Where and how in your opinion, should the Bearans start their journey?
You wake up from a winter slumber just to find out that there is a massive war happening now? Maybe start off peacefully, while learning the basics? How about a Human helping you, and teaching you the Human ways?
Let's discuss!
I agree with them starting of in the tundra zone, however I would recommend that they be a very proud species. According to the lore it was just the one king that convinced them to join the sacred order and I believe you should make them a proud and relatively isolated race with them only allowing the strong. It would give them this honor culture and would fit in with the order. They have their own code and only trust those that have earned their respect. Maybe make it so that they dont particularly like the elves and only ally with them because they really hate the undead. I believe that their should be some minor conflict within the order
