As the carrot leads the hungry horse, so too does it lead the giant turtle that carries the Kalu'ak - the greatest of Northrend's tuskarr tribes - across the wide oceans and seas of the north. I implore you to read herein as I, Curin Hallow, have witnessed and recorded the lives of the Kalu'ak; the culture, the awful awful stench of dead fish, and the coldness that is Northrend.

The Kalu'ak are a peaceful people - fishmongers and explorers mostly. They rejoice with tribal chants and strange yet fascinating rituals, often bordering on the druid or shamanic. The elders of the tribe are usually the shamans. Coincidence, or plain old-fashioned heirarchy? You be the judge!

They continue to fight for their place in Northrend, holding bases at Moa'ki and Une'pe along the south-western coast. It would appear as though they are under attack, as magi of Malygos, and other foes, are attempting to use the spiritual powers of the Kalu'ak to further their evil plots and nefarious schemes.

However, this doesn't deter the great Fishmongers! For they are always hunting bigger and bigger game, from the mighty whale to the common whitebass. The Kalu'ak also prove to be quite the fighters, leading one to wonder if this is simply a habitual thing, or perhaps something they teach from elder to youngling. In any case, they prove to do well with a spear, halberd, or other polearm, even going so far as too mount the ferocious turtles of Northrend, upon which they fight off the Mage-Hunters of Malygos - and what's more, they know the secret to cooking a really fantastic whale-bone steak.

They've certainly given the old goblins down in Booty Bay a run for their money. I'd not want to fish against one of the tuskarr.

The Kalu'ak are quite the fine builders, too, often building their homes from the sparse resources of Northrend - bones of the whales or simply lumber they harvest despite the scarcity trees on the coast there. They've even managed to make a simple conveyance system work - pulleys and levers working to move an old lift between the tuskarr settlement of Kamagua on the Isle of Spears and the mainland cliffs of the Howling Fjord; certainly proving their engineering prowess.

The Kalu'ak will remain the leaders of the pack when it comes to fishing - for a long time, as the last picture shows.
