GIANT
Giants are a sad race. Hunted
endlessly for the fearsome presence they impose,
they are unable to congregate and form any semblance
of community. Their huge statures create a demand
for food that they can never meet. Constantly
malnourished, they are forced to scavenge and
raid small settlements and outlying farmsteads,
which only acts to further daemonise them. While
physiologically they have the capability to
match humans in intelligence, they are invariably
rendered feral and moronic by social isolation
and a lack of sufficient nutrition. Giants are
ostracised by their fellow Fey Folk for their
bestial decline, and fearfully butchered by
all others. Adorned in the pillaged accoutrements
of a culture that glorifies those who slay his
kind, this giant masks his face and binds his
scarred and oft-besieged feet with the shields
of felled soldiers. Stooped and bowed by gravity,
the giant has become victimized by the fear
his size instills.
