Page 1126…
Hey everyone!
So I was able to finish up today’s page before heading to my meetings this morning.
Yay!
Thank you all for your support during this new chapter in our life.
I’ve been doing Dreamland full time for 4 years now. It’s going to be very odd to not have it as the priority in my career.
Again. I WILL finish this story. But it may take a bit longer now.
Have a wonderful day. And thanks for reading.
Scott
Awesomely ominous!
Ah, I have known of some American Indian songs that are mostly vowels and near-vowels.
“With great power comes great responsibility”
“Go speed racer goooo”
My guesses.
oh nooooooo! the wraiths!
oh noooooo! it took me 3 looks before i saw them! (they call me…Captain Oblivious!)
Crappity crap… that’s not good.
Quick, chant faster!
I LOVE those wraiths! So darn creepy! 😀
Take your time with Dreamland, Scott. As much as I love the comic, I’d probably cry when it’s over.
Thanks for the heads-up Maeverin! Totally missed them on my first view.
“Ah, the plot thickens …”
I went back to the previous page, hoping to see one in Camelot. Nope.
If you took a look at page 1119 then you see that the wraiths are already in Camelot…
YEEEEEK! Tension build up… (c-can’t stand th-the suspense…) D8
Wraiths: “Pie iesu domine…dona eis requiem…” *THWACK!*
Oh wow this is an exciting page. Love it!
Thanks, I did catch them on that page. I found that if I brightened and added contrast it was easier to see them. Default on my screens leaves me only seeing the eyes.
Gah…I just don’t think this is a good idea at all!
And I didn’t see the wraiths either! Thanks for pointing them out. 🙂
Mayhaps, Scott shall reveal what the wraiths look like without their cloaks on.
….as well as posting updates once every three days….
Thanks?
I’m pretty sure that the wraiths want the ritual to be successful so they can incite Nic to rebel. They don’t seem the sort to take action openly.
So both amulets form into a bracelet?
You know Scott, you should definitely provide the chant translations in the back of the printed book as an extra.
I’m thinking they’ll want the ritual to succeed so that they can take the amulet for themselves. Don’t ask me why, but I just get the feeling that taking possession of the amulet is as much a part of their plans as turning Nicodemus against Arthur.
I just worked through the character transposition. You are correct.
It’s official kids! Merlin is addicted to the modern classics! 🙂
WHEN WILL I GET MY DE-CODER RING????
excellent!
“adventure’s waiting just aHEEAADD!”
B….. U….. Y….
M…O…R….E…. O…V….A…L….T….I….N…..E….
Makes sense… I guess we’ll see what happens….
Next time, on The Dreamland Chronicles.
Wraiths, no nic. Who really trapped Arthur? And what is being trapped? I imagine some sort of endless, fog filled void. Bet Arthur ended up dying of boredom.
Better yet, he should put a chart of the letters in the back of the book and let people figure it out for themselves. That’s half the fun. ^.^
But you knew they had to be showing up at some point–the only question was when, and since Scott wasn’t going to give us page after page of chanting, it had to be soon…
Bad wraiths! How come wraiths are always the bad guys–to name just a few examples: here, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter?
At least you won’t shoot your eye out…
Ooh…what if Arthur is trapped IN Nicodemus? And the reason Nick is so messed up is that Arthur is beating himself around the inside of Nicodemus’ mind like a bird on meth trapped in a cage?
Yup.
i knew it! i knew something bad would happen during the incantation.
OMG eww that would so messed up. lol
SICKEST. PLOT. TWIST. EVER.
WRRAAAAAAIIIITTTHHHSSSS!!!! RUN! Oh wait, you can’t D:.
I mean, in a good way.
And then gives Alex a reason to go into the nightmare realm after it to bring Dan to dreamland, et cetera and so forth…
If it was good it would be called a spirit.
I think Scott is trying to keep this family friendly. Dreamland chronicles still has its pg rating.
And cue ominous music…..
Even villains wear clothes under cloaks. I know Scott is keeping The Dreamland Chronicles family friendly.
No update for Friday, all!
Spent the day at a video shoot.
I will see you all on Monday for hopefully a full schedule of pages.
Thank you again!
maybe they can ask Tim the enchanter instead for help? beware the white rabbit…..
a video shoot… how exciting!
hey, leaving us on this page is your kinda of deal.. you know, all cliff-hangerish for the weekend!
makes me wonder do the wraiths actually attack the centaur or does nico show up
take your time, scott love lighting in this page and the metal skin his gauntlets look alt better
So the movie is official then?
I was soooo right for the game they will play!
Whack the Shaman!
Nono, Arthur will be trapped in the bracelet. The tablets are old story now, let’s spend 3 chapters chasing the bracelet to free Arthur!
And on popular demand, I give you the translations of the chants:
Page 1125
Orion: “Ok, here we go. It’s gonna be a long and boring night. Don’t you think Merlin?”
Merlin: “Yeh, and who came up with the idea of holding our arms spread? I don’t exercise as often as I used to.
Page 1126
Merlin: “Oh gods, I can feel the cramps already.”
Orion: “Haha, still going strong here Merlin.”
Orion: “Arg, a running nose and I can’t wipe it!”
Merlin:”Hehe, that’s exactly why I keep my staff and long sleeves.”
Orion: “Meh, I’ll let it run. Nobody is watching this anyway.”
well, as this is just a flashback and we already _know_ the amulet thing works… (and furthermore we know it used to be kept by Orion without Nicodemus knowing about it)
btw i believe this centaur is not Orion, but some different guy. after all Arthur lived some thousand or more years ago (i’m not speaking about Merlin — beeing a wizard, we may even meet him in the future).
He did a much more thorough job in making them subtle… based on how easily we saw them just a few pages ago…
You think this is tension? it’s only 20 here… wait until it reaches 100!
That’s what you think!
Naw… MERLIN’s trapped in the bracelet, preserving the knowledge needed!
That’s why somatic components were invented 😛
That would be messed up… Nic prevents the wraiths from attacking, which would provide just too much distraction, and cause what they were after anyway, leaving them a clear out.
I think those would qualify as strip slay material.
If furthering your career with a new film based on one of your properties AND helping to put food on your families table is keeping you from doing pages every day, then I just have this to say: That’s perfectly fine. There’s no need to apologize. What we get is free. We’re not worthy! We’re not worthy! 😉
uh-oh! I don’t like the looks of those glowing yellow eyes!
I think that he is talking about the Ed’s Terrestrials movie. according to a comment from a few days ago.

