Mages of Mystralia is written by Eisner-nominee Brian Clevinger (Atomic Robo, 8-Bit Theater) and drawn by artist Carey Pietsch (Lumberjanes, Adventure Time). The comic is based on a story by Forgotten Realms creator Ed Greenwood. The 80-page, full-color trade paperback will be in stores on October 11 at an MSRP of $10.99.

A prequel to the upcoming Borealys Games release, the story follows an inexperience young mage who ascends to the throne after a deadly plague kills the monarchs of Mystralia. The mage becomes a bloodthirsty tyrant, and four battle captains stand in opposition.
