Wayfarer's Moon

Wayfarer's Moon is a high fantasy webcomic written by Jason Janicki and drawn by Leigh Kellogg.

After half-elf Iri rescues Lily from a couple of bandits, Lily wants Iri to help her become strong and begins to travel with her. At the same time, Zhellick Il-Mark, Baron of Setcliff, enslaved the shapeshifter Haith. He forces her to do his dirty work for him. This undoubtedly will set him on a collision course with the two women.

This comic updates every Tuesday.


 * Action Girl: Both Lily and Iri, but Iri is clearly the more experienced.
 * Alleth might be a darker example.
 * Khavra is a Black Magician Girl
 * An Axe to Grind: Lily's weapon of choice.
 * Ancestral Weapon: Lily's axe.
 * The Archer: Iri.
 * Authority Equals Asskicking: Lord Zhellick is a powerful wizard.
 * Badass Long Robe: Iri.
 * Berserk Button: Khavra goes nuts when.
 * Bi the Way: Iri, though with a bit of a twist: she's bi with elves but a lesbian where humans are concerned (to date her only known lovers are a female human and a male elf). So far no word on how this would work out with fellow half-elves...
 * Black Eyes of Evil: Lord Zhellick.
 * Blonde Brunette Redhead: Lily, Iri and Khavra. It becomes more complicated when you add Haith to this.
 * Brother-Sister Team: Khavra and Khevresh.
 * The Chessmaster: Lord Zhellick.
 * Cliff Hanger: At the end of each chapter.
 * Crystal Ball: Zhellick has a big bowl of liquid that he uses for scrying.
 * Cute Monster Girl: Haith.
 * Doomed Hometown: Lily's.
 * Dream Sequence: When Iri is badly hurt, someone from her past visits her.
 * Elemental Powers: Iri seems to be doing well with wood especially.
 * Establishing Character Moment: The first few pages make it very clear Iri is not to be messed with.
 * Evil Virtues: It's clear Zhellick loves his son, because when Lord Darcil only glares at the boy, . He also still.
 * Fate Worse Than Death: the man who Iri leaves tied to a tree.
 * Whatever Lord Darcil was sucked into, did not seem friendly.
 * Five Races: Sharply averted. To date we've seen seven or eight sapient races (eight or nine counting half-elves) in Wayfarer's Moon and aside from the inevitable humans, elves and half-elves none seem to conform obviously to the usual stock high fantasy races.
 * Good Scars, Evil Scars: Averted. Though Lady Laera's face is disfigured, she she seems to be one of those brave hero-types.
 * Half-Human Hybrid: Iri is a half-elf.
 * Halloween Cosplay: This happens on two pages out of continuity.
 * High Fantasy
 * Hired Guns: Mistress Alleth.
 * I Have You Now, My Pretty: Lily first meets Iri when she saves her from this situation.
 * Lipstick Lesbian: Iri, though only where humans are concerned (see Bi the Way above).
 * Medieval European Fantasy
 * Ms. Fanservice: Haith's outfit at least puts her close to this territory...
 * Naive Newcomer: Lily.
 * Nature Spirit: Do not hurt these, if you want to stay on Iri's good side.
 * Nothing Up My Sleeve: Alleth has.
 * Older Than They Look: Iri.
 * Our Gargoyles Rock: Though it only comes to life to become a magical weapon for a short time.
 * Properly Paranoid: Shaw calls Iri out for being too distrustful. With everything that has happened up until then, she's probably right to be.
 * Roaring Rampage of Revenge: What Khavra is on.
 * Short Cuts Make Long Delays
 * Voluntary Shapeshifting: Haith.
 * Water Wakeup: Iri does this to Lily when she begins her training.
