4	''[[http://www.heartofkeol.com Heart of Keol]]'' is a webcomic written and drawn by Keiiii. It tells the story of Ethan, a 19-year-old American tossed into a MagicalLand named Keol. It features full color art and uses the [[InfiniteCanvas vertical scroll format]] commonly seen in KoreanWebtoons.

6	The ''[[http://www.heartofkeol.com/eng/001-00/ first page]]'' was published in November 2014, though a former Korean version exists.

8	Heart of Keol is centered on CharacterDevelopment. Though there are a lot of travelling and some fight scenes, the background of each character, their interactions and the way their relationships evolve are far more important to the story.

11	!! ''Heart of Keol'' contains examples of:
12	* DudeLooksLikeALady: Danbi, big time. The fact he walks around in a man's cloths isn't enough to offset his sheer prettiness, as he is often mistaken for a ''cross-dressing girl.''
13	* FantasticRacism: Most humans believe that [[BeastMan Rencho]] are hermaphrodites with an uncontrollable sex drive, and require them to routinely drink a libido-inhibiting tea.
14	* GenderRestrictedAbility: Played with but averted. Suyoris (see below in GreenThumb) are typically female, but the only thing that prevents a man from taking up this art is cultural stigma.
15	* GreenThumb: Suyoris can communicate with plants. This art functions as UtilityMagic in the agriculture-based society of Keol, but can also be used in combat.
16	* MacGuffinTitle: The Heart of Keol may be this. If so, it is a MacGuffinLocation as well.
17	* OneGenderRace: All Elyeo are female. [[spoiler:However, sometimes the otherwise [[HalfHumanHybrid Elyeo child]] of a human and an Elyeo can turn out male...]]
18	* OurDragonsAreDifferent: The dragons start out as small, glowing light beings called wyrms, which then transform into the actual dragons possessing long, multisegmented bodies similar to a centipede. Just many, ''many'' times larger. Oh, and they look like they're made out of human body parts.
19	* TeleportationWithDrawbacks: Teleportation is one of many possible powers a ''dokkabi'' can possess. However, it takes care and practice to do safely and avoid embedding oneself inside an object at the destination, and teleporting more than one's own self requires more power than most ''dokkabi'' have at their disposal.
20	* TitleDrop: As Danbi tells Ethan, the Heart of Keol is the name of an island.
