In the FRCS it lists all the Uthgardt tribes and their ritual enemies. The Blue Bear tribe was listed as another tribes enemy and then states that the Blue Bears are deceased. I seem to remember there being more to the story from the original 2nd edition stuff. What happened to the Blue Bear Tribe? Was their demise listed in any FR material? |

If I remember correctly the Tribe was wiped after attacking Citadel of the Mists, in search of the lost armories of the Daemonfey. |

Oh boy, now I really can't wait for this book. |

True, but their numbers were seriously curtailed, Tribe of the Elk was the dominant one, but the years of war had to have taken their toll on the already-devestated tribes. After the Battle of Ten Towns, the 4 or 5 tribes were all basically wiped out and consolidated into one. |

Except that most of them moved back to Ten Towns after the battle with the drow of Menzoberranzan. |

I would wonder about them maybe moving north and filling in the void in Icewind Dale area since the Battle of Ten Towns and Wulgar's subsequent revival of Settlestone effectively removed much of the native population of barbs from the region. |

I would hazard a guess that such a defining term has intentionally been left out for potential future use. One could imagine a plot germinating around a resurrection of the Blue Bear tribe. |

Yes, the blue bear kicked the bucket, but the tree ghost is still up and running. What happened to the survivors? Did all of them join the tree ghost? |

Definately looking forward to that one. The Uthgardt have been a favorite of mine since I read Savage Frontier a LONG time ago. |

Tanta Hagara, if I remember correctly. Her hagspawn son is listed in City of Splendors. Hagar Hlutwigson, who has a ban of Uthgardt cast offs serving him as thugs in Waterdeep. |

Not just the history section... there are tidbits about the Blue Bear tribe and its connection to the events at Hellgate Keep spread throughout the entire adventure module.

As I recall, the 2e Savage Frontier tome recounts the sinister details.
