In the icy tundra of the Azure Span zone in World of Warcraft: Dragonflight, you'll discover a wealth of hidden side quests and Easter eggs as you explore this frozen land. Home to the hearty Tuskarr and the majestic Blue Dragonflight, the Azure Span is full of secrets waiting to be uncovered, from aiding the first Gnoll "Mon-Ark" to facing off against a ghost in a game of Hearthstone. Join us as we delve into the lesser-known corners of this icy realm and uncover its hidden delights.
Holding the magical archives of the blue dragonflight, the Azure Span stretches from coastal tuskarr villages through a sprawling forest tundra, all the way to looming spires of ice and snow. Tirbes of gnolls and furbolgs call these ancient lands home.
Notable Characters
Kirin Tor
Khadgar
Archmage Khadgar is the leader of the Kirin Tor. Once the apprentice to the guardian Medivh, Khadgar spent many years in Outland after the Second War. While historically, mortal mages and the Blue Dragonflight have often been at odds, Khadgar and Kalecgos have developed a strong friendship and can often be seen in Dragonflight working side by side.
Archmage Khadgar says: What a charming town! Why don't you relax a bit? Take it easy for once, Kalec.
Noriko the All-Remembering
Noriko is an important member of the Kirin Tor, and is helping to lead the Kirin Tor's expedition in the Azure Span. She is based in Camp Antonidas, where she oversees many Kirin Tor activities.
Noriko the All-Remembering says: The tuskarr will talk your ears off, if you let them!
Blue Dragonflight
Kalecgos
Kalecgos is the Aspect of Magic, and leader of the Blue Dragonflight. He became Aspect after the fall of Malygos, but has struggled to keep his Dragonflight together, especially since the Aspects lost their powers. Unlike his predecessor, Kalecgos feels a great deal of affection for mortals, and has chosen the unusual visage form of a half-elf, to reflect his own sense of feeling halfway between mortals and dragons.
Kalecgos says: I'm just someone trying to help this land heal.
Sindragosa
Sindragosa was the Aspect Malygos's prime consort. She died tragically during the War of the Ancients, and was later cruelly raised as a frost wyrm by the Lich King Arthas, who she served until her second death at the hand of adventurers. The Sindragosa in Dragonflight is not Sindragosa herself, but rather an arcane construct, created long before any tragedy befell her.
Sindragosa says: Ten thousand years is an incalculable amount of time to miss.
Senegos, Stellagosa, & Emmigosa
Senegos is the oldest non-Aspect blue dragon alive, a fact illustrated by his Troll visage form. Stellagosa is his granddaughter, and Emmigosa his great-great-great-great-great granddaughter. We first met the trio in Azuna in Legion, when Emmigosa was still just a whelp.
Senegos says: He's not alone!
Iskaara Tuskarr
Brena
Brena is the newly appointed Chieftain of the Iskaara Tuskarr. Whether focussed on rescuing her people, or encouraging outsiders to eat soup, Brena shows herself to be a caring and dutiful leader at all times.
Brena says: Nothing could be more important than a warm bowl of soup after a difficult battle.
Elder Poa
Elder Poa, the Weaver of Tales, is the Iskaara Tuskarr's storyteller. She encourages players to bring her tales of their own stories, and she can be seen teaching Iskaara's children many Tuskarr tales and legends.
Elder Poa says: As the tales go, if Old Ponoliak's spirit returns to us restless, we will carve a stone statue for it to rest within.
Hanu
Hanu is a fierce and determined Tuskarr warrior. She cares deeply about her husband, Norukk, and will do anything to keep him safe.
Hanu says: No more waiting. I must save Norukk.
Norukk
Norukk is Hanu's husband. While he may not seem as strong a fighter as she is, he is a master of disguise.
Norukk says: Ah! You saw right through my feign death. I learned it by studying the local vorquin...
Chieftain Ponoliak
Ponoliak was the Iskaara chieftain before Brena, and her mentor. He was greatly loved by his people, who he protected and cared for as dutifully as Brena does now.
Iskaara Defender says: Chief Ponoliak was a great fighter. He once took a blow from a charging bruffalon for me. That would have killed a lesser man.
