Black Tapestries is a long running (though no longer updated) webcomic about a world called Raekarta which is home to Humans, and a race of anthroanimals called Kaetif. The story stares Lorelei, an immortal werefox who likely already wants to kill you. The story mostly details the conflicts between Humans and Kaetif, the various attempts of the Order to capture Lorelei, and how series antagonist Issac is involved.
The comic is written and drawn by Jakkal. It was started in 2002, though was abandoned in 2007. It was going to be started up again in 2008, but after a couple filler pages the comic was again abandoned. In February 2010 Jakkal has announced that she will be rebooting the comic, but this has yet to happen. Recently though, it has been announced that the comic will be rebooted on July 11, 2011.
- Abandoned Info Page: Originally the pages just had outdated stuff about the characters and plot. Now the links to any of the info pages are just flat-out broken.
- Action Girl: Lorelei
- Animorphism: Lorelei and Issac.
- Bolivian Army Hiatus: This is not alone!!!
- Conflicting Loyalty: Tristan doesn't seem to know if he should side with his friends, or his father.
- Cursed with Awesome: Sort of. Lorelei and Issac are both immortal, but they still both feel pain. Lorelei is also a werefox, but she doesn't like that at all.
- Deadpan Snarker:Lorelei. Also counts as Lemony Narrator.
- Death by Origin Story: Lorelei's parents. Alaura.
- Face Heel Turn: Tristan. Apparently a case of Brainwashed and Crazy.
- Fourth Wall Mail Slot: A few comics were Lorelei, Issac or another character answer mail from readers. About half of the mail were people complaining about Lorelei not liking her werefox form, while others were questions about plot elements.
- Filler Strips: The most notable is the most recent one which, not only is a big advertisement for the author's RP site, but is also unfinished and the last few posts to the comic.
- Grey and Grey Morality: A lot.
