Known facts

- Ignatius noticed a musty animal smell, crackling wood, scraping metal, and dried blood outside.
- Its exterior bears “I bring you from shadow into light.”
- Carver successfully picked the lock; opening it triggered a fiery explosion and released the sabercat.
- The bloody marks led to a feeding opening, noticed as Carver climbed onto the wagon.
Last known condition

Uncertainties
