Shaderunners is a historical fantasy webcomic written by Lin Darrow and drawn by Alex Assan. Set in a fictional city reminiscent of a big American city in the 1920s, it centers around a poor gang called the Shaderunners, who have the goal of making sure everyone is able to glimpse color in a black and white world.Find it here.

Far East: Through context clues given by Ivo, the country of Orolin seems to borrow its identity from Asian cultures. It even serves as the country furthest east from the story's setting of Galos.

Just Like Robin Hood
 Shaderunners (Webcomic) / int_2da5273e
comment
Just Like Robin Hood: The Shaderunners consider themselves this—their goal is purely to make sure that color doesn't wind up exclusively in the hands of the elite, with no chance for the poorer classes to experience it.

Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right!: The whole gang has this kind of attitude—their belief that everyone deserves to have access to color, not just the wealthy elite, leads them to lie, steal, and break into secure facilities in the name of fairness.

Future Slang
 Shaderunners (Webcomic) / int_60441d9
comment
Future Slang: Well, technically past slang. The characters use a lot of made-up slang meant to mimic the sound of 1920s North American slang. "Shards/jagged shards/shards and garters" = general exclamation of surprise "Palpitatin'" = worrying "Had a flat tire in Dreamland" = been spacy/out of it "Keep it above water" = be honest about it

Capitalism Is Bad
 Shaderunners (Webcomic) / int_8b60a09b
comment
Capitalism Is Bad: Given that it takes place in a fantasy 1920s North America, this is understandable. In the world of Shaderunners, everything is black and white, but the "gilts"—the wealthy—have gotten ahold of color, and they don't plan on sharing.

Wham Episode: Chapter 9. While attempting to steal the color Faunet's Green from the Verinder Laboratories, Domigo burns his eye and is scarred, turning his left eye green. He wears an eyepatch onwards as a result. Chapter 10, where the gang learns that not only do the gilts already have color, but know how to process synthetic color and have a broad-reaching plan to market it to the public for massive gains.

Foreshadowing: Domigo's side-glances towards Ezra throughout Act I come to a head in Act II, Chapter 2. Despite knowing about his relationships with Easton and Lord Hareton, Domigo kisses Ezra at the opera and gets the cold shoulder for it.

Tarot Motifs

comment
Tarot Motifs: The fictional card game of Masque takes many inspirations from the real world tarot, while inserting Shaderunner's lore and historical figures. During a round, the gang gets handed out roles by Satinder based on their personality and nationality: Domigo = Poet of Ashes, a Tourmish historical figure who composed an illegal poem detailing the book-burning crimes of the Royal House of Joya that was so inspiring, it led to a coup. Easton = The Citrine Hunter, a pirate of uncertain origin famous for her illicit affair with Queen Sorizahana of the First-Land. Ezra = The Great Crowned Hart, a stag motif based on the Paravinian god of rulers. Pamina = Knight of Skies, a mythological First-Land cartographer who charted the night skies for the sun god Zoll to chase after the moon god Ara. Ivo = The Yearning Songbird, an Oroline legend whose siren's call touches the hearts of the uncertain, leading them to either clarity or death. Satinder = Maid of Western Waters, a figure in Autrian folklore. Also name dropped were the The Rogue Lark, The Idle King, Moon in Flight, and The Music Divine.
