(While I take the remainder of the month to travel away from my PC and finish getting a few more pages added to the current backlog, I'll be answering reader questions with some art! Remember you can still ask your questions via comments here, or over email.) A lot of folks asked about Sorit's tattoo this time, so I made it the first answer. The symbol is actually a fairly old Asini marker for a period of 500 years. It picked up a secondary meaning among surviving Asini to honor the 500 years period between the creation of their race, and Asis' death. Fun trivia, Sorit did not have his tattoo in the first scene in the comic, and received it later in the story.
