King Vrarmuk is the second king of Kremshak. He became king in the power struggle that arose immediately after the lodge was built. Vrarmuk's predecessor had successfully led the tribe through the turmoil of the swarming and the capture of a princess, but underestimated the internal conflicts that came when the tribe's position seemed secure. Vrarmuk is a fierce fighter, but prefers to send others into danger ever since an encounter with a human yeoman gave him his two scars that are the reason for his nickname. Vrarmuk is not particularly bright but sly. He prepares raids on the human settlements in the west and plans to attack trapper's camps as well. He knows that humans are dangerous, but has not considered that his actions might provoke a full scale attack on Kremshak. Otherwise he would wait until his colony is stronger.
