Tartok

Both a bloodline and a culture founded by Siku Tartok. When she clashed with her sister Nanuq of Shearwater Bay, Siku departed from her sister's claim and forged her own path: eventually leading to the creation of a more bestial culture, wherein wolves were welcomed to appease their baser instincts. The culture is heavily influenced by Inuit traditions. The packs work more like a militia wherever they lay their claim: the matriarch at the helm, and her children serving as her soldiers.

Naming

Children are number-named until they are weaned.

1. Atuaserk

Once weaned, they are given one or more names in their native tongue based on their personality and perception by their parents and the rest of the pack.
