Lore

From ages beyond count, Bugbears have strode the face of this world, bringing war to the pointed hearts of elves, and the fallow hearts of Man. How can other races feel that world belong to other race?? Only Bugbears have the passion in heart, the might in arm, and the wisdom in mind to hold this world, greatest of Marjack's creations and Marjacks gift to Bugbears! From the Lands Humankind calls Turkey do Bugbears sweep, driving fear and suffering to the weak lands of other races. Tis the right Marjack bestowed upon Bugbears, that Bugbears will straddle this world, standing as Collossus, with one foot on world, and other foot in the realms of spirit, for truly only Bugbears may see what lies beyond Marjack's veil. Hearken, and be told of the Tribes, and the structure that has endured many HUMAN inventions, and broken the might of ELVEN armies as dry kindling.

One Bugbear stands at the head of tribe, one Bugbear leads, blessed in Marjacks might and main, and this bugbear is named Atan-Ashi which mean in coarse human tongue, ' Highest Warrior.' Atan Ashi control all life of tribe, commanding respect as chosen of Marjack and from the power Marjack bestow upon Atan Ashi's arm. All listen to Atan Ashi, and all bow to no other creature, for only Bugbear is fit to rule Bugbear.

Beneath Atan Ashi, stand the Ashi, or warriors. Ashi make up all of tribe, from youngest Bugbear to eldest. All Bugbears that may lift weapon are warriors of Marjack, and all Bugbears are granted Marjacks strength in arm. Ashi, though, have more important matters. Ashi as well are the farmers, the crafters... Ashi provide for the tribe, and as such, Ashi price is raised beyond all the coffer holdings of Human and Elven nations. Without Ashi, the tribe would die, like cancerous tree, or be without art, as the Human tribes.

Beneath Ashi, fall the women and children. Even these are Ashi, forged in the grip of Marjack, but Su-Ashi. Su Ashi mean, again in the coarse tongue of Humankind.. " Tamed Warriors ". Su Ashi have not gained the fire of Marjack, and have not proven Bugbears of true might and main, yet.

Finally, come the least of the Tribes. Gojun-Ashi. Gojun Ashi mean " Lowest Warrior " and Gojun Ashi are nothing. Orphans, Gojun Ashi have no teacher in the ways of craft, so the Tribe must care for Gojun Ashi, for Marjack has commanded that no Bugbear child die when another may prevent it. Gojun Ashi, though, have no value, for Gojun Ashi know no trade, no nothing to be taught from father ( or mother ) to son ( or daughter ). The Tribe cares for Gojun Ashi and in return, Gojun Ashi learn two things. Gojun Ashi learn to fight, and the True path of Marjack. Gojun Ashi are traded often, to other tribes, for Gojun Ashi value is nothing compared to value of Ashi. Gojun Ashi have no say, only can Gojun Ashi follow commands of Atan Ashi, even to the death. In the Dance of Marjack, or battle, Gojun Ashi are the first to bring war down, and the first to drive Human and Elves to ground. Gojun Ashi boots are the first to crush the fragile bones beneath hard heel, and Gojun Ashi hands wield the weapon that draw first blood. Gojun Ashi are also first to die, souls screaming to Marjacks torturing grasp if Gojun Ashi has failed.

Should Bugbear die in battle, Bugbear rises to feet of Marjack, and become soldier in Marjacks Army. Should Bugbear kill slayer, then Bugbear rises to mingle with Marjack.. be coming general in Marjacks army, for greater glory.

One thing more, The reason for the covering of Bugbear arm. When a Bugbear is born, Marjack attends to the child. Marjack touches lightly the arm the child will use forever, and in that istant, Marjack gives child strength and might. Because arm is holy, it belong not to bugbear that carry it, but to Marjack only. As such, no one save other Bugbear, and then ONLY Hidewalker, may see holy flesh of Marjack

Reproduction

"a bugbear may procreate with anything, they are highly xenophobic, however. although when the mating drive comes over them they may procreate with other bugbears,goblins,elvish women(although the amount of riverwater that one takes is amazing) farm implements such as scythes, tractors,or hammers, fauna, preferable trees, croplands, volcanos,the air, etc.etc. The power of the bugbear seed is such that although there is no genetic connection between these things and the bugbear the sperm will force the object, plant, and/or sentient being to reproduce. The emtional/mental state of the bugbear and the bugbear's partner upon conception also affects the mental state of the bugbear upon birth and it will maintain that mental or emotional state once fully grown to adulthood as well. there are no known records of any bugbear other than purebreeds (those born a a coupling between a two bugbears) being born from anything other than anger and violence.

unlike other races, however, that produce halfbreeds the genetic materials of the bugbear are SO superior that it will always produce a bugbear. a few examples of this are as follows:

Vo'Kor, father by the coupling of a bugbear male and a dwarven steam powered locomotion machine. for the pinkies it's dwarven name is a train.

Graavish Doomshield, birthed by the coupling of a bugbear female and a mountain.

Drago, fathered by a bugbear male and and ironwood tree that was on fire.

Zi'Gor birthed by the coupling of a bugbear female and a lumberjack.

However Nanga Doomspear, the hidewalker of the Oldest tribe, was born of a coupling between a bugbear male and female."
