Jestoki
Pronounced (Dj'ye-stow'kee), also known to some as Ursalyn, the Jestoki originate from frigid tundras of the north. They have migrated to cover the world and split into many different cultures and subcultures.
They are big into hunting and foraging, and especially love berries. In colder climates, they are often are seen wearing the skins of prey they've killed. In fact, it's a part of their culture to have youth come into manhood or womanhood by slaying and skinning their first kill. In northern cultures, fish are very important to their diet and inland their diets depend more on big game.
The Kalkora is a natural enemy of the Jestoki, a mountain breed of Lupine Familiaris (Karelian Bear Dog).
