History
The Vrn Clan have lived in the south west of Nemawar for at least 2,600 years. Legend has it that Jelbania's celebrated Khan and folk hero Grzkai One Eye was a natural son of a Vrn clan Bek(Chief). The Vrns ruled the south west as petty kings until they were subjugated around 617 by Grzkai 'One Eye'

Upon the triumph of Grzkai I, the Vrn, hitherto six sub clans was merged into one of the largest Jelbe clans over the coming decades. The noble clan was noted for its pride and steadfast loyalty and the Khjans of the line of Grzkai often wed Vrn brides. This gave the Vrns much influence and for a brief period (786-88) the Vrn warlord Jlekai 'the devil' usurped the throne and reigned as a Khan.

Fiercely nationalist, the Vrn often led rebellions against the Tokunian Empire and the {{Ahmadi Caliphate]] During one notable period (1217-36) yet another Vrn Grzkai XX 'Hawkeye' led a successful revolt and ruled as Khan  The Vrns converted to Ahmadism in the late 14th century although they remain even today largely syncretic in their religious practices.

In the anarchy that followed the collapse of the Ahmadi Caliphate, the Vrns independent once again became petty Khans although the imperious clan tried with success at times, to impose its rule on other clans. At the height of the petty Khanate, the Vrns ruled most of the wesatern half of modern Jelbania but more often than not fought each other fiercely. The coming of the Jelbaniens in the 19th century saw the Vrn attempting to lead the resistance to the colonisation efforts of the invaders but lacking modern weapons, they were defeated swiftly and subdued by the close of that century.

Thus began the 'great sl;eep' where the influence of the Jelbek majority disappeared, briefly resurfacing in the 27th century and disappearing until the close of the 36th century. In 3583 prominent Vrn nobleman Mrjkai Jlekaisrmko Vrn was elected President-Atabek of Jelbania. He diverted largesse towards his clan, exalting above all except perhaps the Jeztris. rivalry between the two great clans ended with the Corpse War of 3600 where the Jeztris were defeated and subfued. Under the leadership of Bek Shlajkai Genzisrmko Vrn, the Vrns became the most powerful clan and after his crowning as Khan of a restored Khanate, they became the 'royal family'.
