Bear Warriors

Birnir Rekkar (Bear Warriors)

Berserkers. Bear-men. Savages. There are a number of epithets to define the folks from the mountains of Norrvegr and they all describe their lifestyle pretty accurately. The Bear Warriors don’t talk much. They are practical, spontaneous and tend solve every problem with brute strength. Almost nobody can stop them once they commit. A true Bear Warrior will never pass a chance to show his or her strength and will always be at the forefront against any opponent. The Bears tend to wear heavy furs – usually bears’ or from other mountain animals – and wield heavy weapons to maximize their strength advantage with devastating effects. Those who are skilled in magic wears totems upon totems, made of bone, wood or any other material avaible on the top of their mountains. An ancient motto of the lands of the North says: “It’s not important to be friend with a Bear, what’s important is that the Bear is on your side of the shield wall”.

Relationships with Other Clans

Gjallarhorn

These people with fancy clothes are great warriors, but none of Mountain-folk have seen one of them in a very long time. It’s possible that the Great Winter killed them all. They should have worn thicker clothes.

Icy Crows

The Crows are considered wise and welcome. They know the tales of Odhinn and the other Gods. They can figure who is right without resorting to a battleaxe. Unfortunately many of them are weak and haven’t survived this winter season that grows ever stronger. They died of cold or they were offered as sacrifices to quench the craving for blood of the Mountain. Some of them decided to become a voluntary sacrifice, they climbed to the top of the Mountain to beg for an audience, but never returned.

Jötunn Sons

The folks of the swamp talk too much and they words are empty. It’s better to shut their mouths before they utter a curse.

Odhinn’s Eye

The people of the great hall and ships were always kind with the Bears and allowed them to cross the sea. This doesn’t mean that the Bears are ready to kneel and kiss their boots or follow their orders: if the people of the great hall push their luck too far the Bear will show them the fury of the Mountain.

Wolves of the Shadow

The Wolves are trustworthy warriors, they are not as powerful as the Bears, but they show honor on the Guàrdinjandr, Cheftain of the Cursed Bears battlefield. This is the greatest praise a Bear can offer.
