Highbears are the only other race as old as [[Elf#|Elves]]. They tend to see themselves above all other races and view honor and family as being more valuable than even their relationships with the dragon aspects. Lowbears are those who have dishonored their family or kingdom and have been exiled from Ursamar to live among the other races. A racial slur for Lowbears is ''A'nu''. Highbears are honorable creatures, and betraying one another is an act of treason. As such, if a Highbear breaks the trust of their community, they are banished through a ceremony called A'nu Lomante, which translates to "Farewell Disgraced", and announced an A'nu, or Lowbear, unworthy of honor. The Highbears once resided in Ursazoll, the highest peak in the Realms. However, after the Birth of Magic, [[Yvander]], depressed by her father's death, forced the Highbears from Ursazoll, so she could stay there herself, as she believed that she would be closest to [[Phanto]]. The Highbears relocated to Ursamar, their new home. After this the Highbears outlawed the casting of Ice Magic.

Highbear is a Race in URealms Live. They are a race of powerful giant bears that very little is known about.

Description

Highbears are the only other race as old as Elves. They tend to see themselves above all other races and view honor and family as being more valuable than even their relationships with the Dragon Aspects. Lowbears are those who have dishonored their family or kingdom and have been exiled from Ursamar to live among the other races. A slur used to refer to Lowbears is A'nu. Highbears are honorable creatures, and betraying one another is an act of treason. As such, if a Highbear breaks the trust of their community, they are banished through a ceremony called A'nu Lomante, which translates to "Farewell Disgraced", and announced an A'nu, or Lowbear, unworthy of honor. The Highbears eventually relocated to Ursamar, their new home.
