Chapter 67: The History of the Utgard Tribe
The Utgard tribe, emerging from the depths of the Central Steppe, carries with it a legacy of strife and aspiration.
Within the vast expanse of the Great Steppe, the Central Great Steppe, the land which is in the centre of the Great Steppe is a coveted land fiercely contested by neighbouring tribes, the allure of its fertile territories’ beckons like a siren’s song.
It is here that the tribes of the Western Steppe, the Eastern Steppe, the Northern Steppe, and even the Southern Steppe converge, each vying for a stake in the bountiful lands that lie at the heart of the Central Steppe.
At the epicentre of this sprawling domain lies the Empatarah River, a lifeline that courses through the very heart of the Central Steppe.
The Empatarah River which means Four Direction river.
This majestic river, shaped like a grand sphere, acts as the lifeblood connecting the northern and southern rivers, while simultaneously branching out to the east and west.
Its significance to the tribes of the Great Steppe cannot be overstated, for it sustains life, bestows fertility upon the soil, and ensures prosperity for those fortunate enough to claim its shores.
Legend speaks of an age long past, an era suffused with the mystic arts, where a wizard of immense power graced the Central Steppe.
Before departing, this mysterious sorcerer conjured forth the Empatarah River, its waters stretching in all four cardinal directions, forever etching its mark upon the land. The river became a testament to the wizard’s unfathomable magic, an enduring symbol of unity amidst the vast expanse of the Great Steppe.
It is the same with the Flat Hills that extended from West to East which is also said to be made by the ancient magic of old
It is amidst this tapestry of grandeur and ancient legends that the Utgard tribe finds its place.