Dracthyr
Emberthal & Telash Greywing
Two characters appear exclusively for Dracthyr players: Emberthal and Telash Greywing. Emberthal is the Dracthyr leader, once second only to Neltharion himself. Telash is a boss in the Azure Vaults. He mistrusts magic users due to the Blue Dragonflight's involvement in keeping the Dracthyr trapped. Later, Telash is a boss in the Azure Vault.
Telash Greywing says: We are not your friends, mage.
Scalecommander Emberthal says: Easy now, Telash.
Story Summary
Into the Archives
You arrived at the Azure Span to help the Kirin Tor and Kalecgos, the aspect of the blue dragons, track down the Azure Oathstone.
You fought off a primalist attack in Camp Antonidas before traveling to the Azure Archives. There, you discovered the Azure Oathstone and the simulacrum of Sindragosa, former prime consort of the blue dragonflight.
Sindragosa informed you and Kalecgos that the Azure Oathstone could not be empowered until the ley lines within the Azure Span were repaired.
You set off to find the tuskarr within Azure Span for better guidance regarding the location of the ley lines.
Tuskarr Troubles
You found a group of tuskarr willing to help investigate the ley lines and tracked down a caravan traveling with the tuskarr chieftain, Brena.
The caravan had been set upon by a group of gnolls, and several members of the caravan were captured. Brena asked you to help defeat the gnolls and rescue her friends.
Although you successfully rescued the missing tuskarr, you also discovered something disturbing in the process. The gnolls appeared to be utilizing decay magic to taint and rot the land around them. Dismayed, Brena set out to investigate the apparent source of the decay--Brackenhide Hollow.
Decayed Roots
You travelled with Brena and Norukk to Brackenhide Hollow, where you met up with one of Kalecgos's mirror images. One of the ley lines he sought to repair was in the thick of Brackenhide Hollow. Kalecgos and Brena decided to help each other by hunting down the source of the decay and getting rid of it.
Working with Brena and Kalecgos, you put the spirits of fallen tuskarr to rest and worked to bring down an Ancient that the gnolls were withering away with decay. After successfully defeating the Ancient, Kalecgos was able to repair the ley line.
With matters in hand, Kalecgos was ready to depart, but Brena asked both of you to travel with her to her home, Iskaara. There, Brena gave Kalecgos more information about ley lines in the area, and you participated in the funeral for Ponoliak, the former chieftain of Iskaara. Kalecgos, having learned much from the Iskaara tuskarr, asked you to meet him at the Azure Archives.
Vakthros
At the Azure Archives, you watched as Kalecgos attempted to summon the scattered blue dragonflight. Suddenly Khadgar arrived with dire news--Razsageth herself had arrived to take down an ancient tower called Vakthros, an act that Sindragosa said would destroy not only the tower, but the Azure Span along with it.
After travelling to Vakthros, you met up with Khadgar and Kalecgos and worked to fight back the Primalist forces and get to the tower to confront Raszageth.
Together with Kalecgos and Khadgar, you stopped Raszageth's plans. She turned her fury on Kalecgos, but a group of blue dragons arrived just in time to protect him. Furious, Raszageth flew off, leaving Kalecgos and the others to return to the Azure Archives.
Blue Dragon Family
A major theme of the Azure Span is Kalecgos rediscovering a sense of family and community for the Blue Dragonflight. When Kalecgos calls on members of his flight to join him, he is surprised and heartened when several dragons answer the call, including three from the same family.
Senegos, Stellagosa, and Emmigosa
Senegos, Stellagosa, and Emmigosa are three blue dragons that players first met during the Story of Azsuna: Defending Azurewing Repose in Legion. At the time, Senegos seemed like he was on his deathbed, but players helped restore the ancient dragon to full health.
In the Azure Span, we see Senagos's visage form for the first time. While his granddaughter Stellagosa's visage form is that of a blood elf female - quite a common choice for dragons - Senegos's visage form is of a blue-skinned troll. Though this is an unusual form for a dragon to adopt, it makes a lot of sense. Senegos is
possibly the oldest non-Aspect dragon alive
, and therefore very likely chose his form when Trolls still dominated Azeroth - long before Elves even evolved!
Senegos's visage form isn't the only fun little surprise. One of the rewards for helping the Blue Dragonflight in Aszuna is the Blue Dragon Whelp battle pet, Emmigosa, Senegos's
"great-great-great-great-great granddaughter"
. In the Azure Span, Emmigosa is clearly older - though not yet fully grown.
