Kinni Studios presents:
What is "Falendor?"
In late 2012, frustrated over the fact that I had more stories to tell than time to draw and publish them, I took a break. While training for a new job, I had a chance to flesh my characters out by reading fantasy novels on my limited downtime, taking a page from their 'playbook.' I decided to create a mythical land in comic-style. What I came up with was a collection of adventures that run the gambit of heroes, villains, monsters, fairy folk, royalty and the like all with one underlying factor, that somewhere down in the depths of all creatures, no matter what your background, belief, class or even race, they share more similarities than differences. I took these adventures and added a humorous twist to them because that's what I do.
A fan once told me that one of the reasons she likes reading my comics is because she likes to, "see that world through my eyes. The way things happen unconventionally." This is what I've tried to install into this Kingdom. Listed below are introductions to their respective stories.
This is the intro you will find in every comic book:
"In a time before man as we know him and the old story tellers. When creatures of all shapes and sizes roamed the land. Where magic mists and dragon smoke were as one. There existed a land where all worlds and planes came together. Creatures big and small roamed these lands, inhabitants of this world, a life force if you would, to feed the magic and secrets that sustained the land. These are their stories, placed here so as not to be lost. These are the tales of ... Falendor: The Forgotten Kingdom."
Here are a few of the stories you will find in the comic books.
"Lost in the woods, three young Orcs on patrol are separated from their group while chasing a Pixie. Thinking that it is her magic that keeps them going in circles, lost in the very same woods they were patrolling.
Now, Grog, Flem and Trunk are in for their own adventure, lost ... in Orc Hollow."
"Trying to prove himself in a world where chivalry is but a rumor, honor is only whispered of and courageousness is reserved for all but the dead, our Hero is in search of the mystical, Ring of Eternity. He battles on through every quest hoping that after each encounter he is one step closer to achieving his prize.
He is courageous, dependable and without a clue ... he is, Sir Raymond of Dale."
These are just the beginning of the many stories of Falendor: The Forgotten Kingdom.
I am not sure how this will end up but, I do know that I am going to enjoy this land and watching its inhabitants grow.

"To you, Falendor, I pledge myself
To be strong brave and true;
To stand against and oppose all threats,
If need be, with only a few.
For I am the keeper of this Kingdom
And her wonders I will share;
For every rock, tree and creature
Of this land, so shall I care."
-The Creed of The Royals
To be strong brave and true;
To stand against and oppose all threats,
If need be, with only a few.
For I am the keeper of this Kingdom
And her wonders I will share;
For every rock, tree and creature
Of this land, so shall I care."
