Giants (ˈjīənts)
Workers of the Mountain. Molders of Stone.
Tall and imposing, the giants (or "Rock Giants") toil away in their grand city of Rokstead. Built entirely from mountain stone, the large city functions as both a home and trade city for building materials. Rocks and stone are ordered in huge quantities from other races in orderr to build settlements and walls.
The giants import them on carts, pulling them down the mountains themselves. The Stone Speaker, Roth, is known as the strongest of the giants, and he serves his people by taking deliveries the farthest distances.