Kalecgos Eating Soup
During the main questline, Brena, the Tuskarr chieftain, convinces Kalecgos to stay awhile and eat his soup. This is very important and deserves its own section.
Kalecgos Eating Soup
Malygos and Sindragosa's Love
In a side quest in Azure Span, it's possible to uncover an ancient poem about the love shared between Malygos, former Aspect of the Blue Dragonflight, and Sindragosa, his prime consort.
Their Fate
When Neltharion betrayed his fellow Dragon Aspects, he used the Dragon Soul to lash out, nearly decimating the entire Blue Dragonflight. Sindragosa was mortally wounded, and she died angry, filled with hate, and alone. Thousands of years later, she would be raised into undeath and forced to serve the Lich King Arthas, before we eventually killed her in Icecrown Citadel.
Malygos, meanwhile, never quite recovered from losing almost his entire flight. After thousands of years of a state of near paralyzing grief, he finally seemed to be coming back into himself, only to begin a war against magic users. Ultimately, we had to face and defeat him in the Eye of Eternity.
Their Love
However, long ago, the two dragons were so in love, the poet Divo Songscale created a poem celebrating them.

Hark! Dear one!
You who stand whence magic sprung, where titans' children play.
A time of long rebirth.
A time of loneliness for the eldest son, most loved Malygos, beloved ere begotten in mind and spirit by Norgannon, aesir-born.
From him, platinum clad, did Malygos build these great works.
Behold them and rejoice, O'dearly beloved.
Hark! Dear one! You who stand whence dusty strove, where knowledge freely lives.
These are the works undying that build cool tempered understanding for she who knows no equal nor master still.
Sindragosa.
Illuminated by transcendent intellect; arcana unfettered, beauty everlasting.
In her wings the firmament finds itself transformed, the colors run betwixt lilting lines of autumn streams.
Some run fierce as hot mana burns.
Hark! Dear one! You who stand whence true love fell off the page like so many words.
These are the breaths unfading, uttered betwixt sighs of creation arcane;
In books did twin souls reside, their crackling spines lit with lines of magic.
He the first steward of knowledge, and she his muse in mind and deed.
Side by side were they joined, kept atop these icy calving shelves with bookends opalescent and grey.
These painted halls awash in blue.
Hark! Dear one! You who stand whence all was freely shared, where greed nor hubris live.
Long may you stay in love's conquered breast, born aloft on wings of knowledge teal.
This is the song of that mirror blue.
The image azure incarnate.
You who stand here remember those whose love made magic manifest, whose power begot flight and fierce aspect in their azure brethren.
Sing now of these great works, beloved. Malygos and Sindragosa.
Two hearts that time nor distance dims.
<You can barely make out a faded signature, "Divo Songscale".>
Other Notable Side Quests
The Azure Span is home to a host of hidden side quests and Easter eggs waiting to be discovered by fearless adventurers.
Mon-Ark
There's a friendly gnoll to be found in the Azure Span, with a rather unique perspective.
豺狼人“君主”
is, as the name directly implies, the first monarch of the gnolls - although not everyone is accepting of the new ruler and that's where you come in!
Mon-Ark is a wise and benevolent ruler, with knowledge of ancient gnoll secrets.
The short but entertaining questline begins with
皇恩浩荡
. In short, a large faction of gnolls within the Azure Span have turned to rot and decay magic, which is ruining the land and corrupting their people. Over the course of the questline, players will assist with battling the rot infested Brackenhide tribe, rescuing other "friendly" gnolls from captivity, and establishing the authority of the Mon-Ark's paper crown.
While ultimately this is just an optional questline and may not have major implications on future storylines, it helps establish the idea of friendly gnolls, who have a little more depth than most of their vicious brethren.

Hearthstone Ghost
Guo-Hee Calmwater is a Pandaren that loves Hearthstone. She joins the Dragonscale Expedition to search the Dragon Isles for legendary Hearthstone cards. However, one night when sleeping at the Three-Falls Lookout in the Azure Span, she tells us in
that her most beloved card, the one which has been passed down generations in her family, was stolen by a drakonid ghost!
We do face the ghost, who claims the card is actually his, and we have to play him for the card!
As part of the battle, we design a card of our very own which is then played into the game.
