History
The Toppling of Elkarth
Centuries ago, sorcerer-kings magically combined giant and human stock to breed powerful minions, creating the hardy race of towering warriors known as goliaths (not uncommonly called half-giants). Most sorcerer-kings had hundreds of goliaths in their armies and showered their mighty campions with luxuries in exchange for their loyalty. But the ones, not favoured by the sorcerer kings were treated like slaves and pets. In 1156 P.E. The largest of the cities ruled by the sorcerer kings, stood at the peak of the Niafeild Mountain, the tallest mountain in Joglotta, called Elkarth. It was ruled by it’s founder, the sorcerer-king Quisgar Elkarth. He was infamous for his ego and pride. But in the year 1235 P.E. A Goliath slave by the name of Vaudak Kingslayer Nola-Kathinu began a small resistance and rallied his fellow goliaths behind him in what was an very long and very bloody battle for the Goliath’s freedom. In the end, Vaudak impaled Quisgar on his own sword, and the goliaths of Elkarth were finally free. On this day, Vaudak Nola-Kathinu was given the second name of “Kingslayer” for his achievements. Vaudak’s resistance eventually became known as the Jǫtnar Bror, or “Giant Brothers” as they went city to city freeing the goliaths. Despite common assumption, The Jǫtnar Bror were extremely diplomatic, only using violence when absolutely necessary. With this, they freed the goliaths, and chased out the sorcerer-kings. However, records show that the Jǫtnar Bror never slew an innocent soul that didn’t raise a blade towards them, even during the uprising at Elkarth. On this day, Vaudak Kingslayer Nola-Kathinu became the first Prince of Joglotta: a land named of their giant ancestors.Brødre etter Brødre ("Brothers by Brothers" in giant)
