Vargians

Vargians are a fictional species featured in the science fiction novel "The Starless Sea" by Erin Morgenstern. They are described as sentient beings who reside within the vast underground library known as the Harbor. Vargians are not depicted as having a specific physical form, but rather as individuals who embody the spirit and essence of the library itself. Their existence is deeply intertwined with the collection of stories and knowledge housed within the Harbor.

The Vargians are guardians and caretakers of the library, ensuring its preservation and the continuity of its endless narratives. They are depicted as ancient and wise, possessing a profound understanding of the library's history and its secrets. Their purpose is to guide and protect those who find their way into the Harbor, often acting as intermediaries between the physical world and the fantastical realm of stories.

Interactions with Vargians are typically cryptic and symbolic. They communicate through riddles, metaphors, and the subtle manipulation of the library's environment. Their motives are often veiled, and their actions are guided by an understanding of the library's grand design, which is not always apparent to outsiders. They represent a connection to the timeless nature of storytelling and the power of imagination. The Vargians are integral to the magical and mysterious atmosphere of "The Starless Sea," serving as embodiments of the profound and often elusive nature of stories.
