So I’ve been trying to find where the new Ursine are described in the universe page, but I’ve gotten no luck. From what I remember, Ursine are no longer their own race, but the transformed worshippers of Volibear, twisted fusions of man and bear.
Is this true or am I wrong with new Volibear?
No proof of this. But if I had to guess. Ursine are Volibear’s once human servants turned monstrous to fight in the early wars against the Watchers. Now, like their god, their ferocity has no other outlit and they roam the mountains for a new cause or at least bloodshed to satisfy them.
Perhaps one human has potential to gather the ursine under a banner they can follow. One of strength and aggression. A banner of a Winter’s Claw.
Of course, all that is made up bull.
It makes me sad that they changed the Ursine. They used to be something majestic and fierce but now they're just bloodthirsty abominations twisted by Volibear.
IMO it was a really lame story choice and I hope that the Lore team ret-cons it to make them more interesting. It might be really cool to have them be your stereotypical glory seeking tough people from the cold regions, like Olaf, the Vikings, or the Norse. There was no need to make them all monstrosities.
what's the difference between an Ursine and a regular wild bear in the forest that is hunted for skin, food, fur?
I thought the Ursine were Vastaya?
