History
During The Ten years war of Eldar, Bearpoint, more known at that time as Alkuhuf, meaning Caves in Dreorish, was a stronghold the Valdar feared to challenge. The reason why it took so long for the Valders to invade and conquer all of Eldar was simply the siege of Alkuhuf. Most of the dreors of Alkuhuf starved to death in the caves, and when they were as weakest the Valders attacked in full force. The remainder of the dreors was still able to strike a heavy blow against the valders before the defeat inside the caves of Alkuhuf.
Alkuhuf was given to the Bearnor family for their courageous lead. It was not until later on the Bearnor's was infiltrated by the werebears of the north when the lord married one of them without knowing. The werebears slowly became the highest ranked creed in Alkuhuf and renamed it to Bearpoint in 548 AF.
