Tektuk: Upon this peak I name you my son, that which I could not do before my exile. Signak, chieftain of my werak, thought your blood was his, but the truth was clear as the color of the sky, painted in your eyes, and mine. As I wander alone in this foreign land, it is not Signak’s death that wounds me, nor the memory of Ili your mother, nor even the loss of snow-sheathed Ban-Ur my home – but instead the silence that lay between us, who should have been father and son. I paint my mark here for you, and leave you this offering, though it will never touch the warmth of your hands.

• Found in Devil’s Thirst. At the base of the mountain, climb and follow the paintings to get to the figure.

Tektuk: As the months of my exile turn to years, I have thought long on what kept me from claiming you. Such a call could only be settled in blood – by the death of Signak our chieftain, or my own. It is true I feared this battle, and his strength. But not as much as I feared its aftermath: the eyes of Ili your mother, distant and dead, as they beheld the corpse of her mate. This I could not bear, and so I remained silent, ashamed. But fate is cold and cruel, and my fears came to pass despite me. I paint this mark in sorrow, and leave you this offering, though it will never touch the warmth of your hands.

• Found near Hunter’s Gathering. Climb the pole in the northwestern part of the village, and keep climbing up until you can’t anymore. You will end near the figure.

Tektuk: In my exile I often envision your eyes, wide and blue and dumbstruck, as the body of Signak our chieftain was laid before you. The werak saw how I looked at his mate, Ili your mother. To them, my guilt was as plain and sharp as the crack of spring ice. As they stripped me bare and left me to die on the glacier, the warmth of life departed me, but not the bitter will to hunt, to strive, to survive – perhaps to prove I needed no one, least of all those who wronged me. I am only at peace when I paint my marks and craft these offerings to you, though they will never touch the warmth of your hands.

• Found east of the Banuk Encampment. Head towards the southern portion of the area, and on the mountains, you can find some paintings. Continue climbing up until you can’t, and you will end near the figure.

Tektuk: There is much I would confess to you, but one thing I cannot. I did not kill Signak our chieftain, who claimed to be your father. That night I was alone in my tent, drunk with cold wine, dreaming as I always did, of Ili your mother and her sunset smile. You will never hear my testament, and my offering will never touch the warmth of your hands. But I paint my mark in the light of truth. I know what I am guilty of, and what I am not. I hope against hope that in your heart, you know the same.

• Found west of Meridian. Go to the campfire in the area, and continue towards Banuk, but do not descend. You will find a rope, and following that, you will reach the figure.

Tektuk: Falsely accused, exiled, starving and cold, I faltered – this I confess. As the death-chills overcame me, I lost will and purpose, and felt the bottomless callousness of fate. But then, a vision: I saw in my mind’s eye and endless white plain, with only a single figure, waiting. It was you. And I knew, in death if not in life, I would see you again. When the chills faded, I rose with new hope. I paint my mark here for you, in anticipation of our meeting, and leave you this offering, though it will never touch the warmth of your hands.

• Found south of Sunfall. In the rocky area, climb the nearby wall, and jump to the stone pillar. Climbing that, continue finding a path upwards, and you will reach the figure.

Tektuk: It is only because you will never read these glyphs that I can write them. After a lifetime of longing, I spent only a single night with Ili your mother, a memory that I cherished but she reviled, a burning coal of guilt she carried in her belly. And so I wonder: Was her guilt laid bare the night Signak our chieftain was killed? Did he discover the truth? Was she forced to defend herself? If only I had been there, to stand between them, to actually strike the blow I was punished for. At least then I would have been her champion, and the father you deserved, for a single moment. I paint this mark with eternal regret, and leave you this offering, though it will never touch the warmth of your hands.

• Found south of Pitchcliff. At the base of the cliff, you will find a painting. Start climbing at this painting, and make your way up and to the right, and the figure will be found there.
