About

Temporality takes place in a universe with magic flowing through its arteries... shaped by the actions of godlike entities billions of years ago. Throughout this universe's vast lifespan, many creatures take advantage of what they call 'highways' to travel between planets. While this isn't particularly safe, it has allowed many civilisations to explore the universe with more ease then we might assume.

Unfortunately, many creatures do not have altruistic goals in mind. The ease of travel leads to conflicting ideals, and often the resulting clashes have bloody consequences.

For over two thousand years, this war-torn universe experienced a period of relative peace. Even the most militaristic empires are quiet, either occupied by civil concerns, humbled by the appearance of their deities, or are merely... biding their time before they continue their pursuit of research.

However, there are rumours that the peace might soon be over. It's a sad fact that societies tend to forget their past mistakes— even for species as long lived as the zmei and elves. The people in power long for the times of the past.

Of course, the average person doesn't have much to do with all that nonsense.
Instead, this is a story about these idiots.

Temporality follows the employees of a "former" witch, and the people of ill repute that they come into contact with. Under the guise of being an "archivist", she sends them off to collect items, information, a sandwich, or whatever other random task she thinks of at the time.

And with three of her employees being outcast elven wizards, they have little reason to refuse her. Where else would they get the experience to perfect their craft?

 

Temporality started from making a few characters and worldbuilding concepts for fun. Eventually, I decided to make some actual stories out of it, though it took time to find something that I felt worked well enough to finish.

I have a fondness for stories set in a detailed world, while the characters you follow have (almost) nothing to do with whatever issues bubble under the surface. While I do have some ideas for larger scale stories in the future and there are some characters that are more 'important' lorewise, Temporality centers around the lives of shady wizards, not world-saving heroes.

 

Content Warnings

This comic is intended to be rather lighthearted, despite the darker elements within the setting itself.

While the current chapters are fine for general audiences, some future chapters may contain strong language, violent content and body horror, so this is a warning in advance. There might be other warnings in the future, but those are the ones that leap out in my mind.

About the Author / Artist

Hey, I'm Dana. I live somewhere in Australia where I do Australian things. It's probably obvious by how niche this project is, but I did all the writing and art in this comic. In the past, I've also done the odd bit of work for other Australian comic writers, or as a colourist.

As for my interests... I like bugs. There's something special about their chitinous nature. I still don't really like them touching me or intruding upon my sink though.

Sometimes I play video games. In fact, I think you should play Morrowind as soon as you're done reading my comic. Not any of the other Elder Scrolls games. Just Morrowind please. I also like cooking. In fact, I'm making beef bourguignon while I'm typing this. I've never made it before. I don't even think I could pronounce it. But by the time I publish this website the beef bourguignon would've been well and truly made. Hopefully it went well.
