After working on TN&TD's draft for a year I now know where to start. Hypnogogia will serve as an introduction to the Artificer Saga Universe. Hypnogogia will primarily focus on artwork and visual story telling, Each page reflecting its environment through layered detail and dense foreshadowing.
The Island of Hypnogogia has seen the end twice now, it's landscape littered with history's whispers, from the eroded ruins of The Arena, to the lush biomechanical jungle of Nokutla. Some of Hypnogogia's denizens are beholden to the secrets from a time long past, when ruins hummed with life. Others made of synthetic muscle, and engineered immune systems, creatures built in a time of collapse when men killed men. in their desperate drive for survival they found easier ways to fight their battles. Biomechanical sentient weapons sleep in the dark corners of sealed labs.
History dreads a relic.
