Homebrew Bjorn Species Details

The Bjorn are a nomadic people who live in the Frigid North. They are a humanoid bear people who worship a small pantheon of gods. The Bjorn culture centers on the quest for honor and glory in both life and death. An honorable death is the greatest dream of a Bjorn. The bearfolk see themselves as eternal outsiders and invaders, even when they conquer and rule another people; they feel no kinship with them.

The Bjorn have a reputation of being fierce and proud warriors. They respect the land and her creatures never wasting any part of a kill or a plant but are comfortable applauding violence as a daily occurrence. They do not have a king and will never bow to such a thing. They are the unconquerable and the undefeated.
