✦ NEW SIDE PROJECT ✦

Moments of Solace – a regular illustrated anthology with tales from around the Solace archipelago. Learn more about the history of Solace, and get a little more insight into the origins of the world you'll arrive in, in this slice-of-life, world-building companion piece to the game.

The first chapter – Token – is available now.

Read it below, or go to our itch.io page to get a free PDF copy. Enjoy :)

three characters sitting and standing by the waterside — 1

zoom in on a character collecting clay and other materials — 2

a character loads a basket onto the back of a giant tortoise and guides it home to their hut — 3

shows the process of crafting a small necklace, such as shaping and firing — 4

shows a necklace in one hand as another reaches over, then two characters embracing one with the necklace in hand — 5

Our plan is to publish a new chapter of Moments of Solace every few months, with each one focusing in on a different character from Solace's past. This time we looked at an Angonokan mask shaper and the process behind her craft, in the next we’ll dive into the eastern regions of the archipelago and the Seafolk clans that inhabit its shores.

Stay tuned for more silent stories and serene moments in this search for Solace.
