Firbolg

The Firbolg are a cowl-like people that are descended from Giants. They are usually a druidic people, living in harmony with nature.
Old myths say that the original ancestors of the Fibolg were abandoned by Gaia for being too peaceful, leading to them being chased from their homes by the other Giants. Lost and homeless they were approached by the Goddess Demeter who took them under her wing, teaching them the ways of nature. This is why Demeter is the Divine Patron of Firbolg.
Firbolg can usually be found living deep within forests in druidic communities alongside other druidic people. Firbolg tend to be friendly and nurturing, living life slowly, taking care to enjoy every moment and everything in it. 
Firbolg tend to put special emphasis on family bonds, prioritising having a close connection to their friends and family. Because of these strong connections Firbolg rarely leave their comfortable communities.
