Njullávarri is a remote mountain, not visible from any permanent settlements and with no permanent roadways passing through the sweeping Eresleahki valley beneath its southern slopes. Even so, it is an important landmark for the Varddic people, with ancient mythological associations. It was once known as Nápi Máilmmi, meaning "world's navel," in Varddic folklore, as it lay close to the centre of their nomadic range. In the late medieval period, Shale Pass to the north became fixed as the southern frontier of the Caledonian kingdom, with the Battle of the Bear's Cave in 1412 marking an end to Caledonia's efforts to subjugate the territory and its people.
