Bearmen of Urslo

The Bearmen of Urslo, also known as Ursfjordings or Tribe of the Bear, is a tribe of Norsca known for raiding and pillaging in were-bear form. The chieftain, Beorg Bearstruck, has led a mercenary band of his people as far down as the Border Princes.

Many of the Bearmen has a mutation that turns them partially to bears at will. To be "Bearstruck", able to turn completly into a bear, is seen as as the ultimate favour of the goods and a mark of lordship. The chieftain rules from the great hall of Urslo.
