Talk:Onyx the Invincible

That's such a great portrait of him! ~ Lhynard (talk) 16:23, September 6, 2015 (UTC)


 * From the first four issues, I struggled to find one that gave a good look at Onyx: he was either at a distance, obscured, in shadow, or missing his face or body. Eventually I went for just his face and decided to try for a full portrait later. The close-up is nice. — BadCatMan (talk) 09:40, September 9, 2015 (UTC)

Onyx & Minder
Lhynard said: "So he loved two women? Does anyone know the Realm's date for Dragon 247 or if this ever was detailed in the FR comic book series?"

Onyx and Minder first met in the Forgotten Realms (comics series) 1990 Annual. It's an almighty crossover issue with Advanced Dungeons & Dragons (comic series), so it will be very late in my comics project. Anyway, it's set shortly before the ToT of 1358 DR, and explicitly has them fall in love at first sight and realise they're potential soulmates (dwarves can do that, it seems).

Since Dragon #247 puts Onyx in Tethyr, it must be post-1368. Dragon #246 also puts put Onyx and co. after 1368 DR, so I'd assume it's just after the end of the Reclamation Wars in that year. Since that's a tad earlier than Lands of Intrigue (boxed set), I've shifted the Minder relationship to before the one with Kiira. However, it's entirely in keeping with Onyx that he'd court two women at the same time, and this puts a different spin on his move to Riatavin. :) — BadCatMan (talk) 12:31, December 26, 2016 (UTC)


 * I was thinking the same thing about #247 having to be after 1368, but I was thinking later than 1370 also. Dragon #247 was published in May of '98, but Lands of Intrigue came out in September '97, so I presumed that #247 came after 1370.


 * Regardless, since the 1990 Annual details their meeting in 1358, it does seem like he was courting two women!

 * I had suspected the Dragon Rogues' Gallery articles were simply belatedly covering events from 1357/1358, but the update to Tethyr stretches the Minder relationship out much longer than the one night in 1358 he gave her a good buff and polish (by which I mean he gave her a good buff and polish) in the crossover. Since she's an iron golem, that relationship may have hit the rocks. :) — BadCatMan (talk) 12:31, December 27, 2016 (UTC)
