Very interesting story and concept!

I want to incorporate some of these aspects into a dnd campaign. Especially the D20 shaped world with different countries/biomes on the sides is really cool.

Doesn't say it in the blurb or tags but is LGBTQIA+! And some interesting forms of representation at that.

The characters are all flawed and fell quite real because of it, even though they veer on the edge of too much/being a stereotype at times.

The art, character designs and uses of colour are quite nice.

A few negatives:
•It feels a bit jumbled at times. The story does not quite flow as nicely.
•The faces lacked emotion at times or were not quite fitting to the text.

I am interested to see, where the story and characters go from here.
