Varg

The Varg are a formidable race of powerful canids found primarily in the mountain ranges of the west central regions of Athalion. They are a militaristic society, in a nearly endless conflict with the monstrous races that surround them. They value function over form in all things, and observe a strict clan hierarchy that enforces discipline and obedience. In group interactions, Varg always seek the most experienced and qualified members to lead.