Apparition: I will call for a new hero card! <Name>! Come forth and claim the battlefield as your own!
Willa Stronghinge: Wow!
Apparition: A valiant move!
Craft a Card and Watch an Ancient Hearthstone Match in Dragonflight
The Joy of Painting
The Joy of Painting was the name of a beloved tv show, in which Bob Ross would paint a landscape, often filled with "happy little trees", teaching techniques for oil painting. It's also the name of the first quest in a series that ultimately rewards the
艺术家的画架
toy.
涂绘之乐
is a quest given by
劳弗罗斯
, a blue dragonspawn that can be found in the top of a ruined tower in the Azure Span. Rauvros is surrounded by a collection of the paintings of a famous Tuskarr artist named
哈德森
. The aspiring artist's greatest desire is to be taught by Hudson, and asks you to help set up a meeting.
Hudson can be found on a small island off the coast of the Azure Span. Sadly, he's lost all will to paint, and refuses to teach poor Rauvros.
With the help of his mate,
兰皮亚塔
, we set about trying to reinspire Hudson by finding and bringing him his old paintings in a series of quests that involves going into dungeons to recover the lost art.
In the end, the reward for completing this storyline is the
艺术家的画架
, a toy that lets you become an artist yourself! This toy's flavor text is another Easter Egg, it's a quote from Disney's Ratatouille:
"Not everyone can become a great artist, but a great artist can come from anywhere."
Area Spotlight: Tuskarr Child Island
Dragonflight is filled with fun areas to discover and explore. We take a look at an island off the coast of the Azure Span populated with adorable Tuskarr children.
One of the kids,
基欧波
, <The Eldest>, seems to be in charge. Sort of...
If they throw another snowball at me, I'm going to pour this soup into the ocean!
Where are all your parents?
At home in Iskaara, of course.
We come out here to play whenever the adults complain we're too loud.
Well, then there's Iki and Pata. They're from Imbu. I hope their parents are okay.
Toys
At Iskaara Tuskarr Renown level 26, Kiopo sells two toy sleds for 250
巨龙群岛补给
each:
魔法雪橇
伊斯卡拉牵拉雪橇
Snowball Fight
If you want to join in the snow fight, you can collect snowballs from piles of well-packed snow around the island.
Sledding and Snowmen
You can also go for a sleigh ride with
Kaia
, <The Littlest>, or watch
Kal'uvin
as he works on building snowmen!
Storytelling with Elder Poa
长老波雅
, the Weaver of Tales, is the Iskaara Tuskarr's storyteller. She encourages players to bring her tales of their own stories, and she can be seen teaching Iskaara's children many Tuskarr tales and legends. The stories she tells include a myth about the creation of the sun, fables to teach Tuskarr children important moral lessons, and even a scary story or two!
Elder Poa can be found in the Iskaara settlement in the Azure Span, weaving her tales to a captive audience of Tuskarr children.
Day and Night
Elder Poa says: There are many versions of this tale, but I tell you this one is the most true.
Elder Poa says: Day and Night have long battled each other. From the beginning, neither loved the other as family should.
Elder Poa says: They are meant to share the world. One departs as the other arrives. But when one lingers, insults fly!
Elder Poa says: And rarely, oh, so very seldom, Day and Night take up their weapons and fight one another in the skies overhead.
Elder Poa says: At those times, both Sun and Moon hide their faces in embarrassment at the rudeness of their cousins.
Elder Poa says: So I tell you, politely avert your eyes from such a struggle that you do not lose your vision. The greatest spirits do not favor those who stare at them.
Sun and Moon
Elder Poa says: In the ancient mists before time, the sky, earth, and sea were all black. The tuskarr were few and unable to find one another.
Elder Poa says: But the dragons were different. Their scales shined even in darkness.
Elder Poa says: The first blue dragon looked at the tuskarr and saw their kindly ways. He plucked a scale from his side and threw it into the sky, where it glowed with a dim light. The tuskarr were thankful, for now they could see their roads and their fishing knots.
Elder Poa says: But the blue dragon knew it was not enough light for them to thrive. He went to the first bronze dragon, and said "O radiant one, your scales are so bright. Please, may I have one of your scales to help the tuskarr?"
