Oathbreaker: A Dark Fantasy Web Serial-Art Collection and A Poem

Hey folks, some of you have asked for this so I've compiled all the art I've had commissioned for this story over the past year and change. I honestly didn't realize just how many I had! I will add more to this page over time as I get further work done, and I may also keep the same list on my patreon, or personal website whenever I get around to updating that.

Art By Tofuyi

Alken looks into a reflection of his past self.

A battered Alken is judged by his past, and found wanting.

A Knight of the Alder Table, at least in dreams.

Catrin of Ergoth, dressed for a festive night at the Backroad Inn.

Emma Orley, once Carreon, Daughter of Shrikes

New n𝙤vel chapters are published on novelbuddy.cσ๓.

Pernicious Shyora, Tormentsister, She Who Listens

Alken Hewer, Headsman of Seydis

Vicar and Tormentsister whisper into the Headsman's ears.

I'm presently working on arc 2 revisions, and hope to start posting updated chapters for the first two arcs soon. These will look pretty different, and are intended to reflect a more consistent reading experience. I'll give arc 3 the same treatment over the next few months. They'll include altered scenes, additional scenes, and an overall cleaner narrative for new readers and anyone who goes back to reread the older chapters before we stub (which I don't expect to happen until 2026, but I do not have any solid information on that yet so don't quote me on it). As for the ongoing story, I don't expect to start posting again for a few weeks. My focus is on updating the older arcs right now, but I'm also planning out the continuing narrative and getting myself ready to dive back into regular releases once I can devote all my attention to it.

I have to have at least five hundred words to make a post on RR, so here's some bonus content. This poem is one of the first bits of writing I ever did for the setting that would eventually become the world of Oathbreaker.

The Dark Lord Reigns in Antriss

The Dark Lord reigns in Antriss

Land of shadow and obscuring mist

Where mountains lie under darkened sky

And a strange sea meets the shore.

In this land there is no bliss

Unless one longs for winter’s kiss

Where armies vie and heroes die

And dreadful things are born.

Here roam souls long amiss

Fearful of the black Abyss

Where forests wind on tangled lines

And dead men guard the door.

Here it’s best to not remiss

Of the fairer days you miss

Where nightmares bind the strongest mind

And the night you will abhor.

The wise are those who know this

The Dark Lord reigns in Antriss

Where the bravest cry and hope goes awry

And the end came long before.
