Thür

Thürs are a brutal race of warriors who inhabit the icy mountain ranges of The Frozen Wastes. Their tribes are constantly at war with one another, and woe to he who enters their territory unprepared.

Appearance
Thürs were once Men, but have been twisted like to their god, and have become almost as beasts. Their skin is icy pale, and their hair a wizened grey, akin to their surroundings in the far north. In terms of size, they stand taller than a Laochran, yet not as tall as a Son or Daughter of Wol. Their wide physique lends them great power and fortitude, and a thick hide aids them against both the elements and enemy blows.

Behavior
Thürs are savage at heart, their mortality gone. In its stead is the cold embrace of Thürsa, who promises glory to those willing to earn it. Although they cannot die by age, most Thürs live short and violent lives, ended at the hands of one another, if not some beast or Wild Thing. There are some who have lived on for many winters however, and the elders are oft the most brutal and vicious of them all.

It is custom for Thürs to cannibalize their beaten foes, and they do so in reverence to Thürsa. When the warmth of one being enters another, they consume their fallen foe's soul, and so empower themselves beyond mortal limits. Thürs, like all Wild Things, have no place in Wol's great halls.

Habitat
Thürs have adapted well to the harsh realities of The Frozen Wastes. Their thick skin and natural camouflage serves them against outside threats, and their cannibalistic customs do well to keep them nourished. Food is hard to come by this far north, so warm flesh is highly treasured. There are few other Wild Things in The Frozen Wastes, and most are wise enough to keep distance from any and all Thürian tribes.
