High Bears 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. Low Bears 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 Low Bears is A'nu.

Abilities

High Bears are known to be extremely powerful, accessing almost any spell they can. However, it is known that they cannot use any from the Ice School of Magic, but it is currently not known as to why.

The High Bear Laws

High Bears are honorable creatures, and betraying one another is an act of treason. As such, if a High Bear 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 Low Bear, unworthy of honor.

The High Bears 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 High Bears from Ursazoll, so she could stay there herself, as she believed that she would be closest to Phanto. The High Bears relocated to Ursamar, their new home. After this the High Bears outlawed the casting of Ice Magic.
