Ovaghoun: Language and cultural region in the
Vargr Extents. Includes the trailing
quarter of Provence, Windhorn, and Meshan. These were rich Imperial
regions
taken over by the Vargr during the Vargr
Pillaging
(-2400 to -1700). While the region is predominantly Vargr, the sparse Vilani
population was not significantly displaced. The original Vargr
immigrants
were pressed into the surrounding areas, and to this day still tend to
collect in densely populated fringe communities, with the human
populations living at the center of the older, larger communities.
Human presence and involvement have done much to
stabilize
the political environment. In fact, the Vargr have adopted much of the
Vilani culture into their own, sometimes taking on patterns very
familiar
to Imperials.
At the same time, however, the Vargr often resent
having
to live "in the humans' shadow". The ownership of companies, land, and
oftentimes political positions frequently reside disproportionately in
the hands of humans. -cul
