Goliath Species in Terra Rynn | World Anvil

Goliath

Before the fall of the Titan lords domains, and the rendering of "The Price" by several enchinder races, a few isolated giant clans began the first steps in abduction and experimentation that would eventually breed the Genasi. The Goliath were the Titan's first attempt at creating a useful servent-class to add in their subjugation of the lesser mortals.   Forged as weapons for the Titans, they would eventually be freed from their bonds by their former rivals, the Muscovans, and together they would form a brief alliance in bringing the Titan's to heel. In the centuries since, the Goliath tribes would roam the borderlands of of the Northern mountains, searching for a purpose and belonging in a world that struggled to integrate their combative nature.

Basic Information

Anatomy

Goliath's are immeasurably large compared to similar mortals. They stand between 6' and 8' tall, and weight anywhere from 200 to 400 lbs, on average. While a Goliath may not live particularity long lives, they often mature early, and remain fit and healthy for a majority of their 60-70 year lifespan.

Civilization and Culture

History

Imbued with a piece of the Giants' prodigious strength, these Goliath proved to be powerful warriors and trackers, able to hunt down mortals, particularly dwarves, into their mountain strongholds. For a time, they were some of the most feared shock troops of the Titan Lords, and would establish themselves among both the Pentasis and Kajatopka mountains. We're it not for a series of daring battles, and the persuasive efforts of one of the Mordune Saints, the Goliaths might have faded into obscurity.   Instead, a great skism was forced among these half-giants, and in a strange twist of fate, they rebelled against their former masters, and helped cut off a few titan lords advances, ultimatily leading to their eventual downfall.
