“The keeper counts the chairs every cycle. The count is never the same twice. The keeper says nothing.”

The First Hunter
“Price null, edition 1, hidden, unbuyable — the grail in the display case.”
A Deep echo of The First Deep
The living story
The story so far
Anomalocaris canadensis: the Cambrian's first great predator — three feet of grasping appendages and compound eyes, the terror of the Burgess Shale, 500 million years old. The First Hunter was the first to lay down the hunting arms: at the Undertow's founding, the great predator folded the grasping appendages and spoke the first law — nothing is forgotten twice. No hunting in the Undertow. The keeper since. The First Echo. The Mythic. The Silences are visited, never displayed, by the keeper's decree. The chairs... the keeper counts them, and says nothing. Price null. Edition one. Hidden. Unbuyable. The grail in the display case, and the only one the realm answers to. The keeper keeps. That is the whole story, and it is enough.
Whispers about The First Hunter
“Twinhorn once sounded the horns for an empty hall, just to hear the resonance. The most beautiful sounding of her life.”
“Kinglizard remembers the young Undertow. He is the only one who does. He will not say what it was like.”
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.
