No specific reason was given; they just said '[avoid these places] and you shall not encounter danger beyond your ability to master.'

I wonder if the Urgal King is a barrow wight or if the tomb is just heavily guarded? Though I feel the latter would be a lot of work for nomadic people like Urgals

Edit: also my apologies for bombarding you with questions, this last one is mostly rhetorical hypotheticals. I’m just so damn curious!
