Urzaeng

Urzaeng is a language and cultural region in the Vargr Extents. It includes Fa Dzaets and Gzaekfueg sectors, and reaches into Meshan. This region halos the coreward end of the Windhorn Rift.

Description (Specifications)

The Urzaeng are a distinct Vargr subspecies, and their culture has a foundation in their unique physiology and mentality.

• Urzaeng have a propensity for violence and a disdain for weakness.
• Runts, elderly, and the 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.

Linguistics: Lexicon

• Lluutan: "Ford" (also the name applied to the Last Bridge)
• Rudha: "Lighthouse" (also the name of the star of Dhillourr).

History & Background (Dossier)

This region came into being when Urzaeng Vargr rounded the Windhorn Rift during the Vargr Pillaging (-2400 to -1700), and were subsequently "left behind" when other Vargr moved further trailing and rimward.

• Expansion of the Urzaeng into Imperial territories was not as deep as that of other Vargr, in part because of wars with the Second Empire of Gashikan.
