Relations with Other Races
Contact with the Arânzeni was violent from the start, when they crossed the Bogh Mountains into the Barerte Waste in 300 ME. The Mundari are in conflict with the Arânzeni, both those of the Arânzeni Confederation and the tribes of the Barerte Waste, and defend their territory against them.
