Rose's Rescue
An origin comic about the first meeting between Saria, Trace's future wife, and Rose, the cousin of Euchre. After being interrogated by then Grand Templar Mary Silverlock, Rose was kept a prisoner, and would have spent the rest of her life forgotten in a Templar dungeon.
Thankfully, Saria and a couple people inside the Templar arranged for her escape. Saria took Rose in, employing her as a servant (with pay!) until she could arrange travel back to wolf lands. Rose however, extremely grateful towards Saria, eventually decided she had nothing to go back to, and chose to stay.
Saria and Rose remained extremely close. Saria years later would marry Trace, ironically resulting in Rose once again ending up in Grand Templar hands after Trace took power.
This backstory comic was sketches many years ago, and finally brought to life by iliar with the creative use of a Nora Card! Thank you, iliar for helping to get this page made!

But didnt mary tell euchre that she read her mind and let her go? Maybe mary is a liar, im missing something, ah well. Evil rose would be curious.
Wow.
Thank goodness for iliar. I would've never known how Rose and Saria met.
It's nice to know what happened after that whole incident with her and Euchre, though it still took me a while to fully understand this... For some reason, the entire timeline/plot of the comic isn't so fresh in my head.
Woot! Thank you! Love Rose and her character.
really, iliar, thank you for this
Roses are Red, Voltets are blue, your kindy cute so can I date you? :3
I would love to see more backstory content in the sketches. For me at least, it greatly increases the value and appreciation of the sketches compared to their just being random content.
Wow cool! Thanks Illiar for sponsoring this!
Tom, your fans demand side comics based on each sketch you make
There is something about the combination of a deep green and red hair. It just works.
This feels like it would make a great fleshed out story. Im becoming more and more interested in Rose and Saria's past each time i see them.
Ah! Love it!
Where’s the original sketch though? I’ve been through everything on Tom’s Patreon and DA, and haven’t seen anything.
I'm curious as well. How would @iliar have known the existence of this sketch?
Yes!!!! I’ve wanted to see this for so long!!!!!
Hope one of the four NoraCards this month is a Raine picture 😍😍😍😍😍 but tbh I dont think so
I call Rose, Rose is my otp. Even if she doesnt know it yet. :3
Man, this was a great use of a Nora card. It's always cool to learn these little bits of backstory
Nice. This had been one of my first thoughts when the Nora cards started, had I been able to afford them. I'm glad to see this story brought further to life.
Sweet! It's great to finally learn how these two met and became such close friends. Great little comic.
So does that mean that all male Templar have triangles on their faces?
I think that was just a thing for Trace and the NPC resistance characters. I don't recall seeing them on any other Templar throughout the comic.
Yay, they saved rose!
Nice comic.
That's so sweet of her... too bad she ended up marrying a monster...
Btw thanks iliar, your the best :D
Rose is my otp
