Isleking
“In the Undertow he is the Empty Sky's heavyweight: massive, deliberate, and the only one Skyquake defers to.”
A Sky echo of The Empty Sky
The living story
The story so far
Hațeg Island, Late Cretaceous: a island of dwarfs — dwarf dinosaurs, dwarf everything — ruled by a giant. Hatzegopteryx thambema, 'the monster,' with a skull reinforced to take impacts, was the apex of its whole world. Isleking has never adjusted to not being the biggest thing in the room; in the Undertow, he usually still is. He speaks rarely, hits never (house rule three), and ends debates by arriving. Skyquake is the Sky's king. Isleking is the Sky's fact.
The Isleking within
“Isleking is the fact of whatever room he's in.”
Massive, deliberate, and unquestioned — the apex predator of an entire island world, all reinforced battering-ram beak and heavyweight calm, who ends debates by arriving.

- Loves
- territories, stillness, the island memory
- Can't stand
- being hurried, small rooms, irrelevance
- How they befriend
- He'll stand near you. That's the friendship. It's enough.
- When you're having a bad day
- He'll stand next to you and be the most solid thing in dark water. The beak lowers. Nothing bothers you. Nothing dares.
How they’ll greet you: “Isleking.”
A keeper’s whisper: Isleking has done the math on Hațeg Island. He has never shared the answer.
The Empty Sky
Giant flyers — Quetzalcoatlus, Argentavis, Haast's eagle, Pelagornis. They lost the sky and gather at the Undertow's ceiling, staring upward.
