"Every thief has a story about the treasure that was too rich to haul away. You think you've seen magnificence? The halls of the pashas in Calimshan, maybe, or some patriar's estate in Baldur's Gate? Let me tell you, you've seen nothing. Those places are hovels compared to the palaces of the skyejotuns."
-Volothamp Geddarm
Cloud Giants are aptly named, or at least were at one time. Few of them live literally on clouds anymore, but most do reside atop high mountains, inside or even above a near-perpetual cloud layer. They are famous (or infamous) for demanding tribute from the humanoids that live beneath them.
Physical Description and Abilities
The quintessential Cloud Giant is muscular with light skin, and has hair of silver or blue. Attuned to the magic of their airy domains, Cloud Giants are able to turn into mist and create clouds of billowing fog. Better spellcasters than most other giants, some Cloud Giants can control weather, bring storms, and steer the wind almost as well as their cousins, the
Storm Giants.
Habitat
Cloud Giants are spread to the winds, encompassing vast areas of the world. They dwell in castles on high mountain peaks, or on the solid clouds that once held their fiefs. Still gracing the skies on occasion, these magic clouds are a lasting remnant of the Giants' lost empires.
