The Bears of Goran

Opening the book to the third section, you read:

 The Bears of Goran

Though their presence has been lost in time due to their reclusive nature,
the wood of Goran is populated with these large, intelligent animals.
Thought to be a creation of Lord Jolinn, the Bears of Goran are highly
civilized and more than one traveller lost in the woods has been aided by
these light-following creatures.

Beyond their dedication to helping those in their wood, and their ties with
the Titans, little is known about these bears, including why they prefer to
remain so cut off from the rest of civilization.
