Demon's Due: Difference between revisions

''[[Demon's Due]]'', by Jeff Fairbourn, aka [http://faile35.deviantart.com/ Faile35], is an on-going [[Dark Fantasy]] series based in a fictional setting similar to Medieval Europe to some extent. The major difference is that most of the important occupations and political positions are filled by women instead of men, mostly for reasons of [[Author Appeal]]. Oddly, the series manages to avert any sexism against men (mostly because the author of the series is male, himself). The series is told as a series of illustrations penned by the author himself, rather than as a comic or literature based story, though underneath the image there will often be a caption of text explaining the circumstances. The series is about a group of women and their struggles against often overwhelming odds, {{spoiler|and usually ending up on the losing end}}.

=== '''STORYStory SYNOPSIS'''Synopsis ===

''Demon's Due'' is an anthology with an overarcingoverarching story that each chapter progresses in some way. What fits it into that format is that each chapter has a different female protagonist that ventures forth and tries to solve the rash of strange activity happening in the locale. The stories cover their struggles in their respective expeditions.

{{spoiler|At the end of every chapter, the women are ''always'' on the losing end, becoming bound, gagged, and stripped down to their birthday suits, and then dragged off to the lair of the villains, The Undercellar. There, they will be sacrificed in order to free Lady Maladyne, an evil sorceress that's been sealed within her own castle. They're to take her place via [[Equivalent Exchange]]. Once freed, she will take control of the land once again.}}

* [[The Dragon]]: So far, Jervil has taken on this role, {{spoiler|but it might be more of a case of [[The Starscream]] and [[Dragon Withwith an Agenda]]. Thus far, Jervil has been shown to be a very dishonest and disloyal character}}.
