who farm on the Great Plateau, the mine dwarves who spend their much of their lives in the Bilden Mine looking for treasures, or the arctic dwarves who fish the
unforgiving northern seas in Snowpeak; the dwarves will always be strong and show that size does not matter.
There are only a few dozen giants left in Galfin, the few remaining wander the realm trying to survive. Centuries ago the mighty cyclops destroyed city's and
crushed armies of elves and humans, the smaller races had enough and confronted their abusers, they exterminated most of the cyclops. During this genocide the
giants were grouped with the one-eyed monsters and hunted as well. The different regions hold different types of giants. The frigid north is home to the mighty
blue-skinned frost giants. The oldest subspecies of the towering creatures are the ancient ones; who take refuge in the old ruins of the Charmsand. The plain
giants are peaceful and wander the Great Plateau searching for trees and wild cattle to eat. The monstrous cyclops have one eye and wander the different realms of
Galfin, mostly terrorizing the mountains and the countryside. Giants have an incredibly long lifespan, but even the gargantuan beasts cannot survive raids from an entire village.

Great Plateau. The daijin are a race of hunters living in the Vargen Swamplands; they use swamp gas powered weapons and vehicles. The mighty yergralffe live in the
