====== Cult of the Volibear ======

All gods have followers, and Valhir is no different, molding his followers into a force of nature that tears down walls and leaves settlements destroyed in its wake.

The Cult of the Volibear, as it is known, is comprised of several northern tribes united by their devotion to the storm-bear. A shamanic council listens for edicts from their god for guidance and direction. When they strike, they descend from the mountains like a fierce blizzard and vanish just as quickly.

Those who've gained the favor of the Volibear are given his mark, ascending into abominable hybrids of man and bear. Most lose their minds to savage instinct and become little more than attack dogs. Those who hold onto their sense of self are gifted with power over the storm. These sorcerous chosen rise to lead the warbands when they go on the hunt.

Thusfar they've been more an annoyance than a threat; A persistent thorn in the side of colonization efforts to move northward.
