Challenge of Dern

Military action

The Giants wandered much of the world, but the appearance of the Elder Races would drive them from many of their ancestral homelands. When the god Dern chose to create his children, the Humans, in the Great Plains, the Giants challenged him.   It is said that the god's wrath was kindled, the sun grew in size and ferocity until the ground lit aflame. With the god's show of prowess, the Giants chose not to fight the god and instead retreated from the Great Plains.
