Urzaeng: Language and cultural region in the Vargr
Extents. Includes Fa Dzaets and Gzaekfueg, and reaches into Meshan.
This region halos the coreward
end of the
Windhorn Rift. This region came into being when Vargr
rounded the rift during the Vargr Pillaging (-2400 to -1700). Expansion
of the Urzaeng into the Imperial territories was not as deep because of
the wars with the Second Empire
of Gashikan.
The Urzaeng have a propensity for violence and a
disdain
for weakness. Runts, elderly, and chronically ill are usually collected
into separate communities. Someone with a temporary illness is wise to
seclude himself from the public until he recovers.
Urzaeng are also known for being very territorial
and
protective of their space. Their trading ships are particularly wide
ranging
and are marked for their spaciousness: double occupancy staterooms are
almost unheard of. -cul
