Kaidro: The Relic

The Origin of Kaidro

Before
The Relic,
There Was
A World.

Before Macmillan and Storyteller, before the hardcover manga, Kaidro was built panel by panel. Original print manga. A Webtoon series that found its first global readers. TikToks that showed every step of how this universe was made and all of this was created without AI, this is where it started.

Story

In a world torn asunder, the technocratic elite of the floating Upper Cities wage war against the spiritually adept K'ailantians who dwell in the wasteland below.

In the middle are the Contractors: nomadic mechanics and traders who roam the barren lands in colossal vehicle convoys. One young Contractor, Ava, is an orphan with dreams of piloting a Spark Suit mech alongside her loyal friends Kiwi and Lukas.

She discovers that she is a Kaidro, a person with the ability to conjure energy from the Astral Realm into the physical world. Many want to utilize Ava for their gain, but she must decide what she will do with this immense power.
