Dirk

Summary

Dirk is a player character played by Laura M. He is one of the original party members, first noted in Everchard as a Goliath.

Known Details

  • On Day 1, Dirk was present at the Cider Inn Cider when the party began investigating Everchard’s missing pigs, missing people, and memory tampering.
  • Day 1 also records Dirk seeing a rat around the time an unidentified fifth human warrior vanished from memory.
  • Dirk often consults ancestors for guidance, including asking what would happen if the party released the Valentinhide-like figure and whether the party could defeat Browning as they were.
  • Dirk’s family and people are recurring concerns: Dirk Sr told Dirk to see his sister Ingris, and Bridged later said Dirk was on the path to free his people.
  • Dirk’s path to freeing his people is now understood as the wider Goliath liberation and restoration arc: freeing Goliaths from dragon control, supporting Dirk Sr and Anastasia’s resistance, reclaiming Ashkellon / the Goliath tower, restoring memories, and restoring the Sphinx protector stolen from the Goliaths.
  • The party freed Goliaths from tents and camps, learned of generations serving dragons, and supported Dirk Sr’s plan to gather armies from Salvation.
  • In Ashkellon, the party helped the resistance, killed Emmeredge, triggered blessings that armed, shielded, and healed the Goliaths, and later coordinated with Anastasia for a pincer movement against Vathkell.
  • Anastasia is important to Dirk personally and politically: she gave him Ennuyé’s fifth ring, helped coordinate Goliath resistance, and spent the night with him on Day 43.
  • The Day 46 Menagerie battle revealed that the Original Goliath Sphinx had been stolen and altered when the Dome was created, used to alter Dome-wide memories, then defeated so memories could be restored and its Sphinx aspect could reincarnate as Bynx.
  • On Day 57, Dirk spoke Aquan to Globule in the whirlpool and later asked the ancestors whether the party would land safely in the death realm.
  • Queen Mooncoral gave the party a sending stone and ring of fire resistance after the merfolk rescue.
