===History===

It is said that when the world was very young the tribes of the [[Northern Steppes]] were given sacred charge. Somewhere deep within the great [[Mount Arreat|mountain Arreat]], lay a source of great power, crucial to the well-being of all humanity. The tribes acted as guardians of this artefact and this sacred duty has shaped their way of life to observance of this power. They called it their "vigil". They believed that if they failed to uphold their duty to the great mount, or were not given a proper burial upon its slopes, they would be denied a true warrior's death, and their spirits would roam the land without honour for all eternity.
