The '''Vertani''' are an aristocratic race of foreign giants who in the year 379 AF opened a portal to [[Sapience]] and entered as visitors to our world. | The '''Vertani''' are an aristocratic race of foreign giants hailing from the land of [[Vertan]] who, in the year 379 AF, opened a portal to [[Sapience]] and entered as visitors to our world. Curious about [[Sapience]] and somewhat evangelical in their religion, culture and morals, the Vertani went about learning as much as possible about our culture while preaching their own. While most met the Vertani with civility, some immediately attempted to slay them – the first Vertani death was caused by the occultist '''Rocktamer'''. | ||
After the events encompassing the [[Vertani War]], the majority of Vertani in Sapience had been slain in battle, including several leaders. A small faction of survivors, led by Commander [[Daqsool]], remained as guests of [[Shallam]] for some period. The remaining Vertani have built their own settlement within the [[Dakhota Hills]] and have christened it [[Tir Murann]]. | |||
Notable Vertani leaders include: | |||
*Overlord [[Estan]] | |||
*Overlord [[Drafaris]], successor to Estan | |||
*Overlord [[Mournria]], successor to Drafaris | |||
*Diplomat [[Hingar]] | |||
*General [[Luftyr]] | |||
*General [[Kadran]] | |||
