The Giant Pantheon
The Pantheon of The Giants
The Giant Pantheon is a storied one, its past colored by tragedy and loss...at its peak, it was said to contain no less than 7 or more Deities who represented the incredibly varied and wondrously different beliefs of Giant-kin and ranged from Deities of peace, knowledge, love to ones of war and cold...yet now, only three remain. In the chaos of the Jotunhunts, the followers of the Giant Gods believe that this mortal schism was reflected in the divine realm, and either as a result from their follower's deaths and subsequent lack of faith or through direct murder at the hands of Moradin and his Dwarven Pantheon, the Giant Gods experienced a brutal culling that saw only three survive the slaughter by becoming hardened, tempered, and brutal.
Now reflections of the tragic nature of Giantkin in the current era, the three Giant Gods who remain are led by Freyja, once the goddess of fertility and women and wife of her husband, the now long-dead god Odinn, but now a brutal goddess of Destruction, trampling, and survival at any cost...a cold, mirrored reflection of the ideals held in high regard by Giantkin, who now must survive at any cost in this world that wants them dead.
Joining her within this much-reduced Pantheon is Ymir, a brutal and savage god who embodies the cold and is widely considered the herald of The endtimes, and his wife Nyfau, who is perhaps the last of the gentle Giant Gods. As the goddess of fertility, knowledge, and nature, she is the last remnant of a more gentler time for Giantkind...though even now, she has her share of savagery.
These two are said to be the only gods that proved capable of surviving in this new era for Giantkin, with all others falling or withering away into nothingness...even the more violent or brutal Giant Gods who could have thrived in this era were all but slain, chief among them the former Giant God of War and Battle, the legendary immortal god Baldr whose battled with Moradin was so mighty and mind-numbingly violent it sundered several Divine Realms and sent them disintegrating into the Astral Plane...though in the end, the once-immortal Baldr lay slain.
