Revelation Online - Meet the Ursids!
The Ursids are a hardy race that serve as stewards of the mountainous forests of eastern Ausgyth. Their honesty is known throughout the land--as is their fondness for honey and other delicacies. Unlike the finicky humans to the south, the Ursids are highly adaptive to the environment, and are accustomed to weathering hardship.
The Ursids inhabit dense mountain forests, where they live in harmony with the spirits and other beings.
Unlike the humans at the forest’s edge, the Ursids live ascetically, taking only what they need and nothing more. Whether they are busy catching fish or coppicing hardwoods, the Ursids never forget their sylvan provenance.

With a trade boom came profiteers, goblin traffickers and other unscrupulous types that sought to exploit the Ursids’ simple way of life, to the detriment of the Ursid clans. Some dangled promises of unlimited honey and other luxuries to lure swathes of Ursids to human settlements, only to serve as laborers, virtually slaves. This has thinned the native Ursid population; coupled with growing tensions with the Wingar rival tribe, the more far-sighted among the bear tribes are beginning to speak out on these injustices.
