Kaspall is a {{fantasy}} [[MysteryFiction murder mystery]] {{webcomic}} written and drawn by Lucy Lyall that started in 2005.
Within this comic, Kaspall is the name of the unusual city in which the story takes place. This city is remarkable for two things:
* First, the [[CoolGate network of gates]] leading into and out of [[RecursiveReality a world formed entirely of places thought about and imagined by the people of this world]], called the Skein.
* Second, the many individuals from other worlds who have accidentally found themselves in Kaspall by mistakenly wandering through a gate of this kind in their own world.
Around the time this story begins, [[TwoLinesNoWaiting several events are occurring in tandem]]: a new off-worlder by the name of Alex Gray is being processed by the O.W.R. ("Off-Worlder Registration"); a student psychomantic (mind-mage) named Caroline is doing a field project at the Skein Institute for Professor Jaiva; the Captain and Lieutenant de Montfort ("Call me Harry. ''Please''.") are investigating a curious series of murders; and, in a small Greenacre Street apartment building, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Sam Goldbourne is behind on his rent]]. Oh, and [[ThirdLineSomeWaiting something odd is happening at a certain mysterious estate]].
These facts are, of course, connected.
We recommend [[http://kaspall.xepher.net/archive/pg1.html starting at the beginning.]]
