Book 3, Chapter 8, Page 6 Hey Everyone! I love having Marion and Henri around as more 'proper' Dhuvalians. While Christophe is deeply beholden to Dhuvlia's ideals, he's not really a typical member of their culture, and Volteza is a classic iconoclast. This means that its usually up to Marion and Henri to convey things like the actual cultural norms of the APD (both to B-Ray and to the reader, in general).

Book 3, Chapter 8, Page 5 Hey Everyone! This scenario is actually based on a real moment that happened to me in Morocco, years and years ago. I speak garbage French, but after spending a month immersed in the language I was actually getting quite decent at it. Of course, I only realized this after storming away from a shouting match with a very frustrating merchant. It also looks like, in addition to her increased acumen with Dhuvalian, Betsy-Ray's wrist has finally recovered!  Thanks for reading, - Luther out

Hey Everyone!

A strange thing for Ownsmann Macon to focus on, but what is he trying to take away from all this? Only time will truly tell.

Hey Everyone!

It appears that the replacement fee for Limb pilots is more expensive than once believed, as if things weren't hard enough. Perhaps Sumner is wise for exploring alternative recruitment strategies?

Hey Everyone!

It appears that even Ownsmann Macon has his limits... it also appears that some things simply aren't right with the war effort. Then again, since when has a war ever gone right?

Hey Everyone!

This little comic is called 'My Life at War', so it might be important to show how this war is actually going. Major credit to Matt for displaying the sheer variety of news outlets available in the Free Market. While the Free Market might be a small 'country', it has an extremely outsized media footprint, and well... one goes to war with the army they have, not the army they want.

Also, we’ve reached our latest Patron milestone, which means that I will be doing monthly lore writeups exclusive to our patrons. You can check out our first lore dump on the Gang Culture of Treadhaven here.

Hey Everyone! 

“There is more to people, than heroes, villains and victims." I see a lot of myself in Dizzee's character. Then again, as a writer, I see a lot myself in most of the characters in MLaW. Dizzee just wants to succeed, according to the model of success the Free Market has presented him. A model that he has repeatedly failed within, and a model that has likely failed him quite a bit as well. Still, despite that, he keeps climbing. Nothing can stop him. However, what society describes as 'successful' and what it describes as 'trivial' might not be healthy. In fact, it might not be good at all.

It looks like some part of Dizzee is still not alright with this situation, but how long can that last?

Hello Everyone! Why, is that the return of financial magnate Ulysses Sumner? In fact, it is! As the war drags on, the competition for quality personnel is getting fierce, it seems. Which would also means that the prospect of acquiring new war fighting talent is becoming expensive, and that... well, that just won't do.

Poaching employees is a dangerous, and tricky business when you come from a place where contracts are the only law. However, some might see benefits that outweigh their costs.

Hello Everyone!!

Clandestine armored limos and complimentary narcotics are a common feature of shady business in The Free Market. Just what all of these limos are doing, taking them out to a blacked out tent in the middle of nowhere... well... Let's just say that Christophe is right.

Hey Everyone!

With this we see the other interesting element of culture clash: the discovery of shared values. There's something fascinating in meeting a people totally different from your own, but finding out that they too cling to some of the same things your own people treasure.

My favorite example is that no matter where you go in the world, mothers always appreciate a healthy appetite.
