Race: Arktikos
Arktikos
Born from the ice lands, the Arktiko appear mostly human with the exception of their larger size and the fine white fur that covers their body. One may suspect that the Arktiko were the result of some magical experiment intent on blending the polar bear with a giant. No one really knows as their history is lost… but when one meets an Arktikos – one always wonders. There are very few Arktikos living in the Forgotten Realms, though they have been around for over a thousand years, living in small isolated tribes in the wilderness areas of the Savage North.
