Frequently Asked Questions

Arborforge Studios is an independently owned publishing studio focused on original fantasy worlds and comics.

Our flagship series is Vita Arbor: The Chainbreaker Chronicles.

Vita Arbor: The Chainbreaker Chronicles is a long-form fantasy comic set within the world of Vita Arbor.

The story explores the Great War, the people and nations caught within it, the secrets held by the Gods, and something known as The Balance.

Issue #0 is designed as an introduction to Vita Arbor and the events that lead into the main series.

You do not need to read the World Archive before starting the comic. The Archive is there for readers who want to explore the history, people, nations and Realms in more detail.