Funny, but this isn’t Orion who is alive today. It is some Centaur that was alive 600 years ago. Don’t think he has been given a name yet.
The two amulets are making a bracelet that I believe we have not seen yet in the comic. You might be thinking about the Bahta Alikchi which already exists in the flashback and has been used by Merlin.

I’ll try to get more content in that wiki page before noon.
My one question is whether or not the movie will come out before this is finished and whether or not its planned to be part of a series. If its encapsulated in one film, wouldn’t that “spill the beans” about what is going to happen in the daily webcomic?
see ya monday Scott .. have a great weekend
well, there’s X-Wing – Wraith Squadron
The eyes! The eyes in the dark! Arrrgggghh!!
I think they’re either pterodactyl-like, or dragon-people, which may be why their so close to Nick.
One moon circles…
This is so not going to end well…
The wraiths are awesome
His name shall be Steve.
Steve of the Mylilponee tribe.
I will simply say I knew it. That is all.
Besides, I can see a bit of the wraiths’ light colored clothing beneath their cloaks….
Wraiths: “We spy with our little eyes…something that begins with the letter C!
So true…. Silly me.
If only I could edit my comments….
And Starcraft, if you’re playing Terran …
“Wraith awaiting launch orders.”
😉
Well, I have – at long last – finally made my first official contribution to the Dreamland Wiki. It wasn’t much, just a couple of corrections to the above linked Bahta Alikchi page; but every little bit helps, right?
😉
found your site on del.icio.us today and really liked it.. i bookmarked it and will be back to check it out some more later
If you are a real person and not a bot of some sort, then welcome Fellow Dreamer!

Wraiths! Wraiths on wings! (or not…)
