Notable Broken Tusk Following Members

Argakoa the Songsinger (female human)

Otter House leader and Mammoth Lord, is the daughter of Ulfen merchants from Hellirinn. She was still in her teens when she fell madly in love with a snowcaster elf named Letsua. The couple journeyed to Hillcross together, where they met Eiwa and agreed to travel with the Broken Tusks. Argakoa combined her childhood training as a skald with her passion for the lore of the Broken Tusk to become the foremost of the following’s songsingers. As she enters old age—what the Tusks call “the long-hair years”— Argakoa hopes to pass on her mastery of song and saga to a worthy student of the art.

Grandfather Eiwa (male human)

Falcon House leader, Mammoth Lord, and a rare Kellid centenarian, is the oldest living member of the Broken Tusk. Eiwa was briefly married in his youth, but after his husband’s early death, he has remained single. He never fathered any children, but he’s a popular and beloved mentor to many of the Broken Tusk’s youngest generation, hence the appellation he bears proudly.

As a young man, Eiwa rose to prominence in the following due to his quick thinking and forethought. While his cleverness made his opinion valuable, his kindness won him the trust and friendship of many of his own generation and the next. Eiwa was an early champion of recruiting nonhumans into the Broken Tusk and teaching them the following’s ways. He continues to take a special interest in new recruits and does his best to help them adjust, even though he senses his time among the following is short.

Letsua (male elf)

Letsua of Otter House is a Forlorn elf and Mammoth Lord originally hailing from Kyonin. He doesn’t think often of the quarrels that led him to forsake his homeland. Shortly after he agreed to marry Argakoa, the two took up Eiwa’s offer to live among the Broken Tusks. Now, decades later, Letsua has solidified his place as one of the Broken Tusk’s most valuable Mammoth Lords. Though highly skilled and passionate, Letsua’s impatience can sometimes come across as arrogance. He has a strong willingness to change his mind when presented with new facts or options—this trait greatly aids the following in times when adaptability is key to survival, but it irks more than a few fellow Tusks, some of whom point to Letsua’s mercurial decision‑making as a sign of unreliability.

​

Merthig the Firekeeper (male dwarf)

Nakta the Healer (non-binary half-orc)

Musk Ox House leader and Mammoth Lord, is a grandson of the first dwarves to join the Broken Tusk following. He recently became the following’s youngest Mammoth Lord, taking the place of his grandmother. As a young man, Merthig made a name for himself as a fearless hunter and fighter, particularly in skirmishes with frost giants. In the most legendary of his encounters, he slew an ogre single-handedly, but he lost his lower arm as a result. Despite now wielding only one fighting axe, he remains quite formidable when put to the test. He rarely ventures far from the following these days, focusing on tending the fires, finding assistants to help with camp duties, and spending time with his husband, Kopua.

​

​

Moose House leader and Mammoth Lord, is the most powerful wielder of magic among the Broken Tusks. An orphan raised by Broken Tusks from a young age, Nakta’s skill with magic was greeted and honed with great excitement. Given the rarity of spellcasters among Mammoth Lord followings, the Broken Tusk community rightly viewed Nakta’s gift as a rare and valuable boon. Nakta maintains a disarmingly calm demeanor in even the most perilous situations; when the healer pauses before speaking—a characteristic quirk—nearly everyone in the vicinity goes silent with anticipation. Nakta invites anyone to join them in silent meditation each dawn, and they keep a keen eye on people who exhibit a knack for spellcasting.

Wipa (female half-elf)

Wipa of Otter House is a second-generation Broken Tusk, daughter of Letsua and Argakoa. She and her sister Panuaku are from the same set of triplets, but their brother didn’t survive childhood. Wipa is in the last few days of her pregnancy. Wipa’s husband, Weohatan, was a half-elf who joined the following several years ago. He died only a few weeks ago from wounds sustained while hunting an aurochs. Wipa is deeply knowledgeable, highly skilled, and kind to a fault. She holds a deep-seated reverence for Broken Tusk traditions that has only strengthened since she became a widow. At camp, Wipa makes worry stones from pretty rocks she finds on her long, solitary walks.

​

Panuaku (female half-elf)

Panuaku of Otter House is Wipa’s twin sister and one of the following’s most reliable hunters. Despite her brash and fiery personality, she’s a team player with a deep commitment to seeing others succeed—it’s just that she might yell at them a good deal in the process.

Young hunters sometimes bear a grudge against Panuaku initially, though a single compliment from the master huntress is often all it takes to dispel such hard feelings.

​

​

Pakano (male human youth)

Pakano of Falcon House is the great-grandson of Eiwa’s deceased sister and a presumed successor to Eiwa’s role as leader of Falcon House. The young man has an impressive physique and striking heterochromatic eyes–one yellow, one brown. Orphaned at a young age, he was raised by Eiwa. The haughty young Kellid takes considerable pride in his heritage. Pakano usually keeps his black hair in a tight braid so that his dual-colored eyes are on full display. He wears hide armor made from animals he has killed but makes sure to keep his toned muscles on full display. Like you, Pakano is a scout in training, under Wipa

​

​

Imek (female human)

Imek of Falcon House loves animals and spends her days brushing out the woolly coats of the following’s domesticated mammoths. Other children bully and ostracize her, calling her a tattletale and a know-nothing, though her nine winters make her older than most of her taunters. She currently lacks the physical strength or friends to stand up to her rivals, but she hopes to one day become a great mammoth rider all the same.

​

Eirthgim ()

Born among the Broken Tusks to elven mother Alhaiak and human father Eirthgim has seen some 80 winters with the Broken Tusks.

​

Hengroi (female orc ghost)

Hengroi has trained her whole life to be a legendary resource gatherer for the Broken Tusk. From when she was small, she knew she wanted to provide for her family. So she focused, and fixated, and went to every length to be as prepared as possible.

Then, she fell through the ice carelessly a month ago.

Risen as a ghost, she hates the mistake she made and refuses to waste this newfound opportunity to fulfill her life’s mission. The rest of the clan is uneasy around her, but generally accommodating towards her state. She clearly wants to help the Broken Tusk, so help she will. It’s the best way for her to find rest, after all.
