Between the main storyline, Oren and the One-Eyed Wolf and now Run, I figured there’s enough going on I should put together a visual time line of events.

Is this because I kept forgetting who that dead bison was?

Teagan Gavet

Haha no, not singling anyone out! ;] I've wanted to do one since Oren and the One-Eyed Wolf and just happened to have the time this afternoon.

Gotcha. Its cause I kept forgetting about the one dead bison

This definitely helps. I'll be referencing when I re-read everything when volume 2 arrives

(it's definitely cause you kept forgetting that one dead bison)

Its funny that you post this now. I just started working on my own timeline last night. Everything is in the correct order on mine (which is reassuring I guess), with the sole exception of the Wolves retelling of OEW. I knew that they happened at different times since it was raining in Oren's retelling, but not the wolves. But I wouldn't have guessed it happened before volume 1 even. So I assume Red getting trampled happened a few months before the wolves retelling? (the prior spring, since all the grass is green?)

Well, I'm glad the math checks out and our timelines mostly matched! Yup, Red was trampled sometime in the spring before the wolves' retelling. In Oren and the One-Eyed Wolf (which was actually the first time people saw Red) he's posted up at the same spot as when we meet him in the main story. It alludes to the fact that all he can do now is keep watch.

"It alludes to the fact that all he can do now is keep watch" You know, I love the little details like this about the story. Even if its not something that is actively and consciously picked up on when reading the story, it still adds a ton of subtle context to things subconsciously IMO. That one line speaks way more to me than just "He's a cripple that only serves one use". Because by all measures, he SHOULD be dead. One of the undertones of this story is that the actions of those desperately trying to live is robbing the futures of others trying not to die. We've had so much potential lost in this universe because of it. From Quanaq, to Sprig, Seral, Clay, Yarrow, and even Keen. But NOW, he's a character that despite having little apparent potential (both before and after being trampled), is granted the ability to be so much more than just a burden on a pack stricken with food scarcity. All thanks to those daring enough to spit in the face of the natural world. Red is one of my favorite characters for this reason, because he's a living, breathing example of the world Oren, Swift, Rask, and Sibyl are all trying to create. Even if some of those characters don't quite fully realize or comprehend yet.

He's the bison killed at the beginning of volume 1, and the main character in the run comic
