'''Giants''' are one of the [[Races]] of which only some still remain. == Physiology == === Appearance === Giants are so enormous that Humans would compare them to mountains, which is also a territory they thrive in. Standing on ground level, a human needs a [Speaking Stone] to talk to them. === Physical Qualities === When an assembly of giants moves, the shockwaves and tremors can travel extremely far, causing Earthquakes hundreds of miles away. That is a reason why they don't move much. They're said to have skin so tough that even an enchanted battleaxe couldn't break it.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/02/26/7-10-k/ Chapter 7.10 K]</ref> ==== Diet ==== === Magical Qualities === Like Dragons, Giants appear to have different elemental types. It's not known how many elemental types exist. The following are known: Ash,<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2022/05/03/8-84/ Chapter 8.84]</ref> Gemstone,<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2022/05/03/8-83/ Chapter 8.83]</ref> Frost, Fire,<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2022/04/26/8-82-pt-2/ Chapter 8.82 pt. 2]</ref> Cloud,<ref name=":0" /> Lightning,<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2021/06/19/8-28/ Chapter 8.28]</ref> and Obsidian.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/07/19/7-36-c/ Chapter 7.36 C]</ref> == Subraces == ==== Ash Giants ==== ==== Cloud Giants<ref name=":0">[https://wanderinginn.com/2022/03/14/8-71/ Chapter 8.71]</ref> ==== ==== Frost Giants<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2022/04/26/8-82-pt-2/ Chapter 8.82 pt. 2]</ref> / Ice Giant ==== ==== [[Half-Giants]] ==== Or rather Part-Giant, are the descendants of the Giants. They appear to be [[Humans|Human]]-like, but are just several times larger than Humans (like [[Zamea]]), or even appear to be just overly large Humans (like [[Moore]]). ==== Lava Giants<ref name=":1">{{VERef|Another Time}}</ref> ==== ==== Mountain Giants ==== They have skin of rugged stone and eyes made of clouds.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2023/10/03/interlude-the-library/ Interlude - The Library]</ref> ==== Storm Giants<ref>{{VERef|10.17}}</ref> ==== == History == Their names are nearly unpronounceable for Humans, which also hints at them having their own language. Giants were building palaces for the [Kings] of [[Terandria]], then the [[Humans]] declared war on them. In fact, most races have gone to war with Giants, among them [[Drakes]], [[Lizardfolk]], [[Jinn]], [[Djinn]], [[Dragons]] and [[Gnolls]] - and pretty much every race, dead or alive. All of them fought Giants, and Giants fought them all back, and also died to them. Human ingenuity was a major factor in many Giants' deaths. Giants built a city for their kind in what would be the kingdom of [[Golaen]]. Feeling that their time in the world was coming to an end, the last 38 Giants answered Archmage [[Silvenia Ettertree|Silvenia]]'s petition to fight the [[Demons]] of [[Rhir]], deigning it a worthy end for their kind and a final service to the world. However, the [[Demon King]] of the time met with them peacefully, and afterwards the Giants chose to side with the Demons instead.<ref name=":1" /> The Giants haven't fought for quite some time, but say that at some future point they may choose another ''side'' - until then, they wait.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/07/15/7-35-c/ Chapter 7.35]</ref> Not many giants are still alive, with most people even believing that the whole species has ceased to exist.<ref name="7.34 C">[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/07/12/7-34-c/ Chapter 7.34 C]</ref> == Known Giants == ==== Ash Giants ==== *Rhetorisel (''Deceased'')<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2022/09/25/9-17-r/ Chapter 9.17 R]</ref> *[[Zirconia]] - Last Giantess (''Deceased'') ==== Cloud Giants ==== *??? - Last Cloud Giant (''Deceased'')<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2022/03/14/8-71/ Chapter 8.71]</ref> ==== ???
