“One time, a group of adventurers came to the Blue Lagoon seeking my help on some save-the-world-quest, you know the type.  They hailed from Renk, but one of them, a paladin named Lindair, was Humadin.  I tell you, Jerilyn, the brand of the bear was stamped upon his shoulder, but he knew nothing of the people of the steppes.  He claimed to have traveled through a fold in the Girdle to another world where he fell in battle to a demon bear.  He awakened in Renk, as I met him, reborn as a warrior of the bear clan.”  The Wizard of the Blue Lagoon
