Same world, so yes there are ties between the two. Faen is out there, and many of the same background characters will make appearances. The new story is about a new central character, and takes place in another country. some parts of it have been shown in the old Kelen.
2) What is the fate of Joe and Shali?
They get married, and not a whole lot more. Well, nothing we could consider exciting.

Shali becomes a master/teacher at the Tower, and Joe happily remains a librarian in the restricted area since he's immune to the dangerous things there. I might still do a short about the truth behind what Joe is, so I'm not willing to quite give that away.
3) What is the fate of Arris? (Dunno why, but I'm insatiably curious about him, even tho he seems to be a bit player)
Arris is under the effect of a curse. He went and pissed off the wrong witch is all. It wasn't something I ever planned on curing, but he does learn to assume a human shape thanks to watching Joe switch to the glowing form. I hadn't put a whole lot of effort into Arris sadly as there was simply so much going into other things. I feel bad about that considering the depth of the other characters.
4) What is the fate of Henri and Bob? And who is the Henri-lookalike? Will we be seeing more of Henri, as he is elven? (I think there was a mention in the tag board about this, but I just want confirmation?)
That isn't a Henri look alike.. that IS Henri. He and Bob are the only characters that are crossing over. After another ten something years in the Mage guard he gets tired of it, and Desen, and flees the city.
5) By any wierd chance is this new guy related to Joe and Shali? *grin* or Arris, since the new comic is undertitled Dragon's Blood?
Tyr is the new guy, and no he's no relation to any of the previous main characters. I said main characters for a reason. O:) Tyr is the son of one of the background characters.
