"The Ujyalu are hunters given enlightenment by Sikar himself, they are no simple beast. One should always keep an eye on them."
The Ujyalu were a subspecies of ursine native to the northern regions of Noorland. They lived in these lands since they were first created by Ammsa after the creation of Provarus. Originally a species that was unintelligent, the Ujyalu caught the attention of Sikar after he had wandered near one of their dens. When he battled against one of the bears he noticed that the others began to circle him and attack more similarly to wolves. Surprised by their tactics and their speed he would defeat the maul and instead of killing them he would grant them enlightenment. In doing so he would name them the Ujyalu, or Bright Bear in the Old Speak.
Over time Sikar would carefully mix the bloodlines of the enlightened Ujyalu until their species would take the next step in their evolution. They would soon form tribes and learn to use tools. Their advancement would continue until the Devastation began. When the fighting between the Gods began, Sikar would call the tribes to fight beside him and Reknis. To his surprise, the tribes refused to follow Reknis. They would clash with their creator with an intensity unknown to any. In fear of defeat, Sikar fled to warn Reknis of what had happened. For decades the Ujyalu would take up arms with the other first born that sided with Dai’ba and would suffer countless losses. After many years of fighting, when the Devastation had finally ended. The Ujyalu would follow Mrhsus as he broke the lands of Mros away from Noorland and would eventually fade into history.
Anatomy
The Ujyalu originally walked on four legs similar to other ursine species. After being granted the gift of enlightenment, they began to walk on their back two feet similar to the Gods. While they began to primarily walk on two legs, they would continue to walk on all fours when hunting or stalking prey. Similar to other ursine, the Ujyalu have retractable claws that are still used for various uses. Their fur differs from other Ursine as over time it would become thicker, similar to leather armor.
Behaviour
Because of the enlightenment granted by Sikar, the Ujyalu are considered to be far more territorial and quick to anger compared to the other first born. They would often clash with other first born races that crossed over into their territory.