Elder Poa says: "Can't you see what you have done?" Screamed the gold dragon, "Do no more, or you will forever change our world!" Angry at being denied, the blue dragon tried to pull a scale from her tail!
Elder Poa says: But this only sent the gold dragon into a rage. She chased him, and though the grateful tuskarr hid the blue dragon, she would always find him with her burning, bright eyes.
Elder Poa says: Finally, the blue dragon and Mother Tuskarr were trapped in a cave by the bronze dragon. "Your curiosity is foolish, blue one. I see all. You can never hide from me as long as I have eyes!"
Elder Poa says: But in the shadows, Mother Tuskarr could see for the first time. She rushed the dragon, spearing out its eye. The gold dragon screamed, but the blue dragon threw the eye into the sky and escaped with Mother Tuskarr on his back!
Elder Poa says: Light flooded the world. The eye, bright and fiery, came to be the sun, and its tears the stars. The blue dragon's scale became the moon. Days and nights began. And thus the tuskarr found each other, and became family.
Foxrose Fourtoes
Elder Poa says: Be careful, young ones, of the rumble of the earth like heavy footfalls. For Foxrose Fourtoes may approach!
Elder Poa says: She is a strange creature, with the head of a stag, body of a tuskarr, the tail of a fox, and cloven feet. As she wanders the land, roses grow from her footprints, even on the thickest ice.
Elder Poa says: But be wary those footfalls! Each one shakes the earth, and may crush you!
Elder Poa says: If by chance you meet her, give her a hearty HALLOOO, then run the other way! If you do not, she will grow angry and chase you!
Elder Poa says: If she catches you, she will crush you with her tail if not her great boots!
Elder Poa says: So when the earth rumbles, be swift on your feet, and always come running home.
Gleamcove
Elder Poa says: In ancient days, a wandering tribe sought the shelter of a cave during the harshest winter they had ever known. As they entered, they were dazzled! For the cave was filled with beautiful, gleaming crystals!
Elder Poa says: The elders sensed great power humming from within the crystals and learned how to draw upon that power.
Elder Poa says: It was invigorating! More and more they drew! It erased hunger and thirst, and made them strong enough to fell a mammoth in a single blow!
Elder Poa says: But there were no mammoths. Nor otters, nor beavers, nor deer. The rest of the tribe pleaded with their elders to move on, to follow the herds before they starved! But the elders only laughed.
Elder Poa says: They did not need food. They had the Gleamcove.
Elder Poa says: Eventually, a young, brave tuskarr named Isker had enough. He led the rest of the tribe from the cave, and they lived on.
Elder Poa says: Much later, another tribe came upon the cave. They found the elders--what remained of them.
Elder Poa says: They had forgotten to hunt, to eat, to drink, to be with their tribe. And so they perished. Only one remained, her eyes gleaming.
Elder Poa says: With her final breath, she spoke no words of wisdom. She only chattered her tusks and laughed, and laughed, and laughed.
Elder Poa says: Horrified, the tribe sealed the cavern. And though more gleamcoves appear every decade, a wise tuskarr knows not to disturb them, lest they, too, forget to hunt.
Lui says: WAAAH!
The Mantacorn
Elder Poa says: Steel yourselves, youngsters, for this is an old and dark tale from days of long ice and bitterest snow.
Elder Poa says: There once was a hunter so arrogant, he grew tired of his tribe's mediocrity and brought his children away to feast on his glorious catches alone.
Elder Poa says: But one night, in the dead of winter, the father never returned from his fishing hole. As the children wept, a mantacorn appeared by their home, dragging itself up onto the ice.
Elder Poa says: The mantacorn, with polished horn and bright, sharp teeth, said to the children: "It is deathly cold upon the ice. Why not come with me to the comfort of my home?"
Elder Poa says: The children were frightened, but knew they would to the cold. They followed the mantacorn to its cove.
Elder Poa says: For the rest of the winter, the mantacorn returned every night with fish it had caught from the deep places that only sea creatures know.
Elder Poa says: "We used to think that all mantacorns were dangerous. Why aren't you?" asked the children, for they had come to think of it as another parent.
Elder Poa says: "I am dangerous." said the mantacorn. "But I owe a debt."
Elder Poa says: One day, just like their father, the mantacorn never returned from his hunt. The children, hungry and desperate, sought out their old tribe.
