...I want to hate this, as it breaks my brain a little.

What does Emperor Sythe plan to do with any humans his forces capture?

How many squirrel spies does he have?

Sythe looks so badass as the emperor

Another great AU from this week! Love the Emperor Sythe's uniform. Really fits with the Roman-inspired feel of the Wolf tribes and names. I also like the beacons on the tactical map and the use of the scrying stone for long distance communication. Awesome work as always, Tom! Congrats, Prose!

Zen: "This new deal with the queen of the Fox Pirates has proven most advantageous. With the elimination of the Basitin Armada's threat, the humans have lost what few allies they had left. All that remains is to clean up the last few pockets of resistance." Sythe: "Mmm... That band of rabble led by the purple-haired tavern wench has been most irksome. They're our first priority." Zen: "I shall see to it personally that they are suitably dealt with." Sythe: "You are free to use any methods necessary, but I want the girl alive. No disintegrations." Zen: *Smirks.* "It shall be done, my Emperor." Sythe: "Once they are dealt with, my conquest shall be complete. There will be none left who would dare to oppose the reign of Emperor Sythe, High Alpha of all Mekkan." Natani: "Take care, my Lord. You may yet have enemies... closer than you realize." *Readies knife beneath cloak.*

When I saw it on stream I could think only about writing a fanfic so... Here you go! https://www.reddit.com/r/Twokinds/comments/qw7lpf/banished_hero_prologue/

It probably is a wolf or other keidran figure because, to quote Obi Wan Kenobi, "That's no moon." It appears to be some type of communications or scrying magic positioned above the table. Perhaps similar in concept to the scrying ball seen in the comic: https://twokinds.keenspot.com/comic/1157/

Dark wolf...with a cute side.

For a sec I thought that was a slightly feral Nibbs napping on his shoulder.

I feel like this shows a side of Sythe that is there but will never manifest itself unless pushed over the edge (like Trace). It's always the kind ones, isn't it? If he had chosen to side with his kind and fulfill his duties as a diplomat from the very beginning, he could have worked his way up to general at the very least, and woe to a world that opposes him.

Sythe's dying breath: "...but *erk* you... had... *ngh* such fabulous hair!" *dies*

Now I'm kind of wanting a crossover where it's the Twokinds cast standing in as the characters of The Meek, would be interesting :) Is there a Wolf Keidran in the moon here, or is it just me?

I can see Natani trying to backstab Sythe with that hidden knife while Zen keeping him busy. I really like this AU. Seems more Darker and shows what would the characters become in there evil timelines.
