General V.R. Ẍusyk, placed in command of the mountain campaign, looked to the local indigenous communities for help, and forged a series of alliances with the hill tribes to coöperate against Varshan. Kiravia provided humanitarian and medical assistance to hill communities and armed tribal militia who were loaned out as auxilliary units. The Army also recruited volunteers to serve as scouts, guides, interpreters, and commandos, embedded in Kiravian regular units. The hill tribesmen (and -womxn) serving with the Kiravian forces took on the moniker "Hailstorm Warriors", in homage to the worship of hail deities common among the hill tribes and suppressed by Arzalist Varshan. This coöperation dramatically improved the mobility of Kiravian troops through the mountains and the reliability of supply chains, and increased the success rate of strikes on Varshani positions. | General V.R.

It also put the Varshani expeditionary force in Telonaticolan at risk of being cut off. | ||
[Eventually Kiravians and Hailstorm Warriors push through the two passes, after which the Varshani defence begins to fall apart, The End.] Kiravian military sources have unanimously credited the Hailstorm Warriors and support from native civilian populations for the success of the Mountains of Terror Campaign and, by extension, for victory on the Eastern Front of the war. | [Eventually Kiravians and Hailstorm Warriors push through the two passes, after which the Varshani defence begins to fall apart, The End.] Kiravian military sources have unanimously credited the Hailstorm Warriors and support from native civilian populations for the success of the Mountains of Terror Campaign and, by extension, for victory on the Eastern Front of the war. | ||

Varshani remains the most widely spoken language in the country. It is spoken natively by the ethnic Varshani population and many (though not all) non-Varshani former slaves, but is spoken as a second language with at least a moderate level of competency by a large share of the former [native]* population. | Varshani remains the most widely spoken language in the country.

The religious demography of Upper Atrassic Crona is difficult to gauge and has yet to be comprehensively surveyed. It is generally accepted that a plurality of the population adheres to some form or another of [[Arzalism]], with most of the rest adhering to [[M'acunism]] or to highland tribal religions, though the boundaries between these three traditions are not clear-cut and overlap is believed to be considerable.

The tribal societies of Upper Atrassic Crona operate a traditional subsistence economy attuned to the particular conditions of local ecosystems. Although archæological evidence and oral traditions attest to the native peoples having developed more complex and stratified economic systems in the past, it appears that centuries of Varshani subjugation destroyed and have hirtherto prevented the reëmergence of proto-cities and long-distance commerce. | The tribal societies of Upper Atrassic Crona operate a traditional subsistence economy attuned to the particular conditions of local ecosystems. Although archæological evidence and oral traditions attest to the native peoples having developed more complex and stratified economic systems in the past, it appears that centuries of Varshani subjugation destroyed and have hirtherto prevented the reëmergence of proto-cities and long-distance commerce. Geographic challenges, the legacy of Varshani oppression, and the destruction wrought during the war have combined to make the economy of Upper Atrassic Crona {{wp|Least developed countries|one of the least developed in the world}}. | ||
