History
Not much is known about The Coryphians. For thousands of years the giants slumbered, the world growing around them. Their potent magic brought life to their surrondings and this life resulted in them being worshipped as benevolent gods. As they awoke, they saw the world in which their magic had sustained life as well as the worship they received. This made the Ancient Entherians believe they were truly gods to humans and fairfolk and the world belonged to them. During their reign the enslaved races were kept separate from the Coryph.
