Giants

Giants were created by The Maker around the same time that he created humans (see here). At first, there was only one kind of giant, and they were very similar to humans, only much larger and stronger, but not as smart or adaptable. Over time, giants evolved in various ways until there were several different kinds of giants and the original race was nothing but history. All giants worship The Titan, Pekatish, to at least some degree, though many worship some other god as their primary deity.

Cloud Giants : Cloud giants descend from a tribe of giants who lived high up on the tops of mountains and worshiped The Winged, Tiltarnia, and to a lesser degree her mother, The Whirlwind, Arania. These two goddesses granted greater abilities to the cloud giants, as well as teaching them the ways of creating cloud castles. These castles float about randomly on clouds in the sky, usually following around the spring season (which is caused by the Plane of Air), and never floating into the fall season (which is caused by the Plane of Earth). See the Cosmology page for more details on the elemental planes.

Death Giants:  Death giants come from a tribe of giants that worshiped The Taker, Dekatia. She granted them their ability to use Trap Souls to make themselves stronger.

Earth Giants : No one really knows how earth giants came to be, but many speculate that they arose from the least developed and intelligent giants, eventually becoming their own giant race. Many earth giants worship The Titan as their primary deity, and while they frequently don't share his alignment, he usually overlooks this due to the special place he has in his heart for giants.

Fire Giants : Fire giants arose from a tribe of giants who worshiped The Flame, Pycdor. He granted them greater strength and their fire based abilities.

Frost Giants : Frost giants come from a tribe of giants who lived in a very cold region who worshiped The Icicle, Bascila. She granted them their cold based abilities and greater strength.

Stone Giants : Stone giants descend from a tribe of giants that worshiped The Rock, Gruthar. He changed them to look more like himself and grants them special abilities.

Storm Giants : Storm giants arose from a tribe of giants that primarily worshiped The Unpredictable, Echwalith and The Whirlpool, Gleana. Shortly after the first tribe of storm giants had arisen, one of their number, a powerful cleric of The Unpredictable named Tuuppieth, was granted godhood as the god of storms. But the powers given him overwhelmed him, and he raged and stormed all over Sitiath. He also revealed himself to his tribe of storm giants, who immediately recognized him and bowed before him. He filled them with rage, and they went out into the world and rained destruction upon whoever they met. This continued until the The Unpredictable and The Whirlpool were forced to step in. The tribe of storm giants were ashamed and tried to make reparations for what they had done, and since then have generally stayed pretty reclusive. They kept the granted name of storm giants to remind them of what they had done. Most storm giants worship The Unpredictable if they live in the mountains. Those that live in underwater communities typically worship The Whirlpool or The Water Maiden, Racilika. Some storm giants worship The Ruiner, Tuuppieth, but fewer than you would think.
