Chapter 15 Page 7
May 3rd, 2017We found the supplier of Defiant Elk’s books! Willem is a factor (a type of agent with a lot of autonomous authority) for his yet-to-be-introduced employer. Follow the money; even on the frontier. The relationship of the Dutch… I mean Kleefish… and the natives was grounded in trade. Willem and Elk’s relationship is based on this reality.
Willem is Aphrike-Kleefish and comes from the Kleefish colonies in Antillia, which are sometimes called the Isles of Dread because of the horrific cruelty of the plantations, the wood-eating water worms, the heat, the storms, the insects, and the prevalence of malignant disease spirits that lurk there. That Willem is a factor in Zollhaven means he’s a long way from where he started.
Please vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comics to see what Willem is up to next!
Antillia = Antilles, I presume?
That would be reasonable assumption. I like using older or historical alternative names for places.
Nice of Elk to help his contact out like that.
The author’s note is a great follow-up to today’s scene, thank you! It looks like the Dutch…err…Netherlands…err Kleefish colony is under martial law and at least one person has his wits about him enough to have an escape route planned. I hope he makes it!
And Defiant Elk is such a nerd. When asked about martial law, he gives the book answer.
See, and here I thought Elk had already reached maximum hotness. But then I find out he loves books as well? ^_^ <3 <3 <3
He’s quite fond of books and willing to got to extreme lengths to protect them. See Chapter 11, Page 26.
