Homebrew Anubian Species Details

Anubians are a race of jackal-headed humanoids common to deserts. 

As a society they are often xenophobic and mostly nomadic. Their communities roam in large ranges of desert, normally centered around a site where a great battle took place. Anubian Shamans believe they must shepherd the souls of all who died in the battle through their eternal afterlife. The shamans, and therefore most of the tribe, gather at the battlefield at least once a year.
