Varg

Description: Standing half the height of a Man, the Varg picks a bit of gristle from his pointed front teeth with a sharpened fingernail. He has mottled green skin.

Culture: Varg are a swamp-dwelling folk, dwarfish and cannibalistic (but not every tribe need be). They live in tribes in the swamp not far from the road to Shadizar from Corinthia (but this does not mean they are not found in other parts of Thurian). They have a green tinted skin pigmentation and file their teeth down to points. They prey on the giant Jatte sometimes. Chieftainship of the Varg is determined by rite of challenge. They called anyone living out side the swamp as “Outswampers.” They are polygamous. As for their diet. Vargs prefer Jatte flesh but will accept outswamper flesh also. When such prey is lacking, they eat swamp pigs and rodents. They relax in cold soaking pools in the swamp. Their Jatte enemies consider them little more than animals.

Names: Unknown.

Religion: Unknown, probably natural in orientation, ancestor worships with skulls and bones littering their hovels. Animal worship, dressing in animal skins and furs and dancing wilding in the moon-light. Jhebbal Sag could be called on also.
