It is whispered that Kohemet once spent years lost at the heart of the Southern Desert, the Sun's Anvil where even the Juni do not go. Then with fearful glances some claim that he found something there or indeed that something found him. At this point silence usually descends upon the speakers, but it is known that Kohemet walked out of the desert then and that the Juni fear him as much as the Bodai do...

The city-state of Volg is a large sprawl amidst the rocky northern highlands of Aleasana, often the first to be attacked whenever Northerner barbarians come down for raids in the autumn. Volg is ruled by margrave Olshek Travain, a stoic but battle-hardened man, who has maintained the original title his family line has held in the Northmark of Volg, back in the days of the old kingdom. This city-state is slightly unusual for its population of Duergar, who make up roughly a third of the populus. They are accorded fair treatment and representation in the Northmark, and a Duergar burgrave holds hereditary command of the northmost castle Kurtsburg.

Now we're talking! 
Among the northern barbarians, youngsters of marriageable age are sent out - sometimes naked - to survive on their own wits, and brave the high passes to trek to neighboring tribes. Their status in the tribe receiving them will be determined by how far they have traveled, and their harrowing stories of survival told around the campfire (under the baleful eye of the local cleric and a Zone of Truth, if need be). The resulting network of intermarriages cements the northern barbarians more than any other people in Aleasana, although their geographical fragmentation keeps them from forming a united front.
