The Dreamland Chronicles…
The Dreamland Chronicles is an All Ages webcomic series started in 2006 and finished (at 2151 pages and 8 graphic novels) in 2017!
With Elves, Dwarves, Fairies, Giants, Dragons, and so much more…the Dreamland Chronicles’ creator Scott Christian Sava has created a world that encompasses some of his favorite childhood memories from movies like “The Princess Bride”, “The Neverending Story”, and “Clash of the Titans” as well as Books such as “The Hobbit”, “The Narnia Chronicles”, and “The Princess of Mars”.
With new art from Tracy Bailey, we’ve switched from the ground-breaking “3D Animated” look to a more traditional “2D Cartoon” style to finish the series.
The webcomic updated 5 days a week for over 11 years… garnering over 34 MILLION readers from all over the globe and translated into 8 languages.
“The Princess Bride” – not brides 😉
Lol!
oops.
I must have been thinking of the harem version of the movie.
🙂
The Tenchi Muyo anime movie version!
Whoops, fix that: its, not it’s. And, well, that 4th paragraph is a sentence fragment. It really wants to be part of the last sentence on the 3rd paragraph.
Better?
Don’t you love your helpful readers Scott 🙂
I really do. I’m HORRIBLE with grammar.
And geography. And math. And…yikes.
I don’t know what I’d do without you all!
Perhaps it’s just me but the raindrop on her face in the last panel looks an awful lot like the stereotypical teardrop (you know, the one in movies where they spend extra attention to lighting so it’s track down the cheek is backlit, making it more obvious). Given the empowered speech she’s saying, it’s likely that people won’t make that assumption of it, but it did puzzle me a bit.
You’re still awesome at storywriting 😉
Straberries?
Thank you, Scott. It’s been a great ride so far. Thank you for sharing your talents with the rest of us. You have a real talent for storytelling.
Never noticed the grammar. I’m just floored that there’s a finite story arc and looking forward to a happy conclusion for Alex and the rest of the good guys. Congratulations on your 5 year anniversary, Scott. And thanks for this fine comic.
hello Scott! I thought this comic would slow down by now, but it still going strong. Keep up the great work you all. Its just keep getting better! Also scott I emailed you a question. Please check soon. Curtell
Have you been hacked? There is a huge list of credit card things in the post!
No. But thank you for pointing it out.
I was reading somewhere that Adwords would increase our Cost Per Click.
So I found some popular ones and put it here.
But honestly (and it’s only been 10 hours) I haven’t seen any improvement.
🙂
The joys of running your own website…sigh.
Uh oh! Now hes insulted his brother. Theres gonna be a fight now! Hes a protective brother.
Alright, thanks for letting us know. I was very confused about it as well. I thought it was a weird version of a similarities game… although I couldn’t figure it out…lol Very good job on these comics, BTW, they’re getting better every time.
Google do try to stop people gaming the system that way 😉
And most of those words aren’t really relevant for your site!
Yes, I agree — I don’t think it works all that well, and it does make it look like you’ve been hacked.
THanks guys.
Today (the day after I put those words up) the CPC doubled.
Coincidence?
Maybe.
Let’s give it another day…
I was wondering about those.
Do they still work if you hide them in the page source, or do they have to be visible somewhere. Kinda like meta tags or something?
I honestly don’t know.
I’m trying to figure this whole thing out…ha ha.
It’s a mystery to me.
Super cool!Dwarfs as the first airborne troops in Dreamland;)Rock Tour Medal.
You keep using that word. I do not think it means, what you think it means. …
-The Spaniard “I do not think that word means what you think it means.”
1) Okay, you beat me to it.
2) *Inigo Montoya*, not “The Spaniard”, even if his name isn’t known until a bit later.
“You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.”
STOP Monologing!!!!

Hey Scott! I have been reading your comic for about 3 years now, and never felt the need to comment (im more of a lurker) Anyway, id just like to say that your comic is really cool, and you should definetely keep going. Kudos!
