I’m also a new reader, as you may’ve figured out from the swath of comments. This is definitely a good start to a story, and the art is wonderful. I’m curious to find out about this shadow magic, how Gwimbe has powers his boss apparently knows nothing about, and what Oswald’s position is in regard to gnomes. I also enjoy the fact that Ordith has yet to pronounce Oswald’s name the same twice, though it threw me originally. Sort of an insight into troll culture, or at least Ordith himself.
