Master of the Taiga

This would be Mestari Kircanju, a forestcousin, which is the Inultaru’s version of a werewolf. Their animal shape is not so much a wolf as a wolverine, or fisher cat, and they can be as large as a bear or a man, or as small as a sled dog.

The Center, the Sphere, the Bowl of Time

Yost’s source for this image is probably a gatehouse mask made by the Buliopenbex Cabal.

A Corsican Escape Through Sheetrock and Cork

The penultimate panel in “The Conundrum of the Swivetbee Mews”.

I have noticed that when most people use the word “penultimate”, even good writers who should know better, they seem to think it means the big revelation, the last word or the climax of the story.

It just means second to the last.
