Set ten old age after the orphic struggle , known as the battle at the Black Stair , The Last God : Songs of Lost Childrenfeatures the Queen in her younger day donning a disguise and venturing outside the capitol of Tyrgolad into her realm to investigate theme of evaporate children and a terrific monster out of folklore wreaking mayhem upon the town . Written by Dan Watters ( Lucifer ) with artistic production by Steven Beach ( The Last God : Tales From The Book of Ages),Songs of Lost Childrenpromises to research the slightly puzzling character of Cyanthe and provide a connectedness between the guiltless girl of her pre - battle time to the merciless warrior she becomes in later years .
The human beings ofThe Last Godis a portmanteau of videogame - esque drama and classical high phantasy , with maybe a small Edgar Rice Burroughs thrown in for good measurement . Clearly taking its esthetic cue from attain videogame series likeDark Souls , the series is known for itsintense action and grim violence , as is allowed under the Black Label . Cyanthe , one of the few surviving characters of the earlier prison term , is a persona of many different facet : a skilled sorceress , a merciless swayer , a powerful warrior and a peasant girl who somehow defeated a god and became king of the entire realm . Much attention is paid to the differences between the younger , kind and more naïve girl of the past to the determined , atomic number 26 - willed and skeptical woman of the present timeframe . No doubt this will serve as a dramatic knife thrust of the story .
