Editing Varangur (section)

==Background==
The Varangur are a tribe of humans living near the generically named Ice Mountains of northern Mantica. Way back before Calisor Fenulian fucked everything up, most humans living in this area moved south and became part of Primovantor. Meanwhile these assholes decided to stay way up north in the cold instead of moving on up to the east side to a deluxe apartment in the sky. This hard-headed behavior awakened the interest of an [[Old Ones|ancient god]].

When the [[Celestians (Kings of War)|Celestians]] first arrived on Mantica they set about defeating the terrible things that wreaked havoc across the land. One of these things was an ancient god named Korgaan. Korgaan was worshiped by an ancient race known as the Var'Kyr. The Celestians wiped this race out and sealed Korgaan away, leaving him to slowly perish as his power diminished from lack of worshipers.

Although Korgaan was fading from existence by the time he began influencing the Varangur, he was able to stem this tide and began to recover his [[Not as planned|former power]]. When the Fenulian Mirror was shattered, Korgaan was able to move more rapidly without worry since every other god was busy trying to win the God War. Korgaan began to appear to the Varangur in the shape of three divine beings: the Deceiver, the Reaper, and the Warrior.

Korgaan began to reshape their culture in the image of the Var'Kyr, turning them into [[Vikings]] and shit. The rest of the world didn't seem to notice this as they were embroiled in their own conflicts and Korgaan only seemed interested in having the Varangur run small scale raids into the south. All of this changed when the Winter War broke out.

While the [[Northern Kindred]] and [[Brotherhood]] were busy fighting Winter's minions, the Varangur began launching full scale assaults into their territory and towards the [[Basilea|Golden Horn]]. Realizing that this was a force unaligned with Winter, the High Consul of Primovantor sent a great fleet north to destroy this nuisance once and for all. Unfortunately for them, this fleet was en route when Winter was killed, leading to it being swallowed by the newly formed Infant Sea and, in many ways, ensuring that Primovantor would fall in the chaos that followed.

The Varangur were caught in the seismic upheaval themselves, forcing Korgaan to expend most of his power just to prevent their main settlements from being destroyed. His people now fearful and uncertain for the first time in centuries, Korgaan appeared to the clans and ordered them into Tragar. Pushing past the [[Abyssal Dwarfs]], the Varangur invaded the first circle of the Abyss, shocking both the Shining Ones and the Wicked Ones alike.

In what would become known as "The Reckoning," the Varangur ravaged the outer circle of the Abyss, slaughtering the followers of the Wicked Ones and seizing whatever they could take. It was a defeat worthy of [[Abaddon]] and invigorated the Varangur. Content that his power and influence over the Varangur was no longer in danger, Korgaan [[Grimgor Ironhide|declared victory over the Abyss and promptly left]] back to the north.Which made Varangur look like the Grimgor Ironhide of the setting. Even to this day Varangur still fight and enslave demons quite often. With one of their named characters being a demon hunter. So in sum, Varangur are chaos warriors that fight chaos in the name of a more sane khorne, chich makes them pretty chaotic. 

In the current time of ''Kings of War'' the Varangur have gone back to running smaller raids into the lands south of them. Their current major foe is the Northern Alliance, but their forces are often seen even in places like the [[Forest of Galahir]] and the [[Golloch Empire]].

During the Edge of the Abyss campaign they allied with the forces of nature and good because you know...forces of good are pansies that can't stand up to abyssals mighty armies and Varangur love to dedicate only the blood of the strongest possible enemies to Korgaan, anything less is an insult. They were pretty succesful and important to the victory of the forces of good, but lost their commander in the process, and probably didn't stay for the celebrations, because the distraction was a pretty great time for sacking the undefended villages of anybody who has foolish enough to try to invade the abyss.
