Naaraskarhu

A tribe inhabiting the eastern reaches of the great boreal forest of the Northlands of Mirilarin. Adept hunters and woodsmen, they spend their lives deep in the forest, so at home their as to be almost invisible to those who pass through their lands. Only their main settlement, Naaraskarhu, home to the elders, shamans, and women with very young childern, stands out amongst the undergrowth, and even then, just barely. Comprised of low wigwams covered in spruce boughs, it could easily be mistaken for the lodges of strange, inland beavers, if it were not for the smoke of their cooking fires. 
Despite mostly keeping to themselves, they do sustain considerable trade with Kemerovo, and generally have good relations with the Ihalmuit, controlling the lands to the east of their own. Occasionally some of the young men of Naaraskarhu take it to their minds to head north to Gaivoutna with thoughts of warfare and adventure, and there they are received with great enthusiasm, as they make powerful and courageous warriors, and tend to stay around for longer than most. On the other hand, the Bear Tribe holds the village of Troitsk in great contempt, and tends to distrust the Ksatkians.
