There's some classic Unsounded browser trickery here, in case anyone doesn't see it (it's Sette dropping down, swinging around a bit on a couple of pages)

Oh, and in case someone didn't notice (I didn't at first) there's text on the browser tabs and page titles replacing the regular "chapter name page number" stuff. Nothing mind blowing, but in case someone missed it so far in this scene with the black backgrounds, starting with the drop-down page it reads:

1) (nothing different, just the usual format)

2) oww...

3) AAHHH!

4) Oh, right...

5) Did I go blind like Matty?

6) Is that...?

maybe there will be more if this sequence continues.

Also, it said on the front-page Ash has some personal stuff going on (travel for an unexpected funeral) so no updates next week.

this should have been a sign. F

also I think this more or less confirms people's thoughts about Murkoph being Ssael. We've probably just seen what the being pawing at the cracked tower looks like from the other side. And look at those lion jaws!

ashley said a while ago that he was ssaelit, but not ssael. ssael also seemingly arrives when he’s still in ilganyag’s nest

we saw the entity inside the khert somewhere in the last chapter, with Ilganyag's "ah, look who finally showed up", but I can't immediately find the page.

It's a shame the script doesn't pre-load the next page's image, it hits slightly different when the arrow loads in first and then everything else shows up.

Never quacked for this
my developer brain is immediately thinking of ways to prevent the arrow from showing early
probably just add a display:none and a little onLoad handler to unhide the arrow once the pic's loaded.

Do you think this is funny?
This history of lions is interesting because, taken at face value, it suggests Ssaelism was once considered a threat to the whole Gefunder world rather than some weird Alderode thing. Otherwise, I can't see anyone outside Alderode and Cresse caring enough to exterminate lions. So either the Ssaelit movement once had much wider reach than I'd previously understood, or there's some other reason all the lions were killed.

There is of course the possibility that the range of lions didn't extend beyond Alderode to begin with.

I think I remember that being a thing Cope said in her ask/tell stuff in the past, but I might be remembering wrong.

I don't think it was like they didn't exist outside of Alderode, just that "north" tended to be their primary range.

I guess that stuff could be subject to change, or I might not entirely remember correctly, but what KOG said above sounds vaguely right.

Now, that doesn't necessarily invalidate any of this though:

Honestly Sette is at peak comedy any time she is asserting moral authority on religious grounds.

Someone in the Khert's been collecting memories of Sette, and hiding them beneath the boughs of the neverborn. Seems late in this part of the tale for a new character unless they're gonna be important in the next book. That'd leave Tittybird or Murkoph or the babby lion that was with the two of them last we saw Murk?

It's been shown in comic already who has been doing it.

Tittybird. We see her collecting the stuff in some of the earlier chapters.

Are there other unsounded communities apart from /co/, r/unsounded, discord and other discord?

Ashley the Unsounded author posted:

Not that I know of. I think it used to get some play on the SomethingAwful forums but probably not so much now.

lol. Kinda true, but this is the only place I really discuss the comic, especially since apparently posting an ask on tumblr requires an account now and I'm not bothering with that other stuff.

Not sure if that means she knows this thread exists, but it doesn't sound like she pays it any mind, which probably is just as well.

I guess the discussion here is slow because for the most part things only fire up here when there's something going on in the comic someone wants to talk about, as opposed to being some sort of fandom chat or crew or whatever.
