Tulok is a minor character in the fanon Avatar: The Legacy of Rong Yan and was the crown prince of the Northern Water Tribe, as of 655 BG he was crowned the chief while his father abdicated the throne.
History[]
Prince Tulok was born 680 BG, to Chief Cupun and Cupun's wife who died in childbirth after giving birth to Tulok. Since the birth of Tanaraq, Cupun, Unirak, and Amka arranged the birth of both royal children to be wed when they come of age.
For many years, Tulok and Tanaraq would visit each other as children with their parents on political visits. At the ages of 16, they began exchanging letters that sparked into their relationship. For four years, the arrangement was done in 657 BG, Unirak asked Rong Yan to escort Tanaraq to the Northern Water Tribe.
In return, Tanaraq would teach the Avatar the basics to waterbending while he escorted her there where he'd meet his master, Naartok. A few months of travel they arrived in the North Pole, then Tulok's cousin was assassinated by a Qiangda Kingdom assassin.
Investigation and Burial[]
When Amak's body was found and the investigation deemed it to be an assassination, Cupun anointed Noa in charge of what happens next. The unrest occurred in Cupun's palace an hour later, Ambassador Dashi was accused of espionage and arrested despite having diplomatic immunity. Elder Noa and the other nobles agreed to debate on what occurs next in his estate. He even went as far as to threaten Ambassador Thod and Avatar Rong Yan with arrest.
The next morning while Cupun and Tulok were in a meeting with the Court of Elders. Sokka and the other guards found Amak's body after a woman discovered it in the alley. The investigations done by the other guards after Sokka left suspected that white jade poison was used.
The test consisted of a droplet of white jade poison mixing with a drop of blood if it coagulated then it was the poison the man suspected. Sokka had run to Elder Noa's estate to find Cupun and Tulok and give them the grim news.
The royal guards found the planted evidence the dagger of Qianda Kingdom design, the passports and the scroll with the forged signature of Earth King Qiang Zhen.
When Sokka arrived to the meeting he disrupted it to speak with the chief and the prince. After he gave the news it sparked outrage and panic amongst the elders. Which led to events that Cupun and Tulok were unaware of while they arranged the burial of their fallen relative.
Ashuna and her temple workers received the body from the guards who carried it there, she investigated the body where she called an old friend of hers. An alchemist that specialized in poisons named Mamittuk. Mamittuk identified the poison with the same method that the royal guard used as a white jade plant.
When Cupun and his family were escorted to the prayer room, Yakone one of the young seers gave Cupun a vision. Yakone became the medium for Torngark and La who warned Cupun of treachery within the tribe and a war with the Qiangda Kingdom. Cupun accepted the prediction from the future but forgot about it when it came to the burial of his nephew and the wedding of his son.
When the family arrived she performed all the needed rituals to prepare the body for burial and the soul toward the afterlife. After the rituals were done the body was buried in a cavern near the spirit forest above the city of Aupaluk. Where every royal was buried even to the very first chief himself.
