The living story
The story so far
Dirk is the grandfather of the saber line — Megantereon, from whom Smilodon descends — and ten thousand years of extinction have not stopped him giving notes. Turok still takes them. The red ink is metaphorical. Mostly.
Happening now
Keeps the Middle Watch of the Vigil over the Purring Dark.

Why someone keeps Dirk the Ancestor
- because grandfathers who give notes across ten millennia are treasures
- because “Good shadow. Work on the entrance” is the best feedback ever given
- because the saber line’s roots deserve a place of honor
The Bonefields
The extinct: Smilodon, American lion, Homotherium, cave lion, Machairodus, Dinofelis, Barbourofelis, Thylacosmilus, and the small ancestors. They sleep in stone and wake in story.
