Line 7: '' It is a world of magic...mystery...and [[World of Buxom\|really big boobs]]! '' }} '''''[http://www.exiern.com/ Exiern]''''' is a fantasy ~~webcomic~~web comic written by Drowemos (despite the obvious connections to [[Drowtales\|dark elves]] and [[Emo\|whiny teenagers]], it's actually [[Sdrawkcab Name\|"some word" spelled backwards]]) and illustrated initially by Drowemos (2005), then by Studio Boom (2005 - 2010) and currently by Shipeng Lee of [[Drowtales]] (2010-). Recently, the comic was sold to Dan Standing, as Drowemos got tired of working on it. The writing duties have since been handed off to Thomas Knapp, the writer for [[Megatokyo]]'s Endgames light novels. The plot, which began as a riff off of [http://www.thewotch.com/?epDate=2003-05-14 an early storyline of] ''[[The Wotch]]'', is relatively simple: a hulking barbarian is fighting against an evil wizard. About to fall by the hero's sword, the wizard tries to use his dying breath to transform him into an animal, but somehow makes him [[Gender Bender\|a woman]] instead. [[First Law of Gender Bending\|Since it can't be undone]], the barbarian, now going by the name of Tiffany, goes on a variety of adventures. Line 107: * [[Orphaned Etymology]]: the world of Exiern contains "yaoi porn", "bandaids", and "Hallmark Cards" (Though the reference to that last one included "whatever that is", implying that the speaker was getting outside information due to his [[Evil Hand\|unusual condition.]] [[Leeroy Jenkins]] is also name dropped. * [[Poisonous Captive]]: This was Faden's entire schtick. Captured a couple of strips in, spent almost the entire time in captivity, and still proved to be an effective villain the entire time * [[Praetorian Guard]]: The King's Personal Guards. They have big scary armour, [[~~BFS~~Blade of Fearsome Size\|Really Big Magical Swords]] and most tellingly, have been the only people in the comic to outfight Tiffany, managing to knock her out and throw her in a jail. * [[Punny Name]]: Neils and Bhors, as [[Those Two Guys]]. * [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: Cytx, when his [[Evil Hand]] takes over. Line 115: * [[Scary Shiny Glasses]]: Denver breaks them out [http://www.exiern.com/?p=1422 here], as he transitions from nerdish bookworm, to guy who makes the laws of magic his bitch.. * [[Sdrawkcab Name]]: "Drowemos" has nothing to do with [[Dungeons & Dragons\|elves]] and even less to do with [[Emo\|whiny failed goth wannabes]]; in fact, it was just a sarcastic response to someone who suggested he pick "some word" as a pen name. * [[Set Swords to Stun]]: The King's [[Praetorian Guard]] actually ''can'' do this, their [[~~BFS~~Blade of Fearsome Size]] are [http://www.exiern.com/?p=907 shown crackling with magic] and the next comic has Tiff waking up in a cell with a headache. * [[Shameful Strip]]: Turns up too many times to count, but always [[Played for Laughs]]. * [[Shout-Out]]: Line 130: * [[Tomato Surprise]]: {{spoiler\|Denver is actually a larval dragon, a fact that Tiffany found out when she found Denver's half-transformed sister. Denver does not yet know.}} * [[Transformation Comic]] * [[~~Transsexualism~~Transgender]]: One (but just one) of the Gender Bent priests seems quite thrilled by the prospects of his newfound femininity. (The rest find his/her reaction to be ''extremely'' annoying.) * [[Unicorn]]: Its "purity" helps Tiffany resist Faden's magic, thankfully Tiff doesn't seem to have worked out the implications of that. Said unicorn has also helped Peonie on several occasions, but recoils from her touch... again, for obvious reasons. * [[Villainy-Free Villain]]: Teresa. Is the opposition for Denver's hand, and also is comfortable and pleased with her transformation into a woman. To balance out her having to endure a near constant stream of insults (including accusations of paedophilia) from Tiffany because of this, she is thankfully a snob and a bit (unwittingly) racist, so we can all feel comfortable hating her.