Until and unless she’s officially crowned Queen, Nastajia IS the Princess. As the person on the throne right now she is the ‘Acting Queen’, if you like, so might get called it. But formally and properly – no coronation means she’s the Princess.
To me, the princess is a belittling term, AND a term for those who would remember her as such. Nicodemus knew her young, as did Bognok, so it stands to reason in their minds it would remain as such. As for other times it matters not who calls her what, as long as the characters keep with the same title. So Alex would either always call her princess, or always call her queen for example.
I myself am a writer (self proclaimed of course since I’ve no published works but I have my own stories to be writing). This webcomic, out of all the ones I read, is one of my favorites. I love elves and dwarves. J.R.R. Tolkien is one of my highest revered writers ever and along with that elves and dwarves I always enjoying reading about.
Vile Creachers, Leeches, Scum!… This Dragon must be a Conservative.
You can put them in the meta tags.
Depending on what you use to make the site. It could be easy, or not.
If I were Alex, I’d want all the help I can get. There’s no such thing as an unfair fight when the odds are against the bad guy
Hey alex! what did the five fingers say to the face?
no april fools prank?
I see the horn getting knocked or cut off…but where did his sword disappear to?
Again, cheater.
Oh my gosh! Where is everyone like paddington or the dwarf king :O !!!!! AHH!!! Oh great comic by the way 🙂
Stop, pause whatever…Nic is a DRAGON….with WINGS!!! Can’t he just fly to safety??????
Weren’t you paying attention? He has a broken wing, slashed, beaten about the face quite heavily and he’s been stabbed heavily through the chest…he’s not exactly in tip-top condition to fly…
I didn’t see his wing get slashed, I know his chest, face and horn got slashed then he got stabbed through the chest, but still…can’t you do anything in dreams x) lol 🙂
“thank you for reading this week”…?…reading what??…there hasn’t been any dialogue in a month!!
Great Friday cliffhanger. Thanks for a good yarn.
To quote Mark Twain: “The rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated”. I suspect that it applies for Nicodemius too. Even after being beaten up, slashed and stabbed through the chest. This was just a minor setback for him. 😉
Out of curiosity, why does it always seem that when his eyes are in shadow they sort of glow? o.O
DING DONG choir sings aaahhaahhhooohahh, AAAHHH (closing credits)
Felicity needs someone to love like a catboy
Scott I have a question for you. If a Human has a kid with a person from dreamland, can the child go to the human world or not? I have been dreaming about dreamland lately and have been wondering how it would work. Please help!
Are you self-hosted?
I’ve honestly not really worked out the physics of interdimensional children.
Definitely something I may have to consider one day…if things keep going well for Nastajia and Alex.
🙂
heh they should have asked sword if this gonna work!
i love the fact that even when i’m late in checking up on TDC, reading it backwards still makes sense! x)
I’m not seeing any flowers? Felicity and Kiwi’s conversation is a bit confusing with no flowers!
Hey, Scott, have you considered releasing your volumes as Kindle e-books?
I sense an “I TOLD you so!” moment coming up from Dan.
That’s excelent. The details are just incredible.
I envy you right about now. I never get anyone to send me anything other than seering lulz, even when I offer commissions to get money to go to conventions, or self-publish anything outside of LuLu.com . Sure, you might say I deserve it (Google ‘David Gonterman’ and find out) but come on, you’d think that all this ‘fame’ I got would get me above the need for SSI and Illinois Link Cards to live. (Protip: Please buy a book instead of telling me to get a job. I turn a deaf ear to that.)
Yay! The first update I had to wait for! Stumbled upon DC yesterday, and read THE WHOLE THING! Had the day off, so I just did that all day. Anyway, now that I’m caught up… I…LOVE this comic. And I look forward to more.
I never notice before, but wow she has a big head compared to his.
‘Nastajia shows that the mer-kiss is non-sexual. And I can continue on with the pages as intended.’
