From what I remember it did turn out the book was written yesterday; it was the early draft of the book Arudak was writing that the Ink Witch stole. But it was 200 years from when Dominic disappeared as an old man so it's a few more decades on from the end of Deegan Classic. Where my memory gets fuzzy is what changes to magic were due to what Dominic did at the end of the original comic and whatever bullshit he and his students did later.

He walked off and finished writing and publishing it off-screen after Team Snout woke up. Snout got a copy of the final book in the epilogue.

No, Jacob obviously published it on the 200th anniversary of Dominic going to Asininetown.

Finally a name. I guess we're going to keep revealing the new magic in Legacy when it's always "lol no-one knows anything".

Jacob is referring to himself by name to someone who already knows him. Despite his numerous distinctive physical characteristics including skeleton arm wreathed in blight, sweet mullet, and flayed off lower half of his face, Mookie has made the confusing decision to obscure all of these. Thus there is no way we could actually recognize this to be Jacob without being told. Rather than realize there's a problem, this is Mookie's solution. I wonder if all the alterations have been undone because Dominic made magic "gentler" to nerf necromancy after all.

Jacob's new look is the best part of Legacy because my brain immediately starts playing the Mortal Kombat theme.

I lost track of the comic. I assume that dwarven society collapsed after the law was passed and black hair lady is the only survivor?

No, there was some chaos, then 3 Resistance Leaders in their concealing outfits met and talked about it and TO BE CONTINUED and this is an unrelated story. EDIT: The chaos wasn't caused by the law either, it was caused by Main Character Dwarf Lady casting illusions to make a total of Four People get mad at each other.

Worse! Rebel used her magic knife to prank people into seeing their popular friends as uggos, which caused a civil war. She can do this because Dominic told her that magic now wants to be used for good. Feminist Ally dwarf is currently crying at his mirror image telling him he's not a good enough ally. Then the dwarf rebellion leaders debated if Rebel was a Deegan as Mookie hit the page count limit and a giant "to be continued" sign floated from the sky. New lady who finally got a name now had a chat with a ghost who was sad because nobody went on walkies with him, so she went on a walk with him. Also it has been 200 years since people last played Slaughterball.

Mookie I don't know if anyone's told you this before but it's okay to have a story where the main character isn't directly connected to a Deegan. We'll still understand that it's the Legacy of Dominic Deegan because of the name and because it's set in the same world. They don't all have to be Deegan-adjacent.

Ah, of course, he's the spiritual successor!"

Unless this is Jacob, son of Jacob or something, then Mookie subscribes to the Mookie school of sequels, where it's just literally the same dude ~*200 years later*~. Same in Snoutquest. It wasn't the descendants or inheritors or whatever of Dominic. The legacy of Dominic Deegan was literally identically Dominic Deegan.

That's two comics where the twist has been that a character was a Deegan. And both times we assumed that was the case from the start anyway.

I'll choose to think that the ancestral Deegan was like Ghengis Khan. And that there's a cooler story we don't have access to.

It's literally Jacob Deegan. He's the greatest "living" necromancer and can not die unless someone directly kills him or he turns off his own zombie juice. Same way Rillian was alive for like a million years before he was permanently killed. The only one of these stories that wasn't directly linked to Dominic was Makena's Racist Jazz Time.

We already know Jacob Yes That One From The Original Comic is still... I'm not sure "alive" is the right word, but around and kicking, form Snout's bullshit, why would people be theorizing that this is a descendant or inheritor?

Imagine someone who has never read Dominic Deegan picking this up at a con and seeing the Jacob reveal. Why would it be shocking in any way? They don't know who that is. Hell, imagine someone who read Snout's story already and knows what Jacob looks like seeing this "reveal". Oh wait, THAT'S US

The whole "sensitive soul" with a "big heart" is just a cliche served up on automatic too. The sort of person who would sign up for the job of Spirit Shepherd, counsellor to the dead is probably going to be someone with a bunch of empathy. It's like making a big deal about a veterinarian with a love for animals.
