"Phobia" (lots of text and art!) (Patreon)

The article on nationalities is written C: We are waiting for the translation and will be ready to post it as soon as possible! In the meantime, here's an unexpected bunch of characters and fresh art of the Phobia. This is a very old story of ours, one of the first major stories in Shanghanian lore that we worked on in 2013. The passage of time has resulted in some characters disappearing into oblivion, but others have survived and been given a second chance.

So, the characters:

- Móric. Singlitary, earned the last, most respected title of euclase, his specialization "tsourai". A very smart and capable scientist, who has reached heights in his work that most singlitarians cannot reach even in their old age. He is both a part-time cannibal and a brutal killer, and his desire is to taste dishes made from tsourai flesh.

- Dourmaul. A native of Latori. He matches his friend, Móric, and doesn't have any moral principles to follow. An excellent cook, all his life he dreamed of expanding the horizons of his talent and skills. He cooked the meat of any creature, from beetles and sujidaro, to dogs and dragons. There were thoughts about cooking meat that was more exotic. Obsessive thoughts.

- Shtukes. Sualokin, Dourmaul's maverick, whom he endowed with the talent for cooking (sadly).

- Ceily. Millionaire and a huge fan of science, founder and owner of the famous "Museum of Curses", as well as a philanthropist well-known among the singlitarians. A young man who is both nervous and paranoid, but also very kind-hearted. His little sister and cinnamon donuts are more important to him than anything else in this world. He is surrounded by bodyguards on a daily basis.

- Roger. Grahn in disguise, having left his native Ayelahai and settled right in the center of the Nouri capital. He is an outstanding fashion designer, which is not at all surprising for the grahn. Quickly made a fortune and made a name for himself. A cold, poisonous person, he doesn't like mortals and considers them selfish, empty, and not worthy of sympathy. 

Well-known in a variety of circles, his house regularly hosts private parties for wealthy singlitaries, famous actors and other lovers of the beautiful life. Collects other people's secrets. Takes dream threads from mortals' nightmares and weaves them into fabrics that he sews clothes from.

- Arthur. A former singlitarian, heliodorus, is currently on the run. He left the singlit saving tsourai from there, stealing them right from under Móric’s nose. Every day Arthur risks his life, simply existing with other singletarians side by side in the same city, but continues to do his favorite work, only now as an independent alchemist. Provides the services of an alchemist in secret for those who do not want or cannot cooperate with official circles. Votes for justice, but is driven by his own moral compass and can break the law if he considers it necessary. He robs the homes of some Gao citizens at night, taking rare ingredients for his experiments. Created a golem named Lisa. Arthur owns a white ball python and an apartment in a building with a blind concierge, who is assisted by a tame parrot.
