Tank
“In the Undertow she is the Long Winter's quartermaster: slow, thorough, and the keeper of absolutely everything.”
A Stone echo of The Long Winter
The living story
The story so far
Glyptodon clavipes: the size of a small car, wrapped in a domed shell of interlocking bony scutes — a mammal built like a tank, because the Pleistocene demanded it. Tank has kept the shell and the temperament: in the Undertow she is the Long Winter's quartermaster, keeper of the stores, counter of the blankets, guardian of the reserves. Nothing enters or leaves without Tank's mark. The faction has never gone without. The faction has also never gotten anything quickly. Tank considers this the correct trade.
The Tank within
“Tank keeps the stores full and the ledger perfect — almost.”
Thorough, slow, and utterly reliable — the car-sized Glyptodon, all domed scute-shell and methodical eyes, keeping the Long Winter's quartermaster stores against every winter.

- Loves
- full shelves, the ledger, due course
- Can't stand
- waste, haste, unmarked releases
- How they befriend
- She'll keep your reserves and never tell.
- When you're having a bad day
- She'll issue you the good blanket, the reserve tea, and a place by the stores, all properly marked. The order helps. The order always helps.
How they’ll greet you: “State your requisition.”
A keeper’s whisper: The perfect ledger has one lie in it. It was the kindest thing Tank ever did.
The Long Winter
Ice Age giants — mammoth, Megatherium, the Siberian unicorn, the Irish elk. The most haunted faction: some of them watched the humans come.
