Though nearly all of Strand's inhabitants were humans and it was a part of the kingdom of men, it also paid tribute to the Varl King as part of an alliance agreement that mandated taxes in return for the varls maintaining the northern strongholds, that protected both races from the dredge. The residents initially faced difficulty in living in the area due to its harsh climate, but it eventually developed into a city due to the trade, fishery and lumbering under the grandfather of the current Governor of Strand, becoming the largest of the trade cities on the border between the kingdoms of humans and varls. Strand was established as a small fishing village and existed around the time of the Death of the Gods. Many people still believe the god Denglr still watches over it, granting good fortune. As close as anything comes to a bastion of racial tolerance, both men and varl compete to scratch out a living in this, the biggest trade city along the west coast.
