Osmiskrig

Most giantkin believe in a prophecy called Osmiskrig, meaning Cosmic War. In this prophecy, the giantkin creator and patron deity Fjellskjearer will return to Aedelor to split it into halves: a great chasm will open in the world as Fjellskjearer pushes at its ends, snapping the world into two. One half will contain all of those whom she has deemed worthy, and she will lift that half into the upper planes, while simultaneously damning the other half and by extension all those she deems not worthy to the lower planes. A great deal of a typical giantkin's life is spent trying to prove their prowess to her so that they may be considered worthy during Osmiskrig.   This prophecy foretells not only the end of Aedelor, but details a great war of the gods that will occur after it, larger than any before. Those chosen by Fjellskjearer will fight alongside her and the court of Aelum against the courts of the lower planes, in particular that of Zazelthul's Nihil. People disagree about what comes after victory in this cosmic war. Some believe that a new world will be shaped for the victors which is full of vibrancy, life, and goodness, while others believe that no new world will be created and they will instead rest for eternity. In either case, most believe it will be a fate well-earned.
