Iluliaq was born alongside three others at a time in a rarely peaceful time in his homelands. With time, he grew close to his sister, Iluq, and the two were often seen no further than a shoulder’s length away from each other. Even with the two cub’s early lesson of the way of the Tartok, the two remained close even with the incident and scarring weighing heavily in their minds. Their next impactful lesson came just after their first birthday. They were run off by their mother when they mistakenly approached her while she was in heat. The pair stuck together as they trekked south towards the Teekon Wilds as rumors of a massive storm and destruction caught their interest.
