Rumors of War (Webcomic) | comment |
Rumors of War is set in a world inspired by Mythical Greece, and falls somewhere between Alternate History and Historical Fantasy with a dash of Heroic Fantasy.The original webcomic was episodic in nature, making frequent use of time skips to cover the time (a year and a half) in-universe of its release schedule. The comic ran 500-some pages across 5 major story arcs from 2010-2011 before it went on hiatus mid-chapter into its sixth arc. The author returned to finish said chapter several months later.Following a successful Kickstarter in January 2014, the comic was revived with new characters and a new format. The new webcomic is scheduled to run a full year (going into the first part of 2015).In addition to the webcomics, there are several pieces of short fiction (character "vignettes" and an aborted serial novel) set in roughly the same time and place as the first comic.Rumors of War (2010-2011)In the wake of the War of Thessalonian Independence, also known as the Third Trojan War, a magical society struggles to right itself as it sinks into a period of decline. The palatial estates of the bronze age demigods are abandoned as a people return to a lifestyle from a simpler time while fleeing the onslaught of iron age pirates, slavers, and marauders.Probably best described as a a Situation Dramedy, or perhaps a Forensic Drama with magic (in mythical Greece!).The pages themselves are formatted to resemble screen caps from an SNES-era video game, and so the action is carried by questions, questions, mysteries, talking, questions, questions, questions, and more questions. | |

Heroes "R" Us: The Order of Orion appears to fill this role, with the main cast being members. The conditions of their recruitment, and their duties within the Order have yet to be revealed. We mostly see the cast during their downtime, or when responding to personal threats or stuff that apparently isn't covered by the Order. | |

Break the Haughty: Most of the cast go through these moments regularly to prevent their heads from getting too large. Occela seems mostly immune, if only because her status as Cloud Cuckoolander / Mystical Waif prevents her from ever getting particularly full of herself.

Two Lines, No Waiting | |
Rumors of War (Webcomic) / int_ca7ec334 | comment |
Two Lines, No Waiting: The first Story Arc assembles quite a few cast members, then splits to follow Elysia and Nenshe as they go about separate activities. Elysia goes on a routine information-gathering trip only for it to get hijacked by a mystery, while Nenshe goes about recruiting some fellow adventurers, which he does in the way that seems most natural to him. The second story arc follows a similar pattern of alternating between events that either the whole party, Elysia and Obadai, Occela, or Illyra. | |

Rumors of War (Webcomic) / int_cdbd64b | comment |
Soap Wheel (see Two Lines, No Waiting, as well): The plot moves forward with regular jumps in time, and the characters are left to explain what happened in the meantime. The third story arc (Chapters 13-18) expands on the events that followed the first story arc (Chapters 1-6). | |

Action Girl: Elysia and Illyra are shown capable of defending themselves in the comic — this is extended to Occela and Aleska since the inclusion of the vignettes. See also, Mysterious Waif, below. | |

Reasonable Authority Figure: The Order of Orion seems to be this, at least from the perspective of the characters. Also a great example of what makes the comic an Anachronism Stew. Adventurer's Guild? | |

Webcomic Time: Each Story Arc spans a few days in comic-time but takes several months to play out in real-time, and each Story Arc begins a few months after the last one ended. | |