Ahem, I do have issue with this. It has become standard in the story telling industry to have the misunderstanding you show here. Yet each and every one of you show/write what is to look like a romantic kiss. Look at your work. I bet if you took pictures of your family kissing each other not one of them would show non-romantic partners gently cupping the back of someone’s head, hand partially lost in the others hair, both heads tilted to the side just so, both eyes closed, lips pressed gently together but not puckered, bodies close maybe even brushing. This is clearly an embrace with a sexual overtone. Don’t tell me my mind is in the gutter just because I see something for what it is.
I do non-sexual kisses too. MUwaaa! is usually the sound that is made. The lips are puckered, the eyes are open, both bodies are in no danger of brushing against each other, usually bodies are slightly bent at the waist, and even if it’s a hug and kiss it happens in way too short a time for anyone to get the idea that its romantic…let alone step in and stop it.
So ‘See it wasn’t sexual guys!’ has become, in my mind, a lame thing for storytellers to say, when they’ve obviously set it up to appear that way. If it was never meant to be a sexual thing then there wouldn’t of been time for the misunderstanding….heck someone even could have taken the time to explain before hand that it was needed to get the magic tail.
Truly the most dangerous quest yet!
I think they should go to kiss and the Female Mermaid should punch Alex! XD
I would so pay to see that movie!
And drawing, computer rendering . . .
umm…. the latin doesn’t make sense to me, but it has been awhile. Did you just google-translate word for word? Lux=light(in subject form, so it is doing whatever is being done in the sentence). Lucis=light(genetive form, like “light’s” or “of light”). Light of lights? Discendo = I am leaving (as in, I am leaving the room…but how could you be? The light (lux) is the subject.). Partum=??? Could be an adjective, or something else. I’m lost.
Thank you for posting this information. I am glad that you and other comic artists are on the ball. I did not know about this until late last night when I saw a from a posting from George Takei. I know personally what it’s like to have stuff censored since a publisher informed me that my stories were too German to be published. What the hell does that mean?!? So if a publisher can make a racist decision like that, then imagine what a bunch of power hunger nut jobs will do. Thank you for standing up for our rights and informing us.
I’m just floored that there’s a finite story arc and looking forward to a happy conclusion for Alex and the rest of the good guys. Congratulations on your 5 year anniversary,
Thank you, Scott. It’s been a great ride so far. Thank you for sharing your talents with the rest of us. You have a real talent for storytelling.
So… does this mean that Merlin invented the spell that allows the occasional character to break the 4th wall? 😀
is it just me or does he look like that old guy who was with king aurther?
i really like that never ending story movie kinda sad too
Well, he asked. 😀
here’s an idea, why not run a donation pool. When enough money is reached you’ll do young Merlin topless, isn’t that a decent incentive? Just a thought.
Hey, Scott. How come I can’t buy books 4 & 5 through Amazon or Ingram for the Library I work at? If you have answered this before, my apologies for asking again.
Thank you, Scott. It’s been a great ride so far. benzodiazepine withdrawal Thank you for sharing your talents with the rest of us. You have a real talent for storytelling.
Hey! Isn’t Mer-Nastajia waiting just beneath the surface of that pool? Does this mean Nastajia is about to interact with wide-awake Alex and crew in out world? I can’t wait for tomorrow!
You keep using that word. I do not think it means, what you think it means.
Mama always said, Never say never. 🙂
Hi, i’ve just sat for the better part of 6 hours reading through the whole archive on this wonderful site, I am truly loving the story and look forward to reading it from now on!
Why do I have suspicions about the motives of the one who put her “love” inside a tree??
Mermaids are not to be trusted.
I’m just floored that there’s a finite story arc and looking forward to a happy conclusion for Alex and the rest of the good guys. Congratulations on your 5 year anniversary,
All right to all those that criticized me the other day on the the stupid mermaid lady with grand master plans that we don’t know about and who also is hell bent on destroying the long term relationship so that Dan can come to Dreamland and Merlin? can something whatever.
