Description (Specifications)[edit]
The Urzaeng are a distinct Vargr subspecies, and their culture has a foundation in their unique physiology and mentality.

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.
