In the southern corner of the Ungarmuk Peaks, Valangrim sits astride the Umgaril river where it leaves the subterranean realm for the surface. Made to stop raids coming from the dark reaches beyond, after bringing security to the area, Valangrim became a key trade center between the surface and the lands below. These trade routes begin in the caverns of Sidari-Nyx and down past the gears and canals of the Akalgas Wheel.
Strengthened from a series of wars with the Khazarkar Empire, Valangrim is an imposing bastion. In the Second Ugradrath War(1517 - 1523), sacked, Valangrim remained a hold of the Khazarkar until war's end.
