If you travel near any large Ursin city, you are bound to hear some form of military chant or song. Ursin society is very militaristic and strict. Ursins are the tallest of all the races being 6 to 7 ½ feet and weigh 200 to 300 pounds. They are stocky people with large stature, even the average Ursus can be slightly intimidating. They have round bear-like ears upon their head, and teeth to match. Their hair and fur colors will generally be browns and black, with a tanner skin color.
Ursin people have had a militaristic society from the beginning. Like the Nahesa, they've always followed their Elemental, the Earth Elemental, and considered them their leader. The original Earth Elemental valued strength and power to keep their people unified and together. They used their display of strength and power to persuade their enemies not to invade, and to keep dissonance from forming within their empire. Many of their festivals and parades are to celebrate their own accomplishments and power. During the years of war, they tend to side with the other beast races, yet see themselves as superior to them. They have a low opinion of the maoanese for keeping their noses in books and not refining their military strength.
The Ursus tend to make large extravagant towns,and instead of villages they will make forts and outposts dotting their territory. From a young age the concept of potential war is drilled into their heads and weapon training is part of their every day teaching. Every citizen knows they can potentially be drafted into war, regardless of gender. Male and females play every role in Ursin society.
Ursin names generally have three names, a praenomen, a nomen, and a cognomen, and have roman names.
