Hekaton

The city-state of Hekaton was the swordarm of the Group of Eleven - a city so powerful it held the Cul'sir at bay. By exploiting the infinite battles of Shavarath, the people of Hekaton grew into peerless warriors, seeking new challenges with unmatched ferocity. Their Titan ruled through her skill with the blade, and that was enough to earn her the right.

At first, the Hekatonri warred openly against the Eleven, until they offered something irresistible. In exchange for mercenary services, the Group offered the chance to invade every plane in existence in search of new opponents. When an outside force threatened the Eleven, it was the Hekatonri that met it head-on, asking for no more than a glorious battle, or a glorious death. Society in Hekaton revolved around strength and dominance.

Duels of honor decided social standing, with each warrior often staking their very lives on the outcome. The loser became subservient to the winner, entering their household as a vassal under their command. In this way, the Titan of Hekaton was decided through one simple but impossible feat - conquering the entirety of the city-state, and bringing them under her Peerless Command.

Only one giant managed this feat, renaming the nation after herself, and gaining the title of Hekaton Rex, blessed of the god Arazur. Giants descended from the Hekatonri are marked by one striking trait- they possess more than two arms. The sheer speed of Hekaton’s strikes created the illusion of her having six arms at once, inspiring her people with a new method of matching her; to take on their own Titan, the Hekatonri sought methods of gaining extra limbs. Some made pacts with mariliths, becoming tieflings, while others channeled sword wraiths within them to strike with ethereal blows. In battle, a single Hekatonri formed an unfettered whirlwind of steel - and when the ultimate foe flew into Xen’drik on scaled wings, they went down fighting.
