Giants

Overview

Giants are an ancient and towering race closely tied to the primal forces of the world. Known for their immense size and overwhelming physical power, giants are capable of shaping landscapes, wielding colossal weapons, and surviving in some of the harshest environments imaginable. Many giant clans dwell among mountains, deep valleys, frozen tundras, or ancient ruins where they guard sacred lands, forgotten knowledge, and relics from ages long past.

Despite their fearsome appearance, giants are not all mindless brutes. Many possess rich oral traditions, spiritual beliefs, and deep respect for the natural world. Their societies are often built around strength, wisdom earned through age, and loyalty to family or clan. Some giants live as solitary wanderers, while others gather in small tribes led by powerful elders or chieftains.

When angered, giants are devastating opponents capable of crushing armies and tearing apart fortifications with ease. Their presence alone is often enough to inspire fear among smaller races.