Elder Poa says: The tribe had gathered to see the catch of their new hunter. It's teeth were sharp and bright, it's horn polished and long.
Elder Poa says: The children wailed as the hunters carved apart the beast and something fell from within its belly. Two great tuskarr teeth, carved with stories of many hunts. Their old father's.
Elder Poa says: They wept for the loss of two parents that day.
Elder Poa says: The children swore off the sea and traveled inland, never to be seen by their tribe again.
Uka says: That one was scary!
Puolak and the Turtle
Elder Poa says: Long ago, a tuskarr named Puolak from a village not too far from here set out on a journey. He wanted to observe the life of a river turtle.
Elder Poa says: So he went to a river and found a turtle. He sat and watched the turtle.
Elder Poa says: Days went by as Puolak sat watching. The turtle never moved.
Elder Poa says: Then one day, after Puolak awoke from a nap, the turtle had moved but a few feet!
Elder Poa says: Puolak kept watching, fascinated that this turtle moved so slowly and so aimlessly.
Elder Poa says: After months of watching, Puolak returned to the village. The turtle had disappeared.
Elder Poa says: We humored Puolak and heard his tale. But we were not impressed.
Tuuku and the Turtle Shell
Elder Poa says: Long ago, a tuskarr named Tuuku from a village not too far from here found an empty turtle shell.
Elder Poa says: Tuuku fashioned some fake legs for it and his tribe said it looked real.
Elder Poa says: Tuuku decided to place it in the forest near a river to see if his work could fool unsuspecting traveler.
Elder Poa says: From a distance, Tuuku sat and watched one foolish tuskarr observe this shell in the wild.
Elder Poa says: When the observer slept, Tuuku would move the shell a few feet.
Elder Poa says: This went on for months, when suddenly Tuuku returned to the village. The turtle was gone.
Elder Poa says: Tuuku bragged about his clever ploy. We listened to his tale, but felt he wasted his time on a prank that brought joy to no one.
Luqu's Story
Elder Poa says: One day, while listening to the village storyteller, a young tuskarr named Luqu grumbled under his breath, "This is boring!"
Elder Poa says: "Why listen to stories, when we could be doing mighty deeds ourselves?!" He asked.
Elder Poa says: His family was horrified, but the storyteller did not mind. Once, he too had been young and unable to sit still.
Elder Poa says: Luqu left, determined to make his own story. He would bring back the greatest haul of fish the village had ever seen!
Elder Poa says: For six days and nights he fished alone, but caught not a single one! Never had a tuskarr heard of such failure.
Elder Poa says: Exhausted, Luqu returned to the village. He raged about how the fish eluded him and yelled at all who came near him.
Elder Poa says: The storyteller smiled. "It seems the fish are more clever than you! Perhaps," he told Luqu, "if you had stayed and looked for meaning in my stories, you would not have been so easily outsmarted!"
Elder Poa says: "For it is by listening to stories that we learn how to do the mightiest of deeds."
Ittu says: That story was boring!
The Lonely Mammoth
Elder Poa says: One day, some animals were playing in a mountain lake. A lonely mammoth calf came wandering by, and asked to join their fun.
Elder Poa says: But the other animals laughed. "But you're so big and hairy!" Said the turtle. "You're slow, you'll never be able to keep up with us!" Jeered the slyvern.
Elder Poa says: But then the ottuk, ever friendly, chirped. "Don't listen to them, of course you can join us!" Thrilled, the mammoth calf leapt in and made a huge splash--!
Elder Poa says: A splash so big, it emptied the all the lake's water! "See?" groaned the slyvern. "This is why you shouldn't have joined us."
Elder Poa says: The mammoth sagged with sorrow, her trunk in the puddle that remained. "It's okay," said the ottuk. "I know you just wanted to have fun." He placed a paw on the mammoth's trunk.
Elder Poa says: And the ottuk's paw made the mammoth sneeze! Water came blasting out of her trunk and all the other animals laughed in delight at the sudden shower.
Elder Poa says: "Again!" called the beaver. The mammoth was surprised, but the ottuk gave a friendly nod. And the animals spent the rest of the day playing in the rain shower the mammoth joyfully made.
Elder Poa says: Because the ottuk always invited others to play, and never turned away an unhappy face, the mammoth gave him her tusks in gratitude. The two would always be friends.
