Rune

Lots of talking on this page, but hey, look at the pretty horses! (They are Millenium Horse).

Rune and Justin are traveling light, with bedrolls and small saddlebags. They are, however, carrying all their favorite weapons. At their hips are swords from Valheigh. On their backs are swords from Tangene and their archery gear. It’s unrealistic that they would be riding with their bows strung, but they didn’t look “right” without the strings so I opted to leave them.

During initial design, I thought the extra weapons would be strapped to the horses, but I did some research and decided Rune and Justin would choose to keep the horse’s load balanced, which is easier on the horse.

They wear different outfits when they enter the castle, and there’s clearly no room for those clothes in their saddlebags. This is an example of a detail that might make it into a prose novel but which I thought was too minor to include in a comic format: they shipped most of their belongings from Tangene via a trusted courier, and it’s in secret storage in Valheigh, waiting for their arrival.
