Guardian of the Wilds
"We are the shield of the land, the fangs of the storm, the spirit of the mountain." Ursathar tribe who take up the mantle of Guardians of the Wilds are the protectors of their clans and sacred lands. Whether standing vigil over an ancient grove, hunting great beasts in the tundra, or enforcing the laws of their people, these Ursathar are pillars of strength and wisdom. Their path is one of duty—to nature, their kin, or an ancient code of honor passed down through generations. This background makes Ursathar ideal for barbarians, rangers, fighters, and clerics, giving them a blend of resilience, primal knowledge, and a deep connection to the wild.
