Gathargûl, or Throat of Gathargûl, is a rugged vale flanked by the Peaks of Urkthal, capped on the north by a chilling coast and a warm coast roughly 150 miles to the south.
In 1304 DE the valley became the home of four-thousand Tungesti. Having passed through a feywild fuse, a rift between worlds, they left Kriav for the world of Bal-Kriav. Aliens in a wild and untamed vale, they hunted dire elk and primordial beasts. They named the valley, honoring a legendary mountain lion that hunted them for thirty seasons.
On the side of the Covenant in both the Creation War (1486 DE - 8777 DE) and the Demon Spawn War, the valley became a Tungesti crèche, raising youth destined for war.
Gathargûl is home to the oldest shrines to Ares. Built in the God Era, with the Tungesti perhaps his earliest followers, these war shrines are barbaric places, littered with the bones of those that have fallen honorably in battle, and hundreds of tattered banners, pennons, and flags, and heaps of broken war implements.