Alex Group first enters the water November 15th 2011
http://thedreamlandchronicles.com/the-dreamland-chronicles/chapter-17/page-1390/
They first meet annoying mermaid December 22nd 2011
http://thedreamlandchronicles.com/the-dreamland-chronicles/chapter-17/page-1416/
And now, finally, after almost a year and exactly 100 pages after entering the water, we are on our way to find Nastajia’s parents. I just want to remind everyone that the entire point of this arc was to find them. The author said this chapter will be 180 pages long, and after 158 pages, we are JUST NOW LEAVING TO FIND THEM. 158 pages of 180 pages = 22 pages left.
This is by far, the weakest chapter and is in serious need of editing.
Thank you for coming by!
Hope you continue to enjoy the story!
🙂
Thanks.
I could ALWAYS use an editor…ha ha.
Right now…you all are my editors.
So thanks for the input.
Did you not enjoy the Merlin/Niviene story, though?
I thought it was well received. Lots of people really seemed to like it.
I’m glad you see the need for editing, as this entire arc is in need of serious pruning. I loath this entire Niviene arc because she has no purpose in this story other than to point to way to the city the parents were last seen. You’ve never mentioned Merlin’s grand master plan for world domination before, and frankly I don’t see the point. You yourself have mentioned that this story is nearing its conclusion, and you should be resolving the remaining plot threads (parents, nightmare land deals, final death or defeat of the dragon, and marriage of the two sets of lovers). You don’t need to and shouldn’t be introducing new material, that you haven’t mentioned before. I don’t care about Merlin, or Arthur, or annoying mermaid chick. We should have been looking for the parents, and instead we have 100 pages of Merlin’s World Domination for Dummies.
Hi Scott!!
Longtime reader – LOOOOVE your work!
Have you tried tigerdirect.com? We have gotten quite a few computer things from them… maybe you could find what you’re looking for there.
Good luck!!
Tracy Smith
Thank you, Tracy!
I’ll check them out.
Tiger Direct was our long-time supplier until we closed down the computer lab. They were always very responsive and easy to do business with. Scott, they are worth a look. 🙂
Also, hope your meeting yesterday went well. Keeping fingers and toes crossed, and saying prayers. Something’s gotta stick, right? 🙂
Heh, you can tell this post was written a little while ago. By now, it’s over 1500 pages, and soon it’ll be the 18th chapter.
I’m just floored that there’s a finite story arc and looking forward to a happy conclusion for Alex and the rest of the good guys. Congratulations on your 5 year anniversary,
New reader here! I was so pulled into the story I read all 1500+ pages in three days! I came in late, but I can’t wait to see the remaining six chapters…
Welcome, new Dreamer; don’t forget to vote!
uhm…learn to stick to the limitations you set for yourself and your work?
or else you end up like friggin voyager…nobody wants that, the medicine bag shoulda been left where it was… but maybe the egyptians found a technogical solution rather than a magical one?
I don’t come to the site for a couple of weeks, and this is what I come back to.
Ah, school. Once I’m done with you, I’ll be able to afford the books. Until then, I’ll be running into random updates.
I love the art here. Great job. Thanks for the Beautiful work!
I’m not sure if anyone else is having this problem, but right now this seems to be the only page of the entire comic that I can access. And I just noticed all of the “new look” site changes seem to be gone.
If I try to click on the RSS feed link to the newest page (or at least the last one to show up in my RSS reader, which was Monday’s page), I get the following message:
Page Not Found
Click here to return to the home page or try a search:
At least it’s on the old background now; earlier in the week it was plain black lettering on a plain white background.
Everything okay? Anything we can do to help?
😯
I’m having the same problem.
It’s good to see the site back up. =)
MR. BATES! AHHH!!
Also, awesome page as always. ^-^
But World Domination for Dummies is exactly what the world needs!
