Welcome to the Arcane Compass --a world of swords and secrets, intrigue and sorcery.

Adventure! Magic! Elder worlds!

Daring rescues and legendary treasures! Mad scientists and forbidden romances!

Bloody battles and fearsome monsters!


All this, and snarky banter, too.

Written, drawn, inked, colored, digitized, edited, and produced by me, John Pruitt.

What’s this all about?

Well, the short answer is that this story revolves around the main protagonists on their journey through a
world of swords & sorcery. The long answer is that it's about a group of adventurers, that become true
friends, and their trek through the magical world of the Arcane Compass. It is about their individual personal
development and exploration of rapidly evolving kingdoms, and their discoveries of long lost secrets,
hidden within the antediluvian ruins that are scattered about. These tales will also feature society's
evolution from a Medieval to Renaissance-like age, all dependant upon uncommon magics,
into a arcanepunk-ish culture where magic blends with the Industrial revolution-like mechanics.