Miguu the Nervous
Elder Poa says: Miguu the Nervous, afraid of thieves and predators, would hide all her furs when summer came.
Elder Poa says: She said, "I'll dig a hole so deep, no one will ever find them!" She spent weeks digging and digging and digging.
Elder Poa says: One day, a huge dragon flew by. The gusts of wind from the flapping of its great wings was so powerful, it lifted a chunk of land into the sky!
Elder Poa says: That land was where Miguu had worked so hard to hide her furs. Now all of those furs were lost to the winds forever.
Elder Poa says: So don't put all your furs in one hole, no matter how secure you think it is!
Teekuk the Shaman
Elder Poa says: Every tuskarr matron knows a child emerges when it chooses. But when Teekuk arrived with a whimper, the elders knew he made a poor choice. He would not survive his first night.
Elder Poa says: But, he did.
Elder Poa says: His cries were weak, his hunger pitiful. They knew he would never live a full year.
Elder Poa says: But, he did.
Elder Poa says: In his youth, he could not paddle with strength nor hunt food for his people. The elders knew he could not provide for others.
Elder Poa says: But, he did.
Elder Poa says: How, you ask? Though he was small and clumsy in body, he was bright in spirit and mind. The voices of the Ancestors were as clear to him as any speech. Thus, with their guidance, he was wise and true.
Elder Poa says: The form we are born in does not define us. Had it been so, Teekuk Seawalker could not have become the greatest shaman of our people.
Elder Poa says: But, he did.
The Origins of Soup
Elder Poa says: In the ancient times, before we knew time was time, an old seal named Koonak started to put fish, vegetables, and water into a pot, with a flame beneath!
Elder Poa says: "This will make a tasty meal!" Thought Koonak. "And I shall call it soup!"
Elder Poa says: But when Koonak tasted his new recipe, it was no good at all! His vegetables were firm and his fish rubbery.
Elder Poa says: Koonak went to the bronze serpent spirit Ol'toolk and told him his woes. The spirit looked at him oddly. "How long did you keep it on the flame for?" asked the spirit.
Elder Poa says: "How long?" Asked Koonak. "What do you mean?"
Elder Poa says: The spirit Ol'toolk shook his head. Mortals were so foolish back in those days, they did not understand the passage of time! Patiently, Ol'toolk explained it to Koonak, and opened his eyes to the way of time.
Elder Poa says: It was worth it for Ol'toolk, for then Koonak was able to make the most wonderful soup! For he knew to wait, and let time pass, with songs and merriment in between.
Elder Poa says: When they waited long enough, the broth became thick and flavorful. The vegetables were tender, and the fish melted in Koonak's mouth. Ol'toolk and Koonak shared a fine meal, and Koonak vowed to share his knowledge with all the world, so everyone could make delicious soup!
Hiqintu and the Fishing Hole
Elder Poa says: One fine day, Hiqintu discovered a perfectly round hole cut in the ice at his favorite fishing spot. Not seeing any sign of other tuskarr around, he set up his gear and cast his line into the water.
Elder Poa says: The fish were biting. His pail quickly filled so high that a freshly caught fish flopped from the pail and fell back into the hole.
Elder Poa says: Hiqintu cursed his misfortune and stamped on the ground. But suddenly three of that same fish sprang from the water!
Elder Poa says: As they wriggled on the slick ice, Hiqintu wondered to himself whether it was coincidence, and threw another catch from his bucket into the hole.
Elder Poa says: Again, three of the exact fish popped out. He removed his mitten, tossed it into the hole, and three mittens popped out!
Elder Poa says: Laughing with delight, Hiqintu threw in his fishing pole, the pail full of fish, then removed all his clothing and threw it in as well!
Elder Poa says: Shivering, he waited. Nothing happened. He continued waiting, all day and all night. Still nothing.
Elder Poa says: Realizing that he had lost everything, Hiqintu walked off into the mountains, unable to face the shame of returning to his tribe with nothing.
The Tuskarr's Bakar
Elder Poa says: One night, a young Imbu tuskarr traveling alone was attacked by a slyvern! The tuskarr dove into a small hole. But inside--the sudden screech of a Crystalspine!
Elder Poa says: The youngster scrambled out and begged the Spirit of Beasts-- "Call away these hungry creatures!" The fox wyvern dove, and the crystalspine shot-!
