The kin of Bear has settled and inhabited the cold north since long before the the cataclysm and the end of the Gods' wars. It was one of the very first realms to re-form following the cataclysm, alongside the Erstes Imperium and Fading Isles.
Its people are simple and hardy, independent-minded and sharing of a common culture and values which include a peculiar sense of honor and the respect of the ancestors, spirits and Gods commonly favored.
Raiders and merchants, artisans and warriors, poets and sages, there's many trades to be found among the ranks of the free men of Rathgar, and while stereotypes abound, the truth is that they are a more diverse lot than some seem to think.
Blood tends to be valued in the sense of familial obligations, usually related to the ascendancy, but adoption is common and not seen in any way as lesser, and ancestry is hardly seen as reason alone for one to be able to claim worthiness to rule or even lead free warriors in battle. Although, a famous ancestor never hurts one's reputation, and may be cause for greater expectation. Friendships, obligations and common oaths forms Rathgari society and tie tribes to one another just as much as familial ties. Such obligations and oaths are expected to be upheld with sword, shield, and stubborn resolve. Nevertheless, the Rathgari are a pragmatic people who make peace as often as they make war. The foes of one summer may stand in the same shieldwall in the next, especailly against outsiders.
