Armand Garand

Creator Armand Garand was a prolific Vergar who lived from 3405-4120 CE.  He was born in the Southern Peninsula in the regional capital of Valor Mountain and lived most of his life in the region, although he was shuffled around by the guild leaders of the cities in the region due to their own petty squabbles. He died in his sleep in 4120, and many of his journals remain untranslated from is own personal script. 
Some people suspect he was assassinated for disagreeing with the order of Vergar society in general as well as The Order in particular. His views on politics, philosophy, and religion spread beyond the Vergar.
