Varns also known as jackals, are a relatively intelligent cross between humans and wolves[1] that prefer desert terrain. They originate in the Dra'kar Desert.[2] They were supposedly created by the White Dragon to steal dragon eggs. They regularly lay sulfur crystals on an altar in the desert to summon the White Dragon and line the pathway to their altar with the heads of Groms.[3]
Varns walk upright, bear fangs and, have a wolf's head. They can tear off quite a chunk of their opponent’s flesh and are known to consume human meat. Individual clans often have Shamans who possess powerful spells. Weapons and armor are part of the Varns standard equipment –and this, combined with their intelligence and sheer animal strength lead to them being some formidable foes.[4]

Trivia
- Varm Shamans like to call themselves "The Wolf's Heart". This is because the central organs of the body emit high mana values.[5]
