Howdy, fellow Draconiacs! RazorFox here.
I know it’s been a while, and this page got bogged down with a ton of artist block, particularly in how to portray the events in the final two panels. After quite a bit of experimenting, I finally got something I was happy with and worthy of the life-altering experience of having one’s magick stripped. What will become of the now-powerless Meta? And where did Saph go? Answers are coming soon. Stay tuned!
Take care, my fellow Draconiacs, and thanks for your continued support!

Welp, this is going to spark a civil war if anything. Class strife will tear the city apart long before any tiger breaches the walls.
Tigers in not good state. Let me remind you that tigers suffer from volcano too and we didn’t see that tigers use siege engines. They not pass or breach the wall, especially if queen live there.
I think the whole point of bringing in another priestess (and divine entity) to deal with the errant priestess was to avoid the whole civil war thing.
Ehem, what? In real life it pour oil in fire more than fix the problem. Meta clearly not conspirator and not engage into incitement for civil war.
No, it was so that they could have the power of another god on their side.
It sure sounds like a powder keg waiting to blow!
Gaia be striped off her own magic and died, now Meta lost her own magick. Who next? Eone? “For your own sake” huh Lady Red? Maybe for your career’s sake miss Red? After that I barely believe that Eone forgive Red for now.
It sure sounds like those two have a few things to discuss.
Dang, one panel Meta’s sad but also having to accept it, and then next she looks taken aback that Shaddig is doing her a solid. Still, tho, ouch. Something so jarring and so final even if it’s not was portrayed pretty plainly in the last panel especially. I’m glad you took your time with it and came up with something that looked and felt right.
….all y’all could stand to lose a few, tho. That creek didn’t sound like a good one XD
Maybe we’ll find out what that sound was…
The way she speaks to Kilani, it’s the way you’d speak to a PERSON. 0-0
I don’t get why they feel the need to do this. What kinda threat is she? And I’m surprised they consider Earth dragon magic WORTH sealing.
You miss the page where Kilani save Cinder’s life and page where Kilani somewhat confess her feelings to Cinder? Oh and why they do that? Because queen Oscura and her “very motherly” feelings.
And other dragons see earth dragons as “dirt pushers”, some other dragons see earth element as “low element”. And why I write additional comments? Because they sudenly disappear after edit and even RazorFox not know why.
Maybe it’s to prevent retaliation? Maybe because the Imperial Palace is made mostly out stone, perhaps?

Was removal of Meta’s magic necessary? She’s done literally nothing to warrant this, unless her unspeakable act was preventing the death of a tiger (388). Her supposed crime of “threatening to use the goddess to bring more destruction” was no such thing, Red invented the crime of the earth dragons causing the volcano (373). Meta interprets the goddess’ will and explains what the intentions are and have been, she also followed every command given by Red. However, Red and the fire dragons have done nothing but mock (352) and threaten (353) her for the past 80 pages. Not to mention, Red claimed to take >full responsibility< if anything went 'wrong' in the earth dragon loyalty (339) and we don't see her getting her soul pulled out.
After this, a possible war of two fronts will be waged against the throne. Not just a physical rebellion from the earth dragons and whatever allies they have, but also a war in heaven between Luasa and Isatu. By having a fire priestess sever an earth priestess' link to her goddess by taking her magic, it's a direct insult to the goddess by taking a devotee from her. This may not have been the first devotee Isatu severed either, as prior to her exile, torture, and subsequent death, Gaia's magic was also removed (38, 353, 383). Whether she was also a devotee of Luasa is unknown, but if so, this is now two connections the goddess has now lost.
Ooh, a god fight! A deity duel! A saintly smackdown!
Wow talk about harsh I say the earth dragons need to leave the city and find the male dragons.
We know of at least two. ~__^
i gotta tell you the dragon kingdom reminds me of rome and nazi germany crazy.
Besides love your art . it is good to have you back.
Speaking of the male dragons, I can’t seem to remember if it was ever mentioned, can they use magic like their female counterparts?
Razor can probably answer the question better, but I believe males can be divided like the females can, into separate elements. Ghislain, catagorized into Light, and now Isatu, catagorized into Fire.
Don’t forget Render! He’s canon, too!
Are we blurring canon and making holiday stories true now?
Well, every character who lives on Draconia Lane also exists in the main canon, so why wouldn’t that apply to Render?
So, only part of ‘Draconia Lane’ is true? The characters that exist and are introduced are canon, but their actions and events around them are not?
I like to think of Draconia Lane as an alternate reality.
Fuck it. It’s time for a palace revolution. Let. The blood. Flow.
