RS195

In addition to facilitating postal access, the Western Allied Postal Guild also maintains information infrastructure for Erj’s Western Waste by way of large bulletin walls, or colloquially ‘Guild walls’, built into Guild mail terminals. Erjan citizens of every stripe, from children to government officials, utilize these Guild walls daily for important announcements, bounties, correspondence, commerce, or just to post their idle thoughts.

This inter-citizen network is a vital communication tool, allowing anyone to amplify their message to potentially thousands of others—and all the good and bad that comes with that.

Rising Sand is 9!

Time flies when you’re having Sand.

Rising Sand is nine (9) years old today, and while it’s perhaps possible we could have made the journey without you, we’re grateful that we never had to find out. Whether you’ve been with us since RS001, or only discovered us last week, thank you so much for reading! Here’s to nine more years of Sand—which is almost certain to happen, given the glacial clip at which we tend to update.

Anyway, if you’d like to kiss the ring, feel free to say hi on Bluesky or Discord—or better yet, if you’re so equipped, you could give us the greatest gift of all: additional insurance against starvation via our Patreon! Thank you all again, and enjoy the free comics!
