White bear

White bears inhabit northern snowlands and riverbanks. Broad paws carry them over crusted snow and pale dense fur preserves heat. They follow rivers and seasonal animal routes in search of food.

Guides read fresh tracks and secure supplies in closed stores. An animal surprised beside food is dangerous, but need not attack every traveler. This is a bear with a bear’s muzzle; the boar-tusked kadven is a different species.
