Bjornlydhr[edit]

A bear like species of Humanoid, Brawny and tolerant of harsh conditions.

Personality[edit]

The Bjornlydhr are a gruff an honorable race seeking no more than to achieve an honorable death, and enjoying life until the point where they meet their gods.

Physical Description[edit]

Standing on two legs between Six and Eight feet tall these anthropomorphic bears are a muscular race covered in fur of varying colors based on the geographical climate of their lineage.

Relations[edit]

Bjornlydhr appreciate Dwarves for their honor and appreciation of the mountains and their respect for the resources they hold. They agree with the Halfling sense of community, and believe Gnomes are too energetic and unpredictable. They are annoyed by the elves flighty attitudes, and over elegance. Humans are appreciated by their industriousness, and insightfulness, but are also seen as deceiving and manipulative. They respect Half-orcs the most for their community and togetherness and honor despite being seen as freaks of nature by other races.

Lands & Culture[edit]

There are three main areas of Bjornlydhr culture.

The Northern Tribes: Identifiable by their light colored long fur and differing braids and knot like dyed patterns these tribes reside in mountainous cold environments that drop to freezing temperatures regularly.

The Midland Tribes: Brown like the planes and forests in which they reside these tribes use scarification and metals to adorn their skin and ears. Their settlements are normally built into the forests and often shallow cave systems.

The Southerland Tribes: These short black haired peoples of the tropical and desert areas use scarification and shave patterns in their fur to differentiate between individual tribes. These groups are nomadic and never set in one place too long.

Although these tribes have constant conflict, they all hold honor as the pinnacle of their societies.
