Incubus Tales

For other uses of the word Incubus, see Incubus (disambiguation).

The Incubus Dhiar from the online comic series Incubus Tales created by Hushicho.

Incubus Tales is an online comic book series created by the artist known as Hushicho. The first appearance of this series was on August 11th, 2008 in which the main character of the story, an Incubus named Dhiar introduced himself. The series updates fairly regularly on a three to four day cycle.

It follows the lives of the Incubus Dhiar and his friends and family. He owns a magic shop called Phantasies where most of the series occurs.

The series deals in sexual themes, and there is a good smattering of humor in it, but there is little angst or strife within the stories. It's mainly about the character development of Dhair and the other characters and their relationships sexual and otherwise.

Interestingly, much like the Realm of the Succubi that Tera has created on her site, the Incubi and Succubi in this comic do not kill those they are intimate with. They have come to understand that they live off of pleasure, so it would be unwise to harm their sources of pleasure. Even though there are less scrupulous brethren of Dhiar and Chana, the wise and older Incubi and Succubi know that however they feel about others, it is better to cultivate pleasure than it is to spread harm.

The series does have scenes and discussions of male/male sexual situations and should be noted as being adult in nature.

Locations

The information in this section comes from the official Wikia of this series in the External Links below:

Phantasies

Phantasies is a shop owned by Dhiar, which caters to all sorts of pleasures. Within this shop is contained a truly broad range of things, said by Dhiar to help others in making their fantasies come true.

For further information see the official Wikia article here.

Camelot

Camelot refers to a kingdom, which in most realities is or was once under the rule of King Arthur. Commonalities between the realities seem to be the existence of knights held to a code of chivalry, overt existence of magic, and court intrigue.

For further information see the official Wikia article here.

Noctemburg

octemburg is a mostly-subterranean city that stretches for considerable distance. It encompasses several distinct areas, some of which are almost completely isolated from the others. Its location and nature makes it an ideal home for certain types of beings thought of as supernatural in nature, especially certain Vampires who may be affected by sunlight. Because of this, the Vampire population is extremely high in some parts of the city.

Adventures

Introductions

The Phantasies family each introduces himself or herself, for the purpose of a television advertisement. It was apparently Chana's idea.

An Incubus in King Arthur's Court

The sorceress Morgaine summons Dhiar to Camelot, to request his assistance for her son Mordred. Excited at the prospect of meeting the handsome Mordred, Dhiar goes to help him and finds out that his problem is with a certain knight of the Round Table, the insufferably pure Galahad. After Dhiar reasons out the situation with the clueless Galahad, he leaves it to its natural resolution.

Jenny Everywhere

Dimension-shifter Jenny Everywhere has a cup of cardamom rose tea with Dhiar...with a hint of vanilla.

1001 Hot Arabian Nights

Joshua brings back a lamp that he found in the market where Phantasies has appeared. Dhiar rubs it, producing Lanimaz, who tells them of the problem there: an evil sorceror named Rehzier has taken over the land, and his brother Opaliz is missing, having fled when Lanimaz did.

Better Get Some Now

Mischievous duo Byron and Shelley summon Dhiar using a scroll of some sort and ask his help in acquiring the Pettoishi of a boy named Sam. Sam and his Pettoishi, Picow, are found questing for a temple with an object that will enable Picow to turn into a human. Dhiar helps him, but Byron and Shelley interfere and, although Picow becomes human, so do two Pettoishi given by Dhiar to Byron and Shelley. Chaos ensues, and Dhiar is able to turn them back into Pettoishi while Picow remains human.

Hey Nonny-Ah!

In a far-away kingdom, Prince Amaranth's castle is under attack! Scrambling to the sacred chamber, he uses the Horn of Calling, which only seems to produce thick smoke. Salious and Kozul burst in soon after, threatening Amaranth, but Dhiar swings out of the fog, to the rescue.

I Still Love You Boy

One night, whilst stocking and tidying Phantasies, Dhiar greets a guest who turns out to be Dee, an old lover who has finally found him again. The two catch up, reminiscing about their time in Noctemburg, long ago. Dee leaves and promises to return, and Dhiar is lost in thought about the sorrow of something that can never really be fully regained once lost.
