Tartok
From Wolf Roleplay Wiki
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.
