Urkou: Difference between revisions

The urkou are a proud and [[noble]] people that originally hail from the far northern realms where their thick hides and massive claws allowed them to survive in the inhospitable climate. Early explorers would frequently bring back tales of lightly dressed ursine warriors with massive glaives of pure ice marching across the tundra plains, unphased by the bitter cold and ferocious in battle.

Over the millennia, the urkou developed a vast tribe based nation that spans the enormity of the arctic ocean and the northlands of Gathandia. This society came to be known as the nation of Tievos. Tievos is predominantly a nation of urkou, though over the many years other lineages have come to call this land home. Tievos venerates a matriarchal governing system: dynastic primogeniture is practiced with the eldest daughter of the High Queen ascending to the throne after her mother’s passing.

While urkou are fiercely independent, they are equally patriotic. Most urkou will go to great lengths to help other Tievos, from lending supplies to taking up arms on behalf of their brethren.
