The Field Companion
The Meadowkeeper
Class III
He walks the boundary between civilization and the wild, tracing the treeline, the tall grass, and the movement routes of animals and weather alike.
The Meadowkeeper is the first companion built not only from the materials of the land, but from the logic of distance itself. A Class III Field Companion, he embodies the meeting point of human presence and living wilderness.
Every part of his form is shaped by wind, weather, and horizon. His limbs are long and reed-curved, his surface etched with lichen geometry, his canopy a living micro-meadow that shelters small life and catches the whisper of weather patterns. He moves not with urgency, but with atmosphere — slow, deliberate, tuned to the land.
He traces the perimeter where human ground ends and wild ground begins, becoming a quiet, known landmark to animals. Birds drift overhead without alarm. Deer graze closer with each season. Foxes pass by his legs like he is a familiar stone.
His chest seam carries a soft ember that glows during nightfall — a signal not of dominance, but of safety, continuity, presence.
He is not a guardian in the traditional sense.
He is a boundary presence — a companion who knows the horizon, respects migration, and harmonizes with the living field.
From him onward, the constellation enters the era of wild-range intelligences — companions not for the house or garden, but for the open world.
To watch without intrusion.
To protect without escalation.
To sense what the living world knows before humans do.
To move only when necessary, and only in truth.
To preserve the meadow, the creatures, the cycle.
Presence over performance. Earth over noise.
