The Varg are a minor Norscan Tribes faction
in Total War: Warhammer and Total War: Warhammer II. They and the Skaeling were
originally the only two Norscan factions on the map without needing to be
Awaken the Tribes by the Warriors of Chaos, until the Foundation Update made
Norsca a playable race and added more minor factions.
Unlike most minor Norscan Tribes that are
on the map at the start of the game, Varg can be ressurected by the Warriors of
Chaos awakening them if they get wiped out. The Skaeling is the only other
faction that can make that claim. In order to be awakened, the Warriors of
Chaos must when a battle against a settlement in the Mountains of Naglfari
after the Varg have been wiped out.
Surtha
Ek
Surtha Ek is a minor lord, the leader of
the Varg. He often recruits many chariots and cavalry units into his army. In
Total War: Warhammer II, the leader of the Tiranoc faction was renamed
"Surthara Bel Kec" in Mortal Empires as a nod to Surtha Ek.
Surtha Ek can also gain the special
character trait "True Chariot Master" by defeating Settra the
Imperishable in battle, which will increase the damage of his Chaos Chariots by
100%. Likewise, Settra can receive the special trait "Surtha Wrecked"
for defeating Surtha Ek, which increases his capacity for Skeleton Chariots by
10 and the armor of all chariots in his army by 10.
If the Varg are wiped out and then brought
back by the Warriors of Chaos awakening them, they will not get Surtha Ek back
but instead be led by a random generic lord.
Trivia
Surtha Ek's mastery of cavalry has made him
a living meme among the game's community, due to the fact that the AI actually
knows how to use them to maximum effect.
