Brundar

The Brundar are an intelligent race of Hunterborn native to many regions of Galimma. They resemble tall humanoid bears, standing on two sturdy legs and having long arms that end with thick claws attached to dexterous fingers. Brundar are heavily built, often possessing thick layers of muscle, fat, and fur. Though tall and imposing, and more than capable of fighting off aggressors, most Brundar are very social creatures with a preference to food and relaxation over violence and solitude.

Origins and Myth
The Brundar are storied to have emerged into sapience much in the same way other races had, having been elevated by the life-spirit of Galimma itself.

Brunholds
Brundar group themselves into large settlements called Brunholds, which consist of large communal mountaintop forts and the surrounding countryside. The forts serve as the focal point for Brunholds, where during winter the local population shares as a home until springtime. Summer and autumn are spent outside the fort foraging, farming, hunting, and preparing supplies for the hibernation period. Though built with Brundar in mind, most are happy to share their hold with well-mannered guests and travelers. Winter-bound caravans, though few in number, are particularly welcomed with supplies from far off locales.

The Great Brunholds include:
 * Hillhold, of Central Pastoro
 * Slouching Peak Hold, of Western Pastoro
 * Snowback Ridge Hold, of Southern Pastoro
 * Fishing Mountain Hold, of the Rocky Fjords
 * Hearthmountain Hold, of the Rocky Fjords
 * Burrowhold, of the Karthewood
 * The Twinridge Holds, of the Westerly Woods
 * Kue-Ten the Greathold, of Earthrym
