The first and oldest people. of Fincayra,
"giants from every land call Fincayra their ancestral home. Even
before the rivers began rolling down from the mountains, the footsteps of
giants marked Fincayra. Long before Arbassa first sprouted as a
seedling, their rumbling chants echoed over ridges and forests....They can
grow taller than a tree, our giants. Or even a hillside. Yet
throughout the ages, they've stayed peaceful. Except for the Wars of
Terror long ago - when goblins tried to overrun the giants ancient city of
Varigal. Usually, unless someone makes them angry, they are as
gentle as butterflies." (p.149-150)
Stangmar issued an order to kill the giants
wherever they were found. His soldiers have hunted the giants
ruthlessley. "It's possible that a few giants still survive,
disguised as cliffs or crags, but they must always stay in hiding, afraid
for their lives."
