Goliath
At the most treacherous of coastlines or on mighty ships cast out to the unforgiving seas dwell the reclusive goliaths. Few folk can claim to understand a goliath, and fewer still can claim friendship with them. Goliaths navigate the endless expanse of water, wind, and cold that others stay away from. Their bodies look as if they are carved from the jagged stone of a shoreline and give them great physical power. Their spirits take after the wandering wind, making them nomads who wander from shore to shore. Their hearts are infused with the cold regard of their icy realm, leaving each goliath with the responsibility to earn a place on a ship or die trying.
