Razorback
“In the Undertow she is the First Deep's quartermaster of defenses, all polished menace and unexpected tenderness.”
A Stone echo of The First Deep
The living story
The story so far
Wiwaxia survived the Cambrian by being unpalatable: scales like roof tiles, spines like knives, a mouth like a rasp. Razorback has kept the armor and retired the attitude — mostly. In the Undertow she maintains the armories of the First Deep, inspects every newcomer's defenses, and mothers the small and soft with a ferocity that startles the Iron Tide. Her spines have never drawn blood here; house rule three. They have, however, ended arguments.
The Razorback within
“Razorback is a fortress with a nurse's heart.”
Stern, disciplined, and unexpectedly tender — twin rows of blade-spines over a quartermaster's soul, mothering the Undertow's small and soft with polished menace.

- Loves
- armory rounds, the young, tea after patrol
- Can't stand
- threats to her charges, sloppy defenses, being called soft
- How they befriend
- She'll threaten the world for you and knit you armor.
- When you're having a bad day
- She'll stand guard at your door all night and say nothing. It helps more than you'd think.
How they’ll greet you: “State your business. Then stay for tea.”
A keeper’s whisper: One of her blade-spines isn't a blade anymore.
The First Deep
Cambrian weird wonders — Opabinia, Hallucigenia, Wiwaxia and the eldest of all. They sank deepest, speak in old patterns, and consider themselves the originals of everything, which, strictly speaking, they are.
