Hi ml! I've been lurking quite often too. I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your bookmarks...

I'm afraid the comic really hasn't updated at all because... I'm scum. No, well, because life has been extremely busy. I have drawn one page. Hopefully I will be back soon. Got so much going on >.<
So it's likely that it hasn't moved on since you last read it...

You should refresh your poll, though, because since I voted I've changed my mind on which one is my favorite character....

(Also, is it wrong that I keep waiting for the bird on Kieran's head to turn out to be a god in disguise or something equally crazy?)

I checked and I have 'allow re-votes' turned on, so I assume you should just be able to change your vote?

That would be funny if the bird was something special! I really should get back to drawing. I have some plans for the bird I really want to get to.

Oooh, I didn't know we could do that, but I just tried and it let me! Thanks!

I admit, I do go check out the webcomic a couple times a week. >.< I know it's silly and you're probably busy but hope springs eternal, and all that.

Meanwhile I entertain myself trying to figure out origami folds, as that's the only possible cartography measure I can think of that would have a chance of working.... Maybe do the map on starched cloth so you can ink the places on, fold it into the current status, and then when things change, wash the starch out and refold it to the new place...
Except the cities don't stay put in relation, either, which means you'd need, hmmmm

Okay are there people who keep pigeons? Because now I'm wondering how the birds migrate! And maybe someone who kept birds of one kind might notice birds of other kinds and have a clue...

Ahaha. I'm sure the cartographers are probably thinking of similar ways, unless they all gave up and died out, which I doubt!

Quite likely the birds are confused, but there is an artificial sun in the centre of the hourglass, so they probably migrate from the centre to the edges of the hourglass. The priests keep (giant) pigeons, so maybe they know.

Thank you for believing in me and checking back so much. I do have one new page I've drawn, I'll try and do some. I really do want to. Work and trying to get myself a proper full-time position has been hard. It's a pity that the kind of work I do takes up so much of my own time...

Yeah, life has this strange habit of continuing on, and not waiting for us...

I just figure, anything so vivid and persistent has a fair chance of continuing anyhow, so I keep checking. Besides! I want to see what happens next! Hee hee.

I hope you find your dream job, though. I know how hard it is, to be searching.

Hey author! I forgot I've been following your work back in 2014 when I was active on this site. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw this thread again. I'm falling in love all over with your story again!

Have you ever thought of posting your work in webtoons? The site is getting more and more popular.
