Description And the mages' curse was very powerful. Almost all parts of navich' brain are used only for thinking purposes because of it and because of this, they can't eat, drink, walk and talk by themselves. Cursed navich were used by ancient mages as living calculators, as they will think about one thing until they die or have an answer considering all possible variants, every event that can affect it etc. The mages also put another spell on them that makes them invulnerable to ANY other mind-control, telepathy or illusion spell, because they feared that somebody will steal a navich and know mages' secrets. It also made it more difficult to get an answer fgrom navich as mages just travelled to their minds for answers and then they couldn't, so they needed to despell this thing first, get an answer and cast it again.

After many generations of navich they started to become lower and lower, as well as loosing their great physical power.

In ancient after navich-mages war there were special groups that work with navich, but when the ancient mages disappeared many navich died and only few made it to the moment when some explorers from an order known as Seekers discovered an ancient pyramid with some navich inside. Now they take care of them and try to translate ancient writings, because they think that it will help to learn new things about ancient times as well as despelling the ancient curse of navich. From what Seekers know now - the ancients won the war only because mages of all races united, they knew this from the pillars in one of the ancient buildings that depict heads of different races and there are also a lot of writings on the walls in that hall.

nice, how long do you take to think up these stories?

ThanksΒ 
From one hour to many days
Usually it's about 2 hours per scene, but sometimes it takes longer or thoughts run so fast and in the correct direction that it's possible to think up stories only one hour or even half of it(VERY rarely). Also, I usually think about them while I draw scenes, but most often I already have some lore about the species so it also gives a little bonus. So it's hard to tell, because it depends on a lot of things.

do you connect your stories to some adventure?

To be honest, I want to make a whole universe. And although there are some important persons, I doubt that there will be legendary heroes that save the world on everyday basis like in many fantasy games, but there can be situations when one person changes everything like if they invented a new fuel type, printing press, computer or electricity(yes, although there is magic, I don't think that it will make progress impossible, but it will make new technologies possible).

I think, I may make an adventure of a mercenary group in comic aswell, so that there also will be "inside view" on this world. And as the world goes to another era(like from pre-industrial to industrial era(industrial revolution in real world)), time and characters will be different too(i.e. I don't want to make an epic quest of saving the world 42 times per day out of it, where somebody was just a farmer and the other day he is a king of three galaxies).

Why there in need to save the world? These stories are boring, the cinemas are full of them right now. Much more interesting to have an intricate universe with a few set rules and characters to move in it

Yes, that's what I'm talking about. I don't want to add characters that can do anything just like in modern cinemas, but instead I want to add some common characters(not without their special features, ofc, but not something extraordinary even by the standarts of this universe), so that everything could be seen from inside of this universe and develop this universe from this state and to space era(I wonder if I will ever complete this task, lol)
