Vafer

One of the intelligent races that live on The Sweeping Plains, the Vafer race resembles a hybrid of a fox and a humanoid. The Vafer believe that knowledge of the past is the most important step in finding peace and understanding in your life. Vafer are naturally curious and will often leave home to explore and discover more secrets that they can record and add to the collection of knowledge that the Vafer have gathered. The other race of The Sweeping Plains, the Amica, is closely related and, according to the Lore Vaults, they share a common ancestor.
