What are the Giants?

The Giants are seven creatures of gargantuan proportions that float on space, between the Islands. They are not considered a living creature, as they seem to not rest, feed, age, or bleed. They have been here since before People and there has always been seven of them. Their nature is unknown; if they age, it has never been seen; if they bleed, they have never been hurted enough to see whatever they might bleed.

Some people think they are related to the Corpses, which makes People believe there have been previous civilizations, who disappeared or died for whatever reason, only thing left of their times the dead Giants, now being Corpses. The theory is usually refuted because the Stars arrived after a long time of civilization birth; yet this is usually dismissed as barely nothing is know of the Stars and maybe they are migratory and they just do not know it.

They periodically get close to The Creator and surround it, staying there for some time. How often and how long they stay differs in each Giant. Their movements are also unique to each Giant. Because of their connection with The Creator, there are a lot of myths and tales surrounding them, most make them gods, or minor gods, or familiars of sorts with The Creator.

The Giants are very passive creatures, which have made some of them perfect places to settle down. Lots of species call the Giants their homes, and some settlements have been build in them as well. Since their movements are slow but foreseeable, they are also used as transport or bridges between islands.