I Agree, Niviene, while slightly interesting to a couple pages, Was a completely new arc that we are totally not interested in. besides, any mermaid is interesting to some people… we would have rather had more of the current characters, whether now or when they were young… we really don’t care for the full backstory to a mermaid that we don’t care about for more than a couple pages, that has not been around and does not know what’s going on, spouting on and on about some crap that does not matter.
Hey where’s the update? It’s been AGES!!!! I’m dying to see what happens next!
To be honest I was shocked to see Nic… I thought he was DEAD!!!
This has been one Hellofa Cliffhanger. I think I’ll just go to Disney World…
Good shot Nastaji! LOL!!!
I actually like to see our heroine swearing – I’m just not sure you really know what it means, Scott. I’m British by the way and def know what it means!
Can somoene explain to me one thing? Why does Nic care about the “human world” being occupied. I mean he hates humans he made no point in hiding that fact.
108th comment! Lol, shame you cant keep updating Scott, but it’s for the greater good 😉
Thank you for sharing your talents with the rest of us. You have a real talent for storytelling.
No more s***. All posts of this qultiay from now on
Super execitd to see more of this kind of stuff online.
Wonderful story, reckoned we could combine some unrelated data, nevertheless genuinely worth taking a appear, whoa did 1 master about Mid East has got a lot more problerms at the same time
We’ve arrived at the end of the line and I have what I need!
Rose – Thanks for the kind words at JBI.Good letter, only one typo in it. Sorry to call you on it, but i’m sure you posted this here before you mailed it.You wrote “Open Mike night,” It should actually be: “Open Mic.”I should know, I’ve played enough of them. Cheers
Ab Soul’s album Longterm Mentality is one of the top albums of the yea;…rTrack for Track it can go up against any album that came out this year. But, Jay Rock album is tight as well.
The credit union (Navy Federal Credit Union) that I have been a member of since 1977 also offers no-fee coin counting machine service at many of their larger branch locations around the world. This service is so much more convenient than manually counting and wrapping coins, especially lower value coins like pennies, nickels and dimes. I wonder what impact this will have on the production of coins by the US Mint, now that more loose change is back in citiclaruon, rather than in tens of millions of individual home and workplace stashes around the country?

Anonymous – Peter Seeger changed the words "No Trespassing" to "Private Property" in all his performances of the song. I was thinking of Seeger's altered version when I first began the post. However, I decided to pay due honor to the copyrighted lyrics of the master.
That’s not just logic. That’s really sensible.
so does tracy makes the pages? or does scott?
i recall b4 that you sed it took a lot of work making them cuz you had to do this and that etc so i assumed you made the pages…
now you say tracy does em? do you like take turns?
Since battle time is over, can we please dress Natasha. None of the other characters are scantily clad. She is home, she is safe, fighting is over. Time to be an Elvish Princess. ( In clothes, not a plate mail bikini)
Will the final chapter be archived?
Will the graphic novels be made available again?
Thanks for pointing that out. Fixed.
There’s still some left.

Yes. I hope you like the dress.
The first 1800 pages were done 3D and I did most of the work (with designs, models, and rigging being done by a team of freelancers). The last two chapters were done by Tracy.
When will the new comic start and how often will it be updated?
It’s being updated twice a week!

What happened to the old comic? I never got to read the end of it, and now it seems to be gone… with this non-CG reboot happening in its place.
I’ve been a fan of this webcomic series since its first released back in 2006, thanks for this!
Wow, you are now making some animation for this web comic!
Great comic indeed! I cannot wait for more episodes to be release soon
Thank you very much, Scott. So far, it’s been a fantastic journey. Thank you for allowing us to benefit from your abilities. You have a natural gift for narrating stories.
So far, it’s been a fantastic adventure. Thank you for allowing us to benefit from your expertise. You’re born with the talent to tell stories. Thank you so much, Scott.
