Blue Bear tribe

The Blue Bear tribe was a tribe of the Uthgardt barbarians that secretly held territory throughout the Delimbiyr Vale. Though they were believed to have been completely eradicated, they persevered through many years of hardship and survived the hardships of the North.

They claimed the cairn of Stone Stand as their ancestral mound.

Relationships
As of the late 15 century DR, some of the Blue Bear barbarians had allied themselves with the stone giants of Deadstone Cleft. Among them was Hydia Moonmusk, daughter of the tribe's Great Chief.

History
Many years before the Time of Troubles, the spirits of the Grandfather Tree exiled the Blue Bear tribe away from the High Forest ancestral mound.

In the, the Blue Bear Tribe was led by its malign great chief and shaman, the annis hag, Tanta Hagara. Hagara marched the tribe on Hellgate Keep and claimed it as her own domain.

As a result of Hagara's corrupting influence, some members of the Blue Bear tribe broke away from their kin and formed the Tree Ghost tribe.

By the following year, she had gathered over a hundred tanar'ri and other fiendish creatures to her army and assaulted the Citadel of the Mists. This assault was resisted and a counter attack was made by allied forces, including fey, treants, human allies and even a number of Harpers. Nearly all of the Blue Bear tribes people were killed in Hellgate Keep's destruction.

The Blue Bear spirit itself became incredibly weak, so much so that it was slain by the deity Malar.

Some time after the War of the Silver Marches, a few Blue Bear barbarians emerged from hiding within the High Forest and migrated east. They did all they could to ensure their secrecy.