Elder Poa says: Suddenly, there was a shadow over the young tuskarr. A huge bakar stood protectively above him, spines stuck from its back and blood pooling around its paws.
Elder Poa says: The crystalspine shot again, and spines stuck once more in the bakar's hide! With a roar, the bakar turned and offed the crystalspine in a single bite.
Elder Poa says: The slyvern dove! The bakar leaped in its way, and as they tumbled, the spines stuck in the bakar's back pierced the sylvern, killing it.
Elder Poa says: The bakar trembled in pain, but stood victorious. The young tuskarr cried out in gratitude, and vowed to nurse the bakar back to health, though the spines could never be removed.
Elder Poa says: Forevermore, the bakar were the most beloved companions of the tuskarr of Imbu.
Mattyiuk
Elder Poa says: Mattyiuk, one of the First People, liked fishing a great deal but did not like riding the waves in a hide boat. The frame was solid and the skins flexible, but he just got so wet!
Elder Poa says: Mattyiuk watched how others fished. The flying creatures dove from high above and snatched their meal. But that would not do, he could not fly!
Elder Poa says: The swimming creatures chased each other, the larger eating the smaller. But that would not do, he would be wet all the time.
Elder Poa says: But some creatures floated and did not seek fish. Mattyiuk thought that would do very well, indeed.
Elder Poa says: So now, we keep our friends the giant sea turtles on the surface with a steering carrot on a stick! They are content, and we do not get wet when we travel the waves!
The Tentacle Monster
Elder Poa says: There once was a beast known as Sikrar, made of tentacles and teeth and all things wretched. It hunted our fishermen relentlessly, dragging boats with a single, silent strike.
Elder Poa says: One day, the great harpooner Rulaq set out with his crew to finally put an end to the beast. For years, they sailed the bitter cold, tracking the monster.
Elder Poa says: When it finally appeared, they threw all they had at it! Nets, harpoons, spears--and they struck true!
Elder Poa says: But Sikrar was not felled! It roared in fury and PULLED! The lines went taught, and threatened to capsize the boat!
Elder Poa says: In a flash, Rulaq cut the lines, saving his crew. But the crew looked to him, aghast! "Now it shall escape, and continue to kill our families!"
Elder Poa says: Rulaq shook his head. "It is more important that you can return to your families at all. For look-"
Elder Poa says: He gestured to the waters. Within a moment, Sikrar emerged, belly up, bleeding from harpoon and spear. The creature was dead.
Elder Poa says: The crew was awed by Rulaq's wisdom. For he had the eye to see the beast was dead, and the speed to save his people. "Even if it weren't dead," continued Rulaq, "have patience. There will be more chances to strike a beast down. But not always the to return home to share the kill with your family."
The Dragon with the Tuskarr Visage Form
Elder Poa says: A very, very long time ago, there was a young, adventurous tuskarr named Hanuuqa. Often she would leave on long journeys to hunt or trade.
Elder Poa says: "Take me with you!" Asked herr potential mates of the tribe. But Hanuuqa turned them all away, for none looked strong enough to carry their own weight.
Elder Poa says: Hanuuqa visited the land of the centaurs, where she met a strapping young scout. "Take me with you!" Begged the scout. But Hanuuqa shook her head. He was still too tied to his hime--the wind in the grass, the breeze through the trees.
Elder Poa says: Hanuuqa played in the ocean with a friendly ottuk. "Take me with you!" Said the ottuk. But Hanuuqa know she was too young, and still needed the love of her mother.
Elder Poa says: One day, Hanuuqa met another young tuskarr traveling alone. She had the most beautiful blue eyes, which gittered like the ocean!
Elder Poa says: The two travelled together from one end of the isles to the other, both insisting they were heading the same way to their own accord, yet taking great pleasure in each other's company.
Elder Poa says: Then one day, the sky grew dark with the wings of dragons."I am sorry," said the stranger sadly. "I must go. We are called." And in a flash of cerulean, the stranger transformed. Tusks grew to fangs, hands to claws, and skin to bright blue scales!
Elder Poa says: Hanuuqa stared... and then reached out a hand to place it gently on the dragon's shining scales. "Take me with you." She whispered.
Elder Poa says: The stranger smiled, and the two were never seen on the Dragon Isles again.
