How Mesozoica Works: Dinosaurs of the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous all live in the same time. These dinosaurs are quite accurate, but behave as humans. The kingdoms of Mesozoica are split into two realms: Saurischia and Ornithischia.
Not all creatures in the same type of family (ceratopsian, stegosaurids, etc) belong to the same kingdom. For example, triceratops and pachyrhinosauruses do not live alongside each other, but they both live in the Ornithischia realm. Each type of dinosaur stands alone as a species in their own kingdom.
However, even though predators have to hunt, it doesn't mean they have to prey on other kingdoms. There are millions and millions of outsiders and rogues, and they're super easy to identify by their 'balr'.
A balr is a unique marking every kingdom member owns. It's located on the center of their chest, and every single one is different. This is quite automatic for all kingdom-born individuals, but for those who were recruited into a kingdom would have one appear on their chest by a Mesozoican spirit. If one were to be exiled, their marking would promptly vanish. An outsider couldn't mimic a balr because these markings can flare in certain colors now and then.
This story follows a velociraptor named Tryi.
