He works to try and find new listener forms, being one of the soldiers to paint in the [[Hall of Art]] in an attempt to attract creationspren.{{book ref|sa2|i|1}} He later adopts [[Regal#stormform|stormform]].{{book ref|sa2|i|11}}
==Attributes and Abilities==
 
Varanis seems to be one of Eshonai's most trusted lieutenants. He is a disciplined, loyal soldier who typically wears [[warform]].{{book ref|sa2|i|1}} After the coming of the [[Everstorm]], he was one of the listeners selected by Eshonai to wear [[stormform]].{{book ref|sa2|i|11}}

[[Rlain]] mourned the loss of Varanis, [[Eshonai]], [[Thude]] and the other [[Parshendi]].{{book ref|sa3|55}}
==History==
 
Near the end of the War of Reckoning, Varanis was one of the soldiers tasked with creating paintings at the [[Hall of Art]] in [[Stormseat]] in an attempt to attract [[creationspren]] and perhaps learn how to take [[artform]]. Eshonai chuckled at his game attempts to paint flowers while wearing [[warform]].{{book ref|sa2|i|1}}
 
 
After the coming of the Everstorm and Eshonai's transformation into stormform, she selected a very limited group of listeners to transform in the next storm, including [[Venli]], other scholars, and two hundred low-level soldiers. She intentionally excluded officers and soldiers from her own division, who might have questioned her. However, Varanis was among the listeners that were scheduled for transformation in the next Everstorm. When [[Thude]] and a group of dissenters (including [[Jaxlim]]) fled into the chasms, Varanis reported their escape to Eshonai, angering her.{{book ref|sa2|i|11}}
 
 
Varanis presumably took on stormform alongside thousands of other listeners prior to the [[Battle of Narak]] and participated in the battle. [[Rlain]] was acquainted with Varanis and later mourned losing him along with Eshonai, Thude, and the other residents of Narak.{{book ref|sa3|55}}
