Bytu

Bytu was the first Tulkon. He was born in Ilois, Iloisa Empire, in 40 BT.

As a child in 30 BT, Bytu was part of a group of Iloisa Humans who attempted to settle the Frozen Continent. The expedition failed, yet Bytu fell in love with the landscape and would continue to visit, traveling the frozen wasteland a total of five times. During his final trip, Bytu was given the Essence of the Tulkon by the Angel Arrkea in what would become the Kepet Region and became the world's first Tulkon, having proven his worth and devotion to the world through his expeditions. Soon after becoming the Tulkon, he discovered the Green Valley, but kept it a secret, believing that the Iloisa Empire should not expand to the area.

He then moved to the Phocachirsk peninsula with a group of Iloisa immigrants, who would become the Phocahn ethnic group. He travelled the world, spreading his knowledge and keeping balance, making the Tulkon a global institution while also interconnecting the various disparate cultures across the planet. He facilitated agreements, treaties, trade, and cultural and intellectual exchange. Many of his travel routes became standard trade routes still in use today, on both land and sea. Bytu died of old age in Phocachirsk in 18 AT, and reincarnated as the Orc Darrokh. In death, he taught Darrokh how to survive in the Frozen Continent using techniques he learned as an explorer, and gave him the location of the Green Valley. Darrokh passed down these techniques to the settlers of the continent.

Bytu is revered as the first Tulkon across the world. Modern Tulkons have been inspired by Bytu's dedication to the world and its peoples, love for exploration and knowledge, and humility. While perception of him is overwhelmingly positive, some cite that some of his actions led directly to the Iloisa Conquest.
