Uscerre (Oo-SAIR)
The Uscerre are an ethnic group indigenous to the Uscerre Shelf in the north of Ustraria and (partly) the northeast corner of Kiva. They are hunter-trappers that occupy the sparse forests there and are notably territorial, even in modern times and even to fellow Ustrarians.

Common Customs, traditions and rituals
There has historically been an unsteady relationship between the Qalir and their predecessors, who often went to the Shelf in search of valsar to tame. Usually the Uscerre gave their blessing, but in times of conflict when the loss of valsar life was too great -- or if they detected that conditions for the warbears were lacking -- this blessing was often withdrawn; sometimes, in this instance, the bears were taken from Uscerre land against the wishes of the Uscerre. Prior to the War of the Six this relationship was soured, meaning the Qalir had to rely on their own bears that had been bred or acquired already or bred since -- considered of weaker constitution, if they were even old enough to serve -- but there were a handful of individual exceptions who were given leave to track and tame Uscerre bears, including Phidene Eburos and Stormbane.
