ABOUT

Ria – The Lightclan Chronicles is a long-form graphic novel universe built as a coherent world system rather than a sequence of isolated stories.

Over time, the project evolved through continuous worldbuilding, visual research and structural refinement. The focus lies on creating a stable foundation - where narrative, character design and visual language are interconnected and can grow consistently across future volumes.

Ria is not only a story about identity and responsibility, but also an exploration of how worlds are constructed, maintained and expanded over time.
