The Vargath of the Esten mountain range are a proud species who value and honor and martial skill about all else. Most other intelligent species in their region have dealt with them for the goatfolk make gruff but honest trading partners. The Mountain Vargath have much need of trade, for their flourishing society has outgrown what fertile ground it possesses in the cold heights of the rocks. Their neighbors appreciated their presence for centuries, since the Vargath ensured no armies could march through the mountains and its two notable passes without being noticed.
The Summoner Wars have thrown Mountain Vargath society into some disarray, its citizens panicked over raiding bands in their cities and villages that pop up out of nowhere, only to vanish soon after. Sunderved, former general of the Estern Defense Army, has resigned his position and taken the summoning stone with him. He hopes to draw off those who assail his people while he strives to find a path toward peace.
