it with her flashbang grenades, but she's mostly a chemist.

You Mean "Xmas"
 Guilded Age (Webcomic) / int_fd497586
comment
You Mean "Xmas": Almost every race seems to have its own holiday around the winter solstice.The Gastonians have Axemas, as well as a Passing Day for giving gifts to the poor. The gnomes have (well, had) Spanner's Eve, the trolls have a Tectonicalia (similar to the Saturnalia in Ancient Rome), the Savasi dwarves have an Olympics-like competition, and the gnolls have another gift-giving holiday called Traal. Both the puns and the coincidental timing of the celebrations make perfect sense once it's revealed where Arkerra came from.

All Trolls Are Different
 Guilded Age (Webcomic) / int_fd752bc3
comment
All Trolls Are Different: Trolls are fairly smart on the whole, have orange skin, and are the leaders of the World's Rebellion. They are possessed of regenerative abilities, and Syr'Nj mentions that troll blood can be used to treat minor wounds.
