~~ Oren and the One-Eyed Wolf ~~
This 13-page side comic is set nebulously between the first and second volume of Oren’s Forge. In a dual narrative between Oren and Gristle, the One-Eyed Wolf, the story delves into the past and provides insight into the wolf pack, as well as Oren’s motivations for starting the Hollow. You can read it on Patreon, or grab the PDF on my ko-fi shop!

That's gonna get tricky, even when handwaving the obvious, giant obstacles to finding common ground. How's Swift supposed to live there? What little carnivore-acceptable forage Rask and Egg can find in the area only barely sustains them - and a wolf might need as much as both of them combined. And she has cubs to support.
Now now, I wouldn't say "no way in hell".
Honestly, the issue of how predators will survive in a world where prey organizes and rejects being food feels like one of the central themes of this entire story. It's the biggest of all elephants in the room. Oren learning metalworking? Rask and Egg voluntarily abandoning eating meat? Those are just steps. Isolated snapshots of a moment. And even should they end up being the pivot point around which the world changes - that still doesn't answer the question of what does the world change into. What is the actual solution that reconciles the fundamentally opposed, and seemingly mutually exclusive, goals of the two groups?
I'm not sure if the comic will go there. And if it does, I'm not sure how long it will take, given the amount of work each page requires. But it might go there. And then we might find out. And Swift might be able to live in peace with those she no longer has a reason to hunt.
Hence, "that's gonna get tricky". But not entirely impossible.
