Almanac – Clans of the Liranequois
September 10th, 2015This week’s Almanac is the Clans of the Liranequois. The clans are the family lineages of the Liranequois, each one dating back to a famous female ancestor. Maybe someday I’ll include stories about each of these legendary women, but it’s beyond the scope of the comic at the moment. The women hold the power in the clan, with each clan ruled by a matron. This has caused the Japethan colonists to consider the Liranequois a matriarchy. Which is partially true. We’ll discuss the sachems next week.
I’ve been working with a couple Native American artists for future vignettes and other projects. I would like to include more. If you’re a First Nation artist and interested in doing some freelance work for Snow by Night, please drop me an email at eric (at) snowbynight.com.

September 8th, 2015We’re back to Blaise on Chapter 11 Page 19 in Tionnontego. Snow-by-Night is active for the first time in a while. Blaise has no idea what is happening, but he’s taking the brunt of it. That seems to be his lot in life. To see a fantastic manifestation of Snow-by-Night, please vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comics.
Almanac – Nations of the Liranequois
September 3rd, 2015In this week’s Almanac, I discuss the Nations of the Liranequois. Together, these five nations form the Great Longhouse. I’m continuing to draw inspiration from the Haudenosaunee and I am fascinated with the concept of basing the government off the structure of the longhouse. It emphasizes the confederation as a family structure. This is a drastic shift from government as divine right or the three estates that were prevalent in Europe at this time.
Oh, Monday is Labor Day and a holiday. I’ll be out with family. No update on Monday. We’ll be back on Wednesday.

September 1st, 2015Mathilde visits Jacqueline on the upper gallery on Chapter 11 Page 18. The two seem to be forming a tentative alliance. Hopefully, their relationship will be healthier than Jassart and Vivienne’s.
We’re back to Blaise on Monday. To see what is the focus of his scene, please vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comics.
