Bear Clan

The Bear Clan was an extinct Minor clan. Fields of Victory, p. 34
== Foundation ==
The Bear Clan occupied lands north of the Kitsune Forest, on the southern border of the Scorpion Clan. The Bear gained Minor clan status from “an Emperor in the fourth century, in recognition of valuable service performed for the Throne by a samurai of heroic stature.” 
== Destruction ==
In the early seventh century, Emperor Hantei XVII was reported by an unnamed Emerald Magistrate that many of the Bear had fallen ill and were starving. A deeper investigation exposed that the Bear Clan Champion was a mahō-tsukai and many of her followers had also adopted the vile practice. The Emperor ordered the Lion Clan to put an end to the threat. The Bear Clan made their last stand near the present-day village of Shaiga, but the army led by the Lion Clan Champion outmatched the defenders. Those few who survived fled into the Kitsune Forest. When the Battle of Grim Resolve ended, the Bear Clan had been obliterated.
