History
The Cub was the second hour to awake after the Hibernation. Seeing the place laid before it with fresh eyes, it felt a great need to grow. So, leaving its mother to guard the house, it set forth towards the glory, exploring all that the fledgling place had to offer. the Cub, who was birthed from the Den.
Description
The Cub was the first to enter the new house from the wood, seeing potential for growth past its gates and so in order to access the great power that lay within it, forged the Hide Gate. Ursa Minor is the Hour of growth and fresh vitality. In the Mansus it manifests as a youthful creature, sometimes canine, sometimes ursine, sometimes human and, occasionally as something altogether alien. In its human form it looks like a gentle but strong youth of indeterminate age, but unblemished by age, its eyes always the same deep brown, sparkling with curiosity. The Cub’s followers are much the same, seeking power out of a curious interest and a deep desire to grow. Those that pay homage are explorers and young soldiers, seeking strength and knowledge. Its first and only scar comes from its fight with The Stag. It learned, but still wishes it could have been different.
