The Briggs mountain range is an in inhospitable place, for the most part it seems to have a constant blizzard like state. If you plan on visiting these barren mountains then you'd best be prepared for the incredibly cold weather, and the bears. It is said the the bears of Briggs are amongst the most fearsome, often reaching sizes far larger than that of normal bears. It is very likely that this has come about due to the harsh nature of this area. Survival of the fittest is the law here.
