High Chief

High Chief was a title created by the ordening as far back to the Primordial Age, before Hill Giants were considered lesser giants and the Wood Giants still roamed. The title generally went ignored once the Wood Giants were killed off and the Hill Giants were called True Giants and thus, allowed to hold the title of Jarl
