Sep 15, 2008 16:26:58 Odd Question, with two possible answers.

If you mean "Where are they?", then the answer would be just about everywhere one finds Goblinoids and Orcs.

If you meant "Where is their homeland?", then that's a much tougher question, and possibly one without an answer.

I gave them a homeland IMG, buts thats Homebrew. I don't remember reading about any canon Bugbear civilizations at any point in history - unlike the Orcs, Goblins, and even Gnolls, all of which had very large Kingdoms at one point or another.

Sep 15, 2008 16:56:47 Bugbears aren't from anywhere. They just travel around, following adventurers so that there is some easy sport early in the campaign.

...and if things go right for the PC's they end up in the shadowfell. ><

-Bugbears are most likely interlopers, who came from another world, to Abeir-Toril.

Sep 16, 2008 3:44:56 I'd say that, as goblinoids, bugbears may be the most stinking common species in the Realms alongside their hairy cousins.

Sep 16, 2008 8:39:11 You could have them come from the Moonsea; wasn't there some sort of ogre kingdom they would fit in? Thar?

-Sounds like something Khaelieth would picture.
