Goliath

A powerful humanoid race who has the blood of the sleeping giants in their blood, they live insular family focused lives in the high peaks of Western Keskad.    Highmountain Goliath cleave to more human like culture. The Goliath live in clans with formal lands and usually have membership in the Confederacy.   Icespire Goliath are more traditional DnD Goliath, living in small and remote family groups. There is no overarching organization here. Some tribes fight against the trolls, other tribes fight for them and others try to just be left alone.   Veshk Goliath are made up of tribes who were driven from their homes in the Ice Spire mountains and live in between a Rock and a Hard place. Though the Trolls have not shown any interest in pursueing them down from the mountains, they now live in lands that a powerful Blue Dragon matriarch claims, though at the far edge of them. They live around oasis and in the steep foothills of the Vesh Mountain range, or the eastern Icespires , depending on who is telling you about the region.   The Veshk Goliath have a disproportionate amount of females, as pregnant females were encouraged to flee in the face of destruction while the non pregnant females and the males stood against their foes.
