Giants

The Giants, or Jotunn live a nomadic life at the foothills of the mountains and in the plains.  Their numbers have been in decline since elves arrival.

the giants history is not recorded.  Their level of society is similar to ancient Mongolians or Tibetans.

do giants have mounts?  What would they look like?  Do they trade with other races?

Before Elves and Dwarves came to Earendel, it was the domain of the Giants and the Dragons.  Nobody knows the true history of that time.  Some believe the Giants were created by some unknown god to eliminate the dragons, Perhaps to pave the way to other species entering.

Although that early history is unknown, the result was a diminishing giant culture and an elimination of Dragons from the land.

The giants are nomadic now, but this was not always the case.  Their city, original name unknown but now known as Changaimina, now stands abandoned in the foothills of the mountains.  The Giant’s architecture mainly consisted of stone dome buildings, made of single pieces of granite.  As no quarry for this granite has ever been located, it is thought that the Giants had some magical ability to conjure stone.

There is evidence of a Royal Palace as well as a Senate, but no writing has ever been found in the city.

Modern Giants have no magic, live in a simple tribal community, and since the human ambushes of the recent past, wary of outsiders.  They are mostly peaceful, with skirmishes at times between tribes, but they will only attack outsiders if threatened.
