A long time ago the five lands of Quin were besieged by an onslaught of Orcs, who were brought together and led by Mordath. Eventually a saviour came, Ayden led the remnants of the land to victory and all was well. Over three centuries later, Mordath has returned. Not of flesh, but with immense power as he bears a Sigil. It is said that if the five fragments of Aydens arrow are united he will return to once again save Quin. So this is the quest Arwyn has set out upon. Can she succeed.

This issue we get back to quest for the fragments from the point of view of the good gals & guy (don't forget the dog). Arywn has 3 pieces so she's virtually at her goal…..isn't she!?! We have another appearance from Pallias & Dodona as well. This isn't a mind blowing issue, but it's solid. I get the impression that the foundation is getting built for something special and after how this ended, who knows what will happen next!?!

Greg Land art is GREAT, but this issue I have to admit it wasn't all gravy. The landscapes and backgrounds are lush, but sometimes things seem to slip down a gear. Facial expressions don't always seem to fit (Pallias is a good example) and we're just left with a realistic looking plank of wood. We then get hit with some great art like the double spread at the end. Even though it's not as sharp as usual, still nice art.
