Firbolgs are a intelligent race of giant-kin, who live in - and see themselves as the protectors of - the deep forests of the north. A highly reclusive race that is seldom seen residing with other races. While they rarely show hostility, they don't allow outsiders within their societies - that they usually conceal using illusion magic. However, gaining friendship with a Firbolg is not difficult, and friends of one are immediately considered family by everyone.
They are innately attuned to The Weave, allowing them to turn themselves invisible, change their appearance (even their size), and talk to animals and plants.

The name Firbolg comes from the Dwarven language, meaning "big men with spears".
