Giantkin

---

The giantkin are medium sized humanoids with varying levels of Giant hertiage within their veins. Heirs of Ostoria, the Empire of Giants, they never the less have a rather diminished status compared to their full-blooded relatives who find rank and file based on their height. That being said True Giants are growing smaller and duller each subsequent generation, while the giantkin remain strong. There may come a day when the giantkin are larger than the true giants borns, but until that day no True Giant would easily submit to a mere runt. You are left a duty to restore an Empire that never wanted you, and that each day you question if they are even worthy of it. The All-Father Ammon left the world because of his disappointment in them after all, which all his Titan Children leaving one by one afterwards.   Age: Maturity 30 to 350 years.

Firbolg

  The touch of Fey has transformed the Firbolg, from massive giantkin of the northern reaches to a smaller more humble tender of Fey beasts and woodlands. The Fey-Touched Firbolg are one of the greatest of magic users amongst the Giants, but being more insular they tend to drive off other intelligent races from their territory. There are of course, the rarely curious Firbolg that will use their magic to blend in amongst humans without them being any the wiser. They had great relations to the Fey, but tend to avoid the Elves and human Rangers or Druids.   Firbolg Magic: You can cast Detect Magic and Disguise Self, your spellcasting ability for this spell is your choice of Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma. Once you cast either spell, you can cast it again with this trait after you finish a short or long rest or cast this spell normally with any spell slots you have.

Goliath

Gruumshborn

  Descendant from Cyclops and Orc Priests of Gruumsh, most wear a yoke of their forbears religious persecutions on Orc and Giant kind amongst Orc societies. Often they find themselves moving to more secular human societies to make fresh starts; drawn to mercenary work they are naturally gifted at.

Hafuvarjo

  Descendants of the Storm Giants, Halfuvarjo or Half-Uvarjo-Tunen, despite their much reduced height Storm Giants would never allow one of their own to be viewed less in the Ordning than any lesser giants.

And better off for it with their savage nature, half-trolls do not survive as a rule when raised by Trolls.

Ogrillion

  Orginially a term exclusively for Those of half Ogre and half Orc persuasion; Ogrillion's cover those with Hill Giant hertiage, Ogre mixes, and even the occasional Verbeeg.

Ottarsson

  Descendants of the Frost Giants of the Northern Reaches, Ottarsson are considered far beneath most Giantkin of the Northern Tribes. With raw strength being such a critical aspect of Frost Giant's, their hybrid offspring will often be treated even worse than even Ogres or Firbolgs.
