Koros

Koros is the hidden settlement of the Giants located on the easternmost side of Thor Bardam's landmass. Once having dominion over all of the land in the area, the Giants have since then been mercilessly hunted by the Dwarves in hopes of extracting their secret wisdom of ancient runic magic, which has since empowered Dwarven creations and fostered their culture of forging. As such, the Giants utilized their understand of magic to form an illusory wall and demi-plane that houses a large section of the island away from dwarven sight, which they have since named Koros.

Demographics

Almost all of the denizens of Koros are giants or goliaths, with some Firbolg pressed in some manner due to their alliance with some of the Fey Courts in the Veneer.

Government

The Ordin Council: This council is formed of the elected official made to represent each respective giant tribe of Hill, Stone, Fire, Frost, Cloud, and Storm. It keeps in line with the Ordning that the Giants obey religiously, all decisions being led up to the Storm Giant Chief.

• Storm Chieftain Songnr: Head of the just Storm Giants, Songnir stands old enough to remember the Age of Horrors and the chaos it wrought, seeking to do what is best with his wisdom to protect the world from descending into such chaos once again.
• Cloud Chieftainess Varos: Head of the manipulative Cloud Giants, Varos and the others of his kin are protective of Giant lore and are the ones who created the illusory border that protects Koros.
• Fire Chieftainess Thyr: Head of the crafting Fire Giants, Thyr seeks to protect the ancient runic magics of the giants and will do anything to do so.
• Frost Chieftain Laudr: Head of the warring Frost Giants, Laudr is hot-headed and never backs down from a challenge, and meets the dwarves often in open skirmishes and snow-blasted ambushes.
• Stone Chieftain Thretr: Head of the mining Stone Giants, Thretr seeks to expand mining and ores but cannot due to the Dwarven incursions and has been having issues doing so, risking capture to try and collect ores for her people.
• Hills Chieftainess Mygoua: Head of the working Hill Giants, Mygoua seeks to protect her people due to the fact that they hold little magical power unlike their cousins, and are the ones who have often been taken and tortured for the wisdom of the giants.
