It is possible the Ursine descended from bears, but the truth has long since been lost. They do show great respect for the ‘cousins’ and you will never hear of an Ursine taming or putting a bear in captivity. However they can commune with bears and may ask them for favors and kindnesses. The Ursine are known to be a reclusive race and often hard to find. Some even believe they are just legends. This belief is aided in they do not have a political structure. Ursine travel as small and tight knit family groups called Sleuths. These groups will typically stay in one geographic area and be familiar with other sleuths living in the region.
Because Ursine don’t have any large social groups they aren’t generally lawful. The family comes first and each family will have their own rules. They believe that right and wrong is something the family decides and laws are left for races that don’t have as strong a family connection as they do.
