The creatures that most people call bears are just the vanguard of an ancient civilization, the brave few who agreed to undergo a dangerous, twisted ritual in order to become larger and stronger in order to protect the lands of their people. However, sometimes the ritual goes wrong, and the resulting creature has lost all, or at the very least most, of their mental faculties, leaving them nothing more than dumb beasts who act on pure instinct. Regretfully, and with great ceremony, these failures are given the task of being the furthermost guardians of the realms, put into a magical sleep and taken out to the lands beyond the lands beyond, left there to insure that nobody will come any closer.
The bears we know remember what they used to be, even if only on a primordial level, and yearn to return to a life they can never have.
